Sony Ericsson Xperia mini review: Small is the new big

Sony Ericsson Xperia mini review: Small is the new big - read the full textIt comes in a small package but has power to spare. Lovely little phone, assuming you can keep up with it. The Sony Ericsson Xperia mini is a full-fledged smartphone and you’ll need to be at ease with its multiple identities. But it’s not moping around...

hi,i have sony ericsson xperia mini which is now 1 week old.after using it i have some problems.before buying it remember these.....
-its battery is worse,the bravia engine and the auto syncing will drain the battery.mine was not even lasting 1day.then,i turn off the bravia engine option,lowered brightness,turn off the auto sync,uninstalled and stopped the background running apps and now my phone last over 3 days in standby and 1and half days of moderate usage(consider as over moderate usage).
-next if u are a musid lover then its loudspeaker dissappoints you.sound is below average in loudspeaker but,very good in headphones.
And there is no heating problem to my device.
So remember these before buying it.

Stay away from this phone. I had it changed TWICE due to the overheating issue. Finally gave up and chose a Live With Walkman instead. They should list under it's features: can double as a clothes iron. :D

Best Solution is just go SONY ERICSSON SERVICE CENTRE & told over heat problem. They Installed a calibration software and format and new OS is installed
JUST ENJOY THAT PROBLEM NEVER COME AGAIN

I have this phone for 3 weeks.
Comparing to the 3.5 X10, its seems way much smoother and faster.
It can handle the same games and apps better.
The loudspeaker is louder, the display is much crispier and with excellent visibility.
The touchscreen is far more responsive. The GPS, is at least as accurate.
Unlike the previous mini, this mini made no compromises to performance.
As i use 2phones, i cant have 2 bricks and i appreciate the smaller dimensions.
The big brick is ideal for my multimedia, browsing and GPS needs, but the small one has turned out to be my primary!!
Hopefully more companies will follow this example and start offering the edge of tech, in such a compact size.
If one doesnt need the Galaxy s2 size screen, either because he carries another brick, pad or laptop.
He should have the option of currying such a mini wonder, without compromises in performance (because these compromises do matter in everyday music, from text messaging, to gaming)
