Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 mini - Black (O2) Smartphone

as its an android its features are great, loadsa free stuff inc games and really random apps, ease of use is good as long as your aquainted with touch screen technology, battery life isnt the best but it is pretty good, there are features on the phone that can help conserve battery power but because its an android the battery does get used a bit quicker than other phones, value for money depends where you buy it from, tesco are good but ebay is better, definate bargain get one!!!

good little phone fits in your handbag easily because of the size or i suppose it will be good for a mans trouser pocket. this is an android phone and with me never using andrid before i have found it really easy to download free apps. didnt really like the idea of touch screen as my friends phones have been unresponsive to my fingers lol but this phone is very resposive to touching it and i am very impressed with it. 5MP camera is another benefit on this phone love taking photos and have found this really good.

This a good phone overall providing you know the caveats outdated android 2.1 (cannot be updated officially) and no multi-touch, you get a cheap phone with enough power to stand as an android phone but I would advise people to get the newer xperia mini instead.

However If you don't like to game or use many apps but want a phone that's small, android, cheap and easy to use, play mp3s and watch some video then this is the ideal phone.


+works fine as a mobile phone calls reception is decent interface easy to navigate.

+ looks fantastic, not heavy to hold, and buttons etc feel good, phone is incredibly responsive and quick so far.

+Sound quality is great when listening from earphones

+It can take up to 16bg sd cards for storage *however android 2.1 has issues see below.


+Battery life is good

+ Can be bought used for around £30-£75(locked/unlocked) (time of writing),

+ Fantastic portable size, among the smallest android phones which is a big achievement when it was released.

+wifi

The display quality is great for its size

Video playback is good

-Only has android 2.1 this has many drawbacks including being unable to install apps into sd cards rendering storage almost useless other than mp3 and videos as a result limits storage to phone memory.

-No multi-touch making it bad for so many apps and games

-video recording is average as with camera

-much better phones like htc wildfire s in its price range.

-touchscreen only (no keyboard)

dont bother because when it goes wrong it frustrating eventhe manufactures are not intrested short battery life always force close mean apps dont work properly screen freeze especially when using social networks rubbish for face book i wouldnt even sell mine to save the embarassment

I like its so easy to use & very simple. Its really compact. Dislike how the battery can't be taken out so when it freezes you just need to wait till the battery runs right down. I bought this product because i needed a new phone & it was recommended to me by a friend.
