So - Does anyone have one yet? First comments? Mine's on order from Mobicity so I'm hoping to have it in my hot little hands by the end of the week...

I can tell you it's freakin' tiny!

I'm keen to here a review as I'm thinking this might be good for the wife, she finds my Nexus One way too big.

Sony Ericsson are sending me out a review unit within a few weeks

Excellent - Freakin' tiny was one of the things I was looking for I found the iPhone too big for my pockets, and I prefer an actually qwerty keyboard (none of this screen tapping business)

When I get mine I'll post some first thoughts and stuff..

Right - My x10 mini pro arrived today and is currently plugged in and charging.

Unboxing photos..




First thoughts - it's going to take me a little while to get used to not having the rollerball of the HTC I was using - but if you're coming from the iPhone that shouldn't be a drama. It was surprisingly quick and easy to get set-up - and I actually really like TimeScape - it has a bit of that "wow - cool" factor - although it's not really the most useful app in the world.

Not being able to add a million apps to the home screen may bother some - but I never had that many anyway.

The keyboard - although small - has a nice click response, and is easy enough to use if you have little girly fingers - which I do. My husband (who has man-fingers) also had a play with it and says it's no worse than the average Blackberry. The keys had a nice firm feel and the rounding and spacing means it's not likely that you'll end up mashing multiple keys together.

It is seriously tiny



I need to wait for it to finish charging before I can have a serious play with it - but so far - I'm totally besotted with it.

x10 mini pro, tiny. Dell streak, huge.
its great to see handset manufactures and carriers finally giving people a real choice over what type of phone we want to use and not just sticking to what they think we want.
That keyboard looks quite good too, nice spaces between keys for such a small form factor
