Lets face it - size matters.
And when it comes to mobile phones, smaller is better.
Or at least it used to be.
Now it seems to be more about who can make the skinniest handset.
The human race seems obsessed with making every gadget the tiniest, thinnest and lightest it can possibly be.
But sometimes, particularly when it comes to phones, this can come at a cost, with important features sacrificed to shave off those valuable gr...

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 mini pro deals on contract
The XPERIA X10 Mini gets a similarly minimized X10 brother with a side sliding QWERTY half-shell keyboard and gets a “Pro” sufficed at the end of its name, so you have the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini Pro.
It does everything else as the Mini but is pitched at a market with a fondness for tactile QWERTY keyboards on a palm-sized handset. QWERTY sliders often need some getting used to on full size handsets with larger wide-VGA screens but the MiniPro takes the cake as possibly the most compact QWERTY slider phone on the market but is one of the fattest at 17mm when the X10 itself is only 16mm.
Downscaled X10 Features
Those familiar with the Xperia X10 features should easily recognize what it means to be a mini. The Mini Pro lives up to the name but it remains one of the most capable Android smartphone on its own without to a superior X10.
- The Min Pro is powered by a Qualcomm MSM7227 clocked at 600 MHz down from the 1 GHz Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon used in the X10, but just a as capable for its minimized set of specs. It runs on the same Android 1.6 Donut customized with the Rachel/UX user interface.
- It’s the same quad band GSM with class 10 GPRS/EDGE speeds on the 2G network and a dual band UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA for the European and Asian markets and a tri-band for the US markets on the 3G network. There’s also WiFi 802.11b/g for hotspot internet support and the same Bluetooth 2.1 with S2FP and microUSB 2.0 for wireless and wired local data synchronization and transfers, respectively.
- The Mini Pro weight 120 grams and measures a compact 90 x 52 x 17mm that can’t accommodate the stunning 4-inch display on the C10 but a mere 2.6-inch capacitive touchscreen with 16 million colors, It still comes with the same gravity accelerometer and scratch resistant surface.
- Its digital camera has the same autofocus, LED flash, and geo tagging features, but it gets downscaled from 8 to a 5 megapixel resolution without image stabilization and face/smile detection. It is has a diminished VGA video recording from the X10’s WVGA video capture resolution.
Internal memory on the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini Pro is one severe casualty when the 1GB in the X10 goes down to a mere 128 MB but with the same near-unlimited phonebook entries and fields. A microSD expansion slot is still there for up to 16 GB. Its retail sales kit comes with a 2 GB microSD card free.

When it comes to comparing smart phones, dealing with all the specs and style details can get pretty hair-raising, after all, what is great and practical to one person may be completely useless for another. But when the only thing you look at is the sales performance, then it is easy to see which mobile phones truly are succeeding in the UK. Starting things off, no list would be complete without the Sony Ericsson X10 Mini handset. The small si...
