Both smartphones run Android 1.6, complete with Sony Ericsson’s Timescape and Mediascape apps, together with a 2.55-inch QVGA touchscreen and 3G models with both 900/2100 HSPA and 850/1900/2100 HSPA variants.
Each has Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync support along with A-GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi and a 3.5mm headphone socket. The X10 mini measures up at 83 x 50 x 16 mm while the X10 mini pro is a little thicker at 90 x 52 17 mm; each gets a 5-megapixel camera with geotagging, autofocus and an LED flash.

Combining the Android platform with signature applications and a customisable UX platform, communication truly becomes entertainment with these new mobile phones.
