As with the HTC Wildfire, the X10 mini is not going to be for most smartphone fanatics as its small and low resolution screen will simply feel too restricting. However, it's surprisingly usable and if size is your primary concern there's simply nothing out there that matches it.
The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini is something of a surprise package. It is a tiny phone, but offering the Android operating system brings with it the convenience of a handset that can be easily customised. You don't get short-changed on the hardware front either: you still have your essential hardware covered. The skin that Sony Ericsson has layered over the top of Android makes it simple to use and we didn't feel that there was any real problem getting a response from the screen.

While the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini does not have any glaring faults, it isn't spectacular in any department. The small size brings a significant compromise in terms of lesser screen size and quirky handling for users who are accustomed to normal sized phones. However, the Xperia Mini X10 clearly caught the fancy of our female colleagues who were completely at ease while dealing with the tiny phone. And the phone despite its diminutive size offered good performance across the board. So, maybe, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini is a special offering by Sony Ercisson for the female population looking for a "size-zero" touchscreen phone that is powered by a very capable Android OS.
Though Sony Ericsson deserves kudos for managing to produce an Android handset that's so tiny but still fully featured, we are not convinced this is the best route to undertake for a smartphone. The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini is just too tiny to be considered a practical, everyday mobile phone.
