Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Overview

The Xperia X10 Mini is exactly what it says on the tin - a "mini" version of the original S.E X10. We first come across this bitesize handset when pictures leaked back in January 2010, at the time it was codenamed "Robyn" but when announced at the Mobile World Congress on February 14th it was donned the "Xperia X10 Mini" and Sony Ericsson shared it is available in a large variety of colors.

Specs include a tiny 2.55" inch display, a 600 MHz processor , 5 MP camera with Auofocus and single LED flash, an FM radio and runs Android 1.6 with Sony Ericsson's customized and interactive user interface 'Timescape'. Check out the Video Tab for a run-through of the UI.

The Sony Ericsson X10 Mini is available NOW  through a number of operators now and even available from online e-tailors sim-free and unlocked with International Delivery if you don't fancy being locked in a contract!

Sony Ericsson: XPERIA 10 Line Will Get No Updates Beyond 2.1

The first disappointment of the Sony Ericsson XPERIA line was that it was leaked what seemed like a decade before the company actually launched them. Product after product was leaked and launched while the XPERIA series waited in the wings for its shine. Because of the delays, it launched with less fanfare than initial buzz [...]

T-Mobile UK Confirms its Xperia X10 Lineup to See Android 2.1 Update Next Week

While hope continues to be dashed that Sony Ericsson might actually produce a worthwhile Android handset, at least they have finally made good on their word to upgrade the aging Xperia X10 lineup to a newer (but not the latest) version of the operating system. Hey, Android 2.1 is better than nothing, and next in [...]

Xperia X10 Mini Fashion Edition by Orange is “like having Milan, Paris, and London in your Handbag”

Sony Ericsson and Orange are targeting all you fashion buffs with a fashion edition of the Xperia X10 Mini. Their ad for the device swears that it’s like having Milan, Paris, and London in your handbag. Um, ok. Anywho, it comes with two interchangeable “fashion cover” colors – white and pink. Other than that, it’s [...]

Sony Ericsson Issuing Android 2.1 for Xperia Line (Nordic and Other European Regions) Sunday

Xperia X10 Phones Not Getting Eclair Until Late October

After promising an end of September window for the upgrade to Android 2.1 for their Xperia X10 phones, Sony Ericsson’s had to push it back yet again. This time, they say we shouldn’t expect to see the upgrade begin to roll out until late October as they need a few more weeks before it’s ready. [...]

New Xperia Upgrade Timeline Shows Android 2.1x, No Froyo?

We know the upgrade to Android 2.1 is coming for the suite of Xperia phones Sony Ericsson’s got out and about right now – and we know it should be headed our way before the jingle bells start ringing – but what about anything beyond that? According to a leaked roadmap for the X10 and [...]

Android 2.1 Coming for X10 Phones End of September, Says Sony

Sony Ericsson’s UK Twitter account today tweeted that Android 2.1 for their Xperia X10 phones – the X10 itself, the Mini, and the keyboard-sporting Mini Pro – should all be seeing Android 2.1 right before September comes to a close. As their UK account tipped everyone off to that piece of news, we can’t confirm [...]

Xperia X10 Mini Wins European Mobile Phone 2010-2011

The Xperia X10 was leaked so far in advance of its launch that excitement for the device wavered when it was actually made available. That’s not to say it wasn’t and isn’t a strong offering, but these days it seems the X10 Mini is getting all the praise. The European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) [...]

One Click Root for the Mini X10 Twins Now Available

These days, it’s almost standard to see a one-click root method for a phone soon follow the “down and dirty” method that must be found before creating this sort of utility. The Xperia X10 Mini and Mini Pro have already been rooted, but if you haven’t been too confident on trying it for yourself, then [...]

Go ahead, pull out your handy-dandy “To Be Rooted” chart and check off a couple more, as the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro have been cracked open thanks to — you guessed it — the helpful guys over at XDA-Developers. Now that I think about it, that to-be rooted list is [...]

How Many Android Phones Don’t Have User Replaceable Batteries?

One thing many of us throw into the faces of our iPhone-toting friends and family is the fact that – with most Android phones – you can replace the battery in case you need to pop in a spare (or in case the battery craps out and you need to buy a new one). Our [...]

X10 Mini Shows Its Guts in Tear-Down

There is something exceedingly cool about seeing the insides of any piece of technology, seeing how it all fits together underneath the polished exterior. Taking a look at the interior of the micro-handset that is the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini might be even a bit cooler given its size. iFixit did a number to [...]

[Update] Xperia X8 Official, Yendo Walkman Not Android-based, X10 Trio Gets 2.1 in Q3

Pair of Mini X10 Phones on Rogers Getting Closer?

We’ve heard for a while now that Rogers would be seeing the Xperia X10 Mini and Mini Pro sometime in the summer (with recent reports drilling that timeframe down to the earlier part – that being June), and that may still be the case if the latest rumor about the not-so-identical twins turns out to [...]

Details regarding availability of the Xperia X10 Mini (outside of the phone going to Vodafone)  have been spotty, to say the least, but we can at least say that our friends in Sweden can expect to see the phone in shops tomorrow.

Xperia X10 Mini: Quick Demo

I had never seen the Xperia X10 Mini live in flesh so i was excited to see that Sony Ericsson had it on display at their booth. And it could be awhile before I see it because the current plans include a European distribution but nothing in North America. In any case, the simplicity of [...]

Xperia X10 Mini Official Unboxing Video

Sony Ericsson has posted an official unboxing video for the Xperia X10 Mini, and in case you were still wondering, this phone is SMALL.
