Sony Ericsson started off the proceedings at the Mobile World Congress in style with the announcement of one known and two "unleaked" handsets. The phones in question are the Xperia X10 Mini, the X10 Mini Pro and the Vivaz Pro - the last one being the only handset whose existence was known prior to the announcement.  The Xperia Mini series will complement the flagship Android handset, the Xperia 10 that is set to be released in the next few weeks. Let us now take a look at each of the new phones in detail, shall we?


The Xperia X10 Mini, Mini Pro:
The Xperia X10 Mini is really what its name says. A credit card sized version of the Xperia X10 (which if you're not aware, sports a mammoth 4-inch touchscreen), it runs Android 1.6. Both phones are virtually identical except for the slide out keyboard on the "Pro" version. The Mini and the Mini Pro feature a 2.55-inch QVGA touchscreen. Like in the X10, they also come with the Timescape application that integrates text messages and social networking updates of your phone contacts at one place. Both the phones support HSPA 900/2100 and EDGE 850/900/1800/1900, HSPA 850/1900/2100 and EDGE 850/900/1800/1900. For imaging purposes, there is a competent 5 megapixel camera at the rear of both the phones. Thanks to GPS, the camera supports geotagging of images. Both the phones come with a 3.5 mm audio jack for music and on the connectivity front, feature Bluetooth and Wi-Fi as well. 



Even though these phones are small in size, they do weigh a lot, thanks to the features they pack in. The X10 Mini Pro weighs 120 grams, and is 32 grams heavier than the X10 Mini - which tips the scales at just over 88 grams. On the software front, there is full access to the Android Market. The Mini and the Mini Pro will be available starting this very quarter. No details regarding the price are disclosed as of now.

Unfortunately any new device that had a multitude of buttons and moving parts (slide etc) begins aging as soon as the owner takes possession and begins using it. I touch-based device however is all software, and can only improve and get better via updates to improve performance and usability. No keys to jam up, no slide-circuit connectivity issues. Maybe this isn't so important in the age of disposable mentality.

My X1 has so disappointed be with Sony that it's hard for me to imagine getting involved in the Xperia line again. So many issues that haven't been resolved from the P800 days it makes it seem that either Sony's incompetent or just don't give a damn. Either way, bad news when you're trying to pump out $500-$900 dollar smart phones.
