What considerations led to this phone? Since my apple products are simply too expensive and too much unjustified "hyped", you end up quickly with Android. As I also previously been Sony-Ericsson phones took advantage and hoping to just take over by another product of this company my contact, the decision was made. The X10 is me simply too large, only on a touch screen without keyboard to trust (it's finally my first touch screen mobile phone) was too tricky to X8's I did not want to wait (which is also not there with real keyboard). So the X10 Mini Pro remained.
The first impression is very positive: quality workmanship, beautiful piano lacquer finish, the keyboard jumps without Hakeln on good and. The slide-keyboard keys are also good to use with large fingers and by an easily perceptible pressure point can be written very quickly.
However, the acquisition of data from the SIM card from my old phone was not working quite properly. Although the telephone numbers and the names of the contacts are transferred without problems, only duly stored in my old Sony-Cell birthdays were suppressed when porting. This one must therefore submit again. The old mobile phone as well as the X10 also offers the ability to assign the phone numbers and so on the Attibute Mobile, Work, Home. These were also suppressed in porting and must be re-entered. Well, both phones also work eventually with another operating system.
The use of mobile phones running without problems. Whether one enters texts classically via a virtual numeric keypad with T9 predictive text software or via the extensible Tatstaur does not really matter; both works perfectly. The touchscreen responds very precisely and quickly. What we must not forget is that the X10 Mini Pro has only a fairly small screen; pressing virtual buttons (except Zahlentatstatur) therefore do not always work out quite properly, as you fast times next typed, especially when you are on the Internet and want to click small links, you already tried that one time or another, until you come to success , A downloaded from the Android Market Mahjongg game I uninstalled quickly, because you simply not able to click the right small stones.
The Log in Andorid Market was done quickly. Anyone have a Google Mail account (is to use the Android-Markets necessary) which is headed by the phone through the registration procedure. At the end of one of the market is open. Since the phone has a very small screen, one is not any product of the Android Markets available. What I have seen, however, was already endless. Applications Opera Mini on German-English dictionaries and Navilösungen to play without end. Much also free. The Browse worth it.
Surfing the Internet is not really a pleasure, but that it should be clear to one already before buying the phone. The screen is just small: Either one sees only "dead bugs" on the screen or you're constantly on the back and forth of the image in order to perceive everything on the website. Those looking for a small mobile phone, must make concessions here halt. The connection via my domestic WLAN was certainly never a problem. But watch out, who wants to conclude a data contract with its provider, has in the use of WLANs good care: the phone quickly replaced by the Wi-Fi for Internet use on the provider, if the signal strength of the wireless network is too low (I'm on my next statement curious).
The menu system is easy to see through and who already been called a cell phone his own, will have no problems here. Sure, each menu is structured differently, but the points are clearly described and therefore can be found quickly on basic phone settings, Internet usage, the manual inputting of a own ring tone, etc. The ... no problem.
If the phone hung via USB to the computer, it recognizes it as a separate drive. A special software is needed for the connection. Copying a song or video is so ratzfatz.
The camera makes taking advantage of the built-in LED light and blurred images yellowish. What the hell. Who wants ordinary images, need to buy a decent digicam anyway. All in all, the mobile phone under the conditions shown a good impression and is highly recommended.
