Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 mini review: Shrink to fit - read the full textIt took a while before mobile phones became portable not only in name. At one point, small size alone made a phone something special. Calling and texting were all there was and twelve buttons were nonnegotiable...

Q1. If possible, how can one update this to the newer version of Android easily and at no cost?
Q2. Does it work easily with hotmail's email, contacts, calendar, just like messenger does? Or perhaps one is better with windows mobile?

the question is, can this run google maps 4.1.1.1 beta - which includes the maps navigation.

I know you said it wasnt on there by default but what about if tis updated from the app store???

I think I'm going to have one. It's advantages are much more than it's dises for me...cuz I was always looking for a phone covering my duties in such a small size.

Bought this phone yesterday with white and red back covers. Its very small and looks very attractive in red and white back. Rest all applications works really well except no bluetooth file transfer. Though it can be used by android after market softwares.

QWERTY/slidetype keyboard + 10 or so apps from android market and this is the best phone ever! This phone is so so compact, you will have to hold it to understand what I mean.

About the thickness, it is 16mm in the center of the phone but probably around 10mm in the edges. This makes it fit perfectaly in hour hand.

Does it support audio recording (unlimited length of voice memo & call conversation recording)? Thanks in advance.

- no video call
- the 3.5mm jack looks like it was taken directly from old Sony's walkman series.

htc tattoo is like this and a hell of a lot of your usual apps wont work on x10 mini,,developers used the usual resolution for all there development and it means extra work to get things to use the qvga res so most devs wonts bother..

Thanks, GSMArena!
But there is a little mistake I can see so far:
on page 4, the picture (on the right) above the text 'Texting Dee Dee from the X10 mini' is the same as the left one. But the link for for an enlarged one is OK.
