Small, stylish, remarkably well

First, a few words about the Chancellor-Nokia. The E71 is processed supergut, beautiful, easy to understand, robust in use, and highly versatile. I order two years countless SMS sent, read emails, set GPS markers, and create note files. The battery capacity is ne force. So a very fine cell phone, of course, with some very serious errors. Such as: the display dust (a forum known deficiency). The camera is lousy. And the Dateiabgleichung is miserable for Apple users.

So I wanted to have a cell phone that makes good pictures, standard applications such as email and GPS does not difficult, and a problem-free and Terminsynch Adressensynch allows. The iPhone I found interesting because of Telekom binding - if I got sausage only at Telekom, I'd be a vegetarian. So, Android? Yes, Android!

I do not need Zenhtausend Apps and Surf not much mobile. Since enough a small screen. It is great that the Xperia has a keyboard, although it is a little rickety-creaky. Is still very everyday relief. The camera takes good pictures. The Datensynch runs magically well. The HMI is quite clean and understandable, much better than the old Quark Symbian. The build quality is not bad - of course, are an iPhone more ago, and my Nokia, but it must be at its best do not always. The touch screen is a bit "slippery", not as comfortable as the iPhone, but still compelling.

And the much maligned battery power? After a few charging cycles I can name one example. Yesterday set off at 7 clock, been all day on appointment and not much used the phone. Phone about 20 minutes, 10 SMS sent and received, for 10 minutes uses the Maps function, three photos shot. Today, after 27 hours: 58% battery capacity remaining. So you can make do with the battery, if you turn off the luxury features and to use them only to reserve.

So when there is no power outlet is in prospect and not a USB port for charging, then the WLAN, GPS, traffic and off UMTS. This has been going, if you will.

In conclusion: I find the value for money of the Xperia X10 mini pro very good. Gibts for less than 250, - Euro a better phone? I do not think so.
