Press release:
05 May 2011
Introducing two powerful, versatile and compact smartphones
Xperia™ mini – the world’s smallest HD video recording smartphone
Xperia™ mini pro –intuitive fast messaging in a compact smartphone
May 5th, 2011, London – Sony Ericsson unveils the new Xperia™ mini and Xperia™ mini pro, the latest additions to its Xperia™ family. Building on the success of the original mini series, these innovative smartphones come packed full of features, powered by a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon™ processor, and run the latest platform of Google’s Android™ – Gingerbread 2.3. Beautifully designed, Xperia™ mini and Xperia™ mini pro both integrate best-in-class imaging and display technology from Sony, including Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA Engine and HD video recording (720p).
The products offer a full multimedia entertainment experience. Xperia™ mini and Xperia™ mini pro enable access to over 150,000 apps on the Android Market™ and has a 3” scratch-resistant, multi-touch glass screen. The improved user interface allows up to 16 apps displayed on the home screen. Facebook inside Xperia™, a feature just announced for the Xperia™ family, provides a unique social media integration.
Xperia™ mini pro brings the optimized slide-out keyboard with smart functionality first seen on the Xperia™ pro to a compact smartphone. A subtle but fast Type & Send functionality eliminates the need to open a dedicated app for each type of message, and Smart Keyboard triggers predictive messaging actions automatically when the user slides out the keyboard. Xperia™ mini pro also comes pre-loaded with Office Suite and McAfee antivirus software, letting consumers manage documents and e-mails instantly and securely while on the move.
Steve Walker, Head of Marketing, Sony Ericsson said, “We wanted to provide consumers even greater choice across the Xperia™ range, while building on the success of the original mini series. These turbo-charged smartphones now contain even more power, enhanced functionality, a larger screen and premium features unique to Sony Ericsson. They are packed full of features, making them a perfect choice for consumers looking for all the benefits of Android and Sony in a beautiful and easy to use compact form factor.”
Sony Ericsson also unveils today a new integration, Facebook inside Xperia™, which will be included in the new Xperia™ mini and mini pro and soon to be available across the wider Xperia™ range. Facebook inside Xperia™ integrates social connections throughout the phone, by making Facebook immediately accessible from the most used areas of the phone such as the picture gallery, music player, phonebook and calendar. As people are becoming increasingly reliant on their smartphones for instant communication, Sony Ericsson is enabling people to ‘like’, share and comment more easily than ever before with Facebook inside Xperia™.

So these mini smartphones have 512mb RAM, while Pro and Neo have only 380mb? Nevermind, they look cool and I like their improved UI.  They might become the new best sellers.
The best mobile phone brand died with Sony Ericsson's death. Shame on you Sony for killing it! And, of course, for ruining the Xperia brand... Mediar's Site |

Any differencies besides size and physical keyboard between those 2?
Want a new mini pro instead of Arc.
Still have my Satio in second pocket, good enough if want big screen (awfull Nokia symbian), but no need another brick. I just love my X10mini (k850 is better, just lack of WiFi make me unhappy with that piece of art  ) |

Sweet! The perfect replacement for my Mimmi. 512mb of ram is quite impressive for these small monsters. The HD recording is a big plus which makes me happy.

It's thicker cos it is smaller plus the slider out keyboard makes it thicker. Ya gotta compromise somewhere. The older Mini Pro is not that thick anyway.
Phone?? What phone?? |

Miss the red backed option from the X10 mini pro or a green and black option a la S500 would be nice. So it'll have to be the all black.
Now the question is X10 now or mini pro when it comes out?
The X10 mini pro isn't an option because of the specs my phones last too long
I don't want a signature anymore. |

design is super! but i have a mini pro. The screen is too small for me now, and you get limited apps because of that.
So im waiting for the Xperia Pro, and hope i wont be disappointed. But i drool at the white mini pro 2...
Waiting for videos. maybe i will drop the Xperia Pro for one of these small pros. Pity it doesnt have HDMI
EDIT: baaah.. i just noticed it has touch buttons for home, more and back  Don't like that part of it.
