Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 mini review: Shrink to fit

03 June 2010
It took a while before mobile phones became portable not only in name. At one point, small size alone made a phone something special. Calling and texting were all there was and twelve buttons were nonnegotiable...

I've a customer with an X10 Mini who cannot receive calls when her phone is connected to the net or using 3G to download an app. Is this normal? Can it be changed?

And is there an app to enable her to send files via bluetooth?

    So, you feel comfortable spending 300 EUR on a phone with non replaceable battery? Good for you! A very clever move! :D What comes next? A phone with a monthly usage tax? :D

                        Q1. If possible, how can one update this to the newer version of Android easily and at no cost?
                        Q2. Does it work easily with hotmail's email, contacts, calendar, just like messenger does? Or perhaps one is better with windows mobile?

                              the question is, can this run google maps 4.1.1.1 beta - which includes the maps navigation.

                              I know you said it wasnt on there by default but what about if tis updated from the app store???

                                I think I'm going to have one. It's advantages are much more than it's dises for me...cuz I was always looking for a phone covering my duties in such a small size.

                                    Bought this phone yesterday with white and red back covers. Its very small and looks very attractive in red and white back. Rest all applications works really well except no bluetooth file transfer. Though it can be used by android after market softwares.

                                      QWERTY/slidetype keyboard + 10 or so apps from android market and this is the best phone ever! This phone is so so compact, you will have to hold it to understand what I mean.

                                      About the thickness, it is 16mm in the center of the phone but probably around 10mm in the edges. This makes it fit perfectaly in hour hand.
