MWC: Sony Ericsson's Xperia X10 mini – the Xperience in a pocket-friendly size

The same but smaller: Sony Ericsson have compacted their Xperia X10 into a palm-sized Xperia X10 mini measuring 83 x 50 x 16 mm.

It’s a nice move that should see the phone fit a bit better in the pockets of SE fans. There’s also a sister version the X10 mini pro with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

The Xperia X10 prided itself on how customisable the user experience is: and the TimeScape feature lets you create a mash-up of feeds from a whole variety of different places: texts, facebook alerts and emails all in one stream

The interactive music player also uses the “infinite button” to pull together all music content from the music store and YouTube™ – a smart way to search for new tracks from a favourite artist.

Other nice features include a video and camera light to go with the 5 megapixel camera, there’s also autofocus.
