Is the new Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini simply jumping about the bandwagon started by Nokia together with their N97 Mini mobile phone? Well, not exactly when the new Sony X10 Micro phone takes things even smaller coming out as the smallest Android phone ever to get produced.
Just to make it a much more attractive proposition the manufacturer has additionally released the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Miniature Pro (now this is getting in the form of mouthful! ) which incorporates an entire slide out Qwerty keyboard set.
All this and many of us still haven't even seen the release within the original Sony Ericsson X10 Android phone that is due any day at present.
Judging by the choice of colour schemes available to the new Xperia X10 Mini it looks that this compact new phone could be aimed firmly at your youth and fashion market as in the matter of the N97 Mini.
The colours offered include White, Silver, Dark-colored, Lime Green and that important Pink edition.
It may seem that stripping back over the overall dimensions would effect the performance of the new Xperia phone, but actually the Sony X10 Mini still comes with a high end 5. 0 huge pixel camera, WiFi, 3. 5G assist, GPS, FM Radio, 3. 5mm audio jack and also an expandble memory - pretty impressive coming from a phone that weighs just 88g!
Powering this new phone may be a 600MHz Qualcomm processor which with the 'Panels' UI and the Android OS adds up to speedy navigation, there can also be access to the Android Market which continues to add new applications regular for download.
A big query should be whether the smaller couple of. 55 inch touch screen will be big enough to enjoy all of those features and also Android operating system? Sony Ericsson looked of having re-jigged the homescreen with shortcuts put into each corner for painless finger tip access but in relation to viewing videos and surfing websites can this smaller filter size really deliver?
The addition of the Qwerty keyboard within the Mini Pro version for the new Xperia X10 might can be found in very handy as you can only imagine that small screen size could make using an on-screen Qwerty laptop pretty tricky.
Both the Sony Ericsson X10 Tiny and Mini Pro happen to be scheduled for release with Q2 of 2010 when using the original X10 due for launch soon.
