Sony Ericsson Press Release:

Get Compact and Clever with Sony Ericsson Xperia™ X10 Mini & Xperia™ X10 Mini Pro

14 February 2010

* Sony Ericsson grows its family of Communication Entertainment phones with compact versions of Xperia™ X10 for the first half of 2010

* Xperia™ X10 mini and X10 mini pro define a new user experience - ultra-compact - whilst still offering best-in-class communication entertainment performance

* Smaller than a credit card, smart and unique with Sony Ericsson Timescape™ application and an intuitive 4 corner touch screen user interface

February 14, 2010 - Barcelona – Today sees the announcement of Xperia™ X10 mini and X10 mini pro, compact versions of Xperia™ X10, which will deliver powerful and application packed mobile phones into the industry. By introducing mobile phones that are both compact and clever, Sony Ericsson is challenging the norm and defining a brand new offering that combines high specification features with a version of Sony Ericsson’s powerful UX platform specifically designed for smaller devices.

Xperia™ X10 mini and X10 mini pro with slide out QWERTY keyboard offer an open and intuitive communication entertainment experience and build on the human curvature design philosophy debuted by the Sony Ericsson Xperia™ X10. Combining the Android platform with signature applications and a customisable UX platform, communication truly becomes entertainment with these new mobile phones. To enhance the experience, pick and choose from a multitude of applications at Android Market™ and co-create a mobile phone experience that is entirely unique. Users can go one step further and customise the home screen’s four corners and widgets to access the most needed applications for limitless possibilities.

The two sister mobile phones incorporate the signature application Sony Ericsson Timescape™ which brings all communication together in one place so users can see at a glance text messages, missed calls, and Facebook™ and Twitter updates, without having to open lots of different applications. The interactive music player also uses the “infinite button” to pull together all music content from the music store and YouTube™ – a smart way to search for new tracks from a favourite artist.

“There has been an enormous buzz around Xperia™ X10 so it is really exciting to be already unveiling compact versions of this powerful proposition.” Said Rikko Sakaguchi, EVP and Chief Creation Officer, Sony Ericsson. “With the X10 mini and X10 mini pro we have pushed the boundaries of what is possible with smaller devices and are giving consumers exactly what they want; two high performance mobile phones with a fully customisable user experience platform and a stunning ultra-compact design.”

setju x10 mini/pro k0mpak bgt lah pas bwt satu tangan, jd gk ribet bwt sms or buka2 aplikasi plhan laen bwt gw yg ga sbr bgt.bgt.bgt nungguin mini pro, kpan keluar yaaaaa mini pro!

yg Mini cuma virtual kiped ga ada virtual keyboard ya kalo ga salah? Ga tau d kalau diinstal software bisa ga dapat virtual kibod yg manusiawi. Atas alasan ini juga makanya gw nungguin Mini Pro bukan si Mini, pingin punya physical kibod!

^
Kayaknya bakalan susah ngerancang virtual keyboard yang manusiawi di X10 Mini..
Kalo ngeliat videonya, pake virtual keypad dah cukup nyaman sepertinya..

btw ada yang bilang mini pro nga isa dicopot2 batrenya

kalo dibandingin ama OMNIA II bagus mana yah?
soalnya hari ini kakakku abis beli OMNIA II 4,5 juta + screenguard

@atas

[tautan dihapus]
ga bisa update ke froyo gara2 insuficent rom
tapi btw ROM itu apaan?
apa gunanya?
saya taunya ram sih

tadi iseng2 liat di SE centre yang di lantai dasar E-centre supermall lippo karawaci.. di price list nya ada di tulis harga X10 mini 2.999.000.. gw mpe kga percaya ,trus nanya ke mbak2 yang jaga disana.. kata dia itu memang harga yang bener, tapi barang belum masuk.. klo bener cuma 3jeti sih worthed bngt tuh.. tapi kga tau juga mereka salah tulis harga ato kga.. jangan2 pas launching jadi 3.999.000 kan ngga seru..

yap harganya gak sampe 3 jeti !

Ada yg bilang di SEShop Roxy dan Ambasador juga segitu hrg nya.......bener2 gila aja kalo sampe salah harga sih..... :P

Review X10 Mini udah ada di GSM Arena :
[tautan dihapus]

Hmm... ternyata ada beberapa hal yang nambahin pertimbangan ya (at least buat beberapa orang) :
- Kualitas suara dibilang lumayan (berarti ga bagus2 banget, ato masih kalah sama Elm dan Hazel)
- Kualitas kamera bagus (walau ga disebut salah satu yang terbaik), tapi UI Camera-nya terlalu standar...

Kalo yang Mini Pro gimana ya... apakah modul kameranya tetap sama kayak Mini ?

hehehe....salah satu faktor bikin g batal ambil x10 mini krn lagi pengen hp camera Ok lagi, apalagi beda 1 jt....so pilihan Hazel

ho oh dah ada reviewnya di GSM Arena, tinggal tunggu review X10 Mini Pro. Kapan ya mini Pro keluar? Oh ya hari ini di koran Kompas ada iklan X10 bersaudara lagi, Mini bersaudara masih Coming Soon

After checking out the X10 mini pro's removable battery, we were surprised to see a non-removable one on the X10 mini.

Final words

Small phones are special, no doubt about that. The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 might just be too special to have mass appeal but we don’t think it’s what this phone is trying to do. The X10 mini is an experiment, which works out well.

It’s hard not to like the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 mini. It’s equally hard we think to not notice its limitations. But we should make it clear: it delivers on the main promise it made when it first appeared in public – it’s a capable smartphone that every pocket can take. Better yet, it isn’t outrageously expensive either.

The user-interface has been well optimized for the little (in touchscreen terms that is) display and while this has involved some functionality sacrifices, they aren’t too bad. Granted, you won’t be able to edit documents or read maps as comfortably as on the full-size XPERIA X10 but the mini is by no means a poor relation.

No review can help you make up your mind about a phone like this one – if you haven’t already. You might think it’s a cool and cute li’l droid – or see no point in it whatsoever. After all, there’s plenty of smartphones out there that will do the same things (and better) within the same budget.

Anyway, to put things into perspective, let’s check some of the potential challengers in the lightweight division.

If you can do without smartphone capabilities you might want to check out the Samsung M5650 Lindy and the LG GD880 Mini. Both are lookers (we do admit though to a particularly soft spot for the LG mini) and offer plenty of connectivity in compact form factor. They certainly aren’t as small as the XPERIA X10 mini but will perhaps cost substantially less.

If smartphone is a must, but it doesn’t have to be Android, Nokia 5530 XpressMusic is another affordable handset that will easily slip in any pocket. Again, the size comparison is undoubtedly in the X10 mini’s favor and the Nokia 5530 skimps on 3G but essentially it’s a compact smartphone that will save you a good deal of cash.

If you would like to stick around in droid land, you have the HTC Tattoo to check out. It gives similar performance but comes in a larger body and trades the Timescape UI for Sense.

You can always go for some QWERTY-ness with the XPERIA X10 Mini Pro or the Nokia N97 Mini. Because, let’s face it – text input is not among the X10 Mini’s strengths.

Well it does look like there is plenty of choice in the compact class, but not a single one goes quite as far as the XPERIA X10 mini. If size really matters this is the ONE real mini, and basically your best option.

Reading your mail, browsing the web or watching video will be better on almost any other touch phone out there. But the X10 mini doesn’t want you to be sensible and practical. It hopes you’ll appreciate the idea behind it. Getting smaller and better – isn’t this the life story of mobile phones.

kalo X10 mini doang
orang yg gak tau abis beli pasti bakal marah2 + nyesel tuh
apalagi abis liat tuh review..........
udah batre gak isa dicopot2
keyboardnya ga enak bawaan apalagi layar kecil ,dll dah

ada info mini pro kluar kapan?
