AnonD-24468, 14 Oct 2011@jerry nice and helpful review, thanq. may i know fro... moreAnd one more thing...The call quality is not as great. Having used a Nokia before, the call quality is definitely not a USP for the Mini Pro. Guess I can live with that...

Hi all, I have this mobile since Monday, so I can give you my review. My previous phone is a Samsung Omnia 2, so I will also do like a comparisson. My version is 11W35
What is worse than I thought:
- The eletrostatic noite, as people complain a lot, is quite noticeable. It's like someone popping bubbles from 1 sec. intervals.
- The back cover is the worse I've seen in any mobile phone EVER. It's almost impossible to remove it without nails, it's very hard, and when you put it back, it's almost impossible to fit one of the sides. I really hate that, and I could say is the worst in this mobile.
- The hardware buttons are pretty bad and not intuituive. The lateral buttons to the volume are too small, and the top button also. When the phone is in your pocket you simply can't find the right buttons.
- The mobile is pretty heavy, but that's not very bad. The worse is the thickness. It's quite thick.
Not as bad as i thought:
-Photos are not as bad as people say, but at least are definitely worse than Omnia 2. The video is quite good and sharp, I liked it.
-The battery is not as bad as people say also. It has little capacity, but it is normal for an android phone. You can survive a day with it, so no problem.
Better than i thought:
- The capacitive screen is great. I was used to a resistive one, so I'm in love with the touch. Great feedback;
- The screen is very bright and vivid. My Omnia 2 is 800*480 4.8 with 252 ppi density and this one is only 192 ppi with small resolution, but trust me, it is quite nitid, vivid, bright and appealing. This was my worse fear, but totally blew me that it is so nice. I don't know if it is related to the bravia engine, but i have to say, it's a great screen.
- The 3" screen: I was also worried about the size of the screen for internet browsing and such. But I have to say the for the size of the phone, this screen LOOKS BIG. I do web browsing and emulte games quite well, so the 3" is a very nice and I don't need more than this.
- I've never seen a mobile phone so fluid... My Omnia 2 took about 1-2 seconds to react when I onpen menus, change volume or open the task manager, but Mini Pro is just 0-lag. You can expect the best interface possible.
- Audio quality with the xLOUD is really impressive.
I would recommend this mobile, considering the good price and the almost perfect UI, with speed, usability, intuitivity and prompness.

Finally, after all the questions and research, the Xperia Mini Pro sits in my hands now. Have used it to for the past 2 days and here is my review.
1. Since battery Life is a much talked about issue, i will start with it.
Usage paramters:
Since these were my first two days, my internet was always on, Gmail forever on the sync and the Android market delivering an app almost every hour.
Music - About 20 mins
Games - 15 Mins
Browsing - 2-2.5 Hour
Talktime - 1 Hour
Brightness - Minimum
My Battery came down to 10 % after 12 hours! I think that's pretty impressive. At least better than my previous HTC.
The battery cuold have been better but considering the other pros of this little wonder, I wouldn't mind carrying a spare battery in case Id ecide to stay out for a little longer.
Battery - 7/10
2. Performance: Truly a pleasure!! Way better than my office PC. The touch is very impressive and every click and touch is very responsive. Apps open without any lag and with those eye candy animations, I would do anything but complain
Performance - 9/10
3. Aesthetics : Some might feel it looks a bit feminine. But the bulky, rugged look makes it anything but that. The phone looks pretty decent. But could have been a less bulkier.
Aesthetics - 8/10
4. Media - No complaints on this front. Just did a video call with my fiance over a 2G network!! Though she got break dance images of mine, the overall call quality was good. 3G or wi-fi would surely make it better
10/10
5. Value for money - 9/10
Just feel Samsung give more value for money in terms of technology but nothing matches Sony's quest for enhanced user experience.
OVERALL - 9/10
The slider is great. I could not make out any electrostatic noise. No hangings. Android 2.3 has better power management.
Now for the cons:
1. The power chord could have been longer
2. Front cam could have had better resolution
3. The volume buttons and the camera snapper are too deeply dug into the sides. A bit uncomfortable using them.
4. Onscreen keyboard is anything but comfortable. Don't know how xperia mini users are managing
5. The keyboard is good except fot the top row of buttons which are too close to the bottom of the upper slider. You tend to keep banging against it. You know what I mean.
6. Some uninstallable bloatware. not a problem though but frustrating indeed.
All in all a great phone with great power and very much affordable.
My opinion - Definitely a good buy!

i was so excited about this phone, great features considerable price ... But the truth is that seeing it in the store was disappointing. I simply dont like the feel, got my hands on the black one, the old xperia mini pro feels much more solid ..Dont know why but also white one leaves better impression, but i guess will get dirty fast.. i also got disturbed by flashy silvery details ..
