Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini Pro

Many people will find the XPERIA X10 Mini Pro too small. However, we found it to be a quirky but compelling handset. Sony Ericsson deserves a lot of credit for an excellent UI and a great physical keyboard, not to mention the fact that this is a fully fledged Android smartphone that doesn't skimp on the features found on larger, more expensive devices.

Tarun Khanna's poor reception comments are irksome but it does make a good point. It is very difficult to find a review on a mobile phone that includes a comment on it's reception capability. In Australia, for many consumers, it is the number one criteria for a smartphone so one would expect an Australian reviewer would know this and include it in their review.
