The Sony Ericsson X10 Mini will charm the pants off anyone who looks at it!

Sony Ericsson have introduced the smallest touch sensitive Smartphone ever! The X10 Mini measures in at a microscopic 83 x 60 x 16mm and is an absolute featherweight at 88 grams. The phone is a mini me equivalent to the Xperia X10 and boasts similar technology on a (smaller scale of course); it runs a re-evaluated version of TimeScape and benefits from the Android 1.6 operating system which also brings with it an accelerometer for auto rotation.

The phone has been modelled on the Xperia X10; it runs a lighter version of Android and delivers a portion of the TimeScape technology you find on its big brother (the Xperia X10), this allows you to manage your social network accounts and receive status update alerts and tweets from Facebook and Twitter respectively. The device comes in a range palette of colours including lime green and pink along with your basic black, white and silver. Its cute rounded design gives it real charm and just makes you want to play with it more, once you pick it up its hard to put down, its like cuddling a kitten! The 2.55 inch QVGA screen is intense and vibrant, it can comfortably render up to 16.7 million colours and it shows off the same four corners customization feature branded on the X10, this feature lets you setup your favourite or most used apps in the corners of the screen for quick to hand access.

Sony Ericsson have impressively built-in a 5 mega pixel digital camera for the snap happy and given it video recording capabilities to boot. The camera has auto focus for lens focusing and geo-tagging so you can add information on where the picture was taken. There are location services with turn-by-turn navigation with WisePilot, Google Maps and a-GPS so you will have no problem finding your way. With Android you get the obvious services you would expect from Google like the Android Market for additional applications and YouTube compatibility.

The X10 Mini has ExchangeActiveSynch and full e-mail integration so you can synch your phone to personal or business inboxes, this means you will always be a fingers length away from your inbox no matter where you are. With other obvious things like the conversations option for your SMS messages and instant messaging Sony Ericsson have made sure they haven’t skimped on giving you plenty of choice when it comes to communication.

As entertainment goes, Sony Ericsson has packed this little device with an FM Radio 3D games and video streaming. The music player is brilliant and manages to play multiple file types including mp3′s, the sound clarity is very good and the bass is deep and smooth, this quality can be delivered through either the phones built –in speakers of via the 3.5mm jack into your own headphones and the video player does a fine job of playing videos at a descent frame rate.

Overall the Sony Ericsson X10 Mini is an adorable little kitten that gives you full Smartphone functionality with top draw messaging and entertainment trimmings, the TimeScape feature translates well onto the smaller handset and the phones general appearance is appealing and enchanting, there are heaps of add-ons for personalization not to mention the inter-changeable casing. The X10 Mini will charm the pants off anyone who looks at it, my general feeling is that it will appeal to younger people and women more than it will the business user or mature users.
