You may be thinking while reading this ‘Hang on this all sounds a bit familiar’ well that’s because it does, only recently have there been rave reviews about the ‘younger brother’ of this rather new Sony Ericsson handset. The new Xperia X10

Mini Pro has one glaringly obvious difference to that of the Xperia X10 Mini, it has a slide out QWERTY keyboard.

For those of you that want the latest mobile phones then this one certainly is one rather new, snazzy handset! If you are one that likes to compare mobile phones then I wouldn’t bother comparing these two as there is very little in them other than the obvious name addition and the new slide out keyboard. Both this handset and the Xperia X10 mini are exactly the same size as each other even though the new ‘Pro’ model has a slide out keyboard and a removable battery and the normal one doesn’t. For those of you that are quite finicky about how ‘professional’ your phone feels then with the added weight from the keyboard on the ‘Pro’ version of the X10 mini then you may argue that it makes the handset feel a bit more ‘sophisticated’.

Now rarely will anyone get a free mobile phone and the same goes for the Xperia X10 mini Pro on contract. You will have to pay a nominal fee for the handset as phone companies will be looking to pull in as much as they can from the sale of these phones. So expect to be parting with some cash, albeit not much, but never the less you will be spending.
