Qualcomm eh… sorry, Sony Ericsson taught us to expect devices with excellent reception, good speech quality and the X10 mini pro is no exception.
The phone vibration function is powerful enough, perhaps a little too powerful and the speaker ringing volume is loud without many distortions.
The device manages to leave a positive impression in general mostly due to its small size and straightforward design, even though it doesn’t come without its faults. Based on an outdated version of a popular and pretty much flawless operating system, it manages to stay afloat, but barely, thanks to some optimizations made by Sony Ericsson that, although not capable to eliminate the shortcomings, made it at least acceptable and more than just usable.
If only it had made it to the market along with its brothers a little sooner and had time for the initial blossoming of the Android market, the situation would have been radically different and in favor of this device.
Nowadays it is nothing more than an average solution making as much use as possible of some distinct features to justify both its existence and price.
I have my doubts about its success on the market since there are way too many competing solutions and the sliding keyboard by itself cannot differentiate it from most of them.
A simultaneous launch of all the three devices would have saved the situation a little in the way that Sony Ericsson would offer more than one choice to someone willing to stay loyal to this phone manufacturer. Now, most of these people will go for the already available X10 and try to forget it’s disadvantages both in hardware and software, while some of them will naturally and logically choose a phone from either HTC or Samsung if they are Android fans first of all things. This leaves less potential buyers for the X10 mini and even less for the X10 mini pro.
