Default [Q] Xperia X10 mini pro compared to the X1

I wonder if there are any current X10 users who previously used the X1? How do they compare - advantages/disadvantages?

Thank you!

I have x1 that I have used with original stock and with cooked ones.
The very big jump is from WM to Android; it is a completely new way of using a phone. It is really open, lot of application and lot of free stuff.
WM might be more linked to the professional applications of Windows. Nonetheless android will allow you to get synchronized with you office exchange server mails and contacts with no major issues
Personally I am more than happy to have done the jump.
In terms of hardware you have to get used to a smaller display and a smaller keyboard. I have used also the X10 which has a wider display but I am now happy with the mini pro. It is also a matter of what you need more from your phone.
If you take lots of photograph or you intend to watch video and films is better to go with the X10, not the mini.
If you look at a lesser priced android phone, smaller and with a physical keyboard then the mini pro is your choice

Grazie 1000!

You seem to be very happy.

Still comparing x10 mini pro with x1, would you also say

a) the x10minipro is snappier than the X1?
b) Is it easier to use? (phone is not for me)
c) What about stability?
d) Which has the better display in your opinion?
e) Better keyboard?
f) Camera on X1 or on X10 mini pro

I found the X1 for half the price of the X10mini pro, so cost also enters into the equation.

Thanks again!

Telephone is always a matter of personal preference and feelings.
I was not meant to say that the x10 is better in any field compared to x1.
When you get used to it I do not find any big difference in usage, but this is a matter of taste or habitude.
I found, so far,the x10 more stable than the X1; it is also true that I have not many applications installed but I use it as I did use before the X1.
Display of the X1 is better and this is way I consider the x1 better for video and films. Also going to internet having a bigger display is better.
Camera on x1 has more options.
Price is also a decison factor, but I believe that if you go with X10 mini is because you want to go with Android. And, besides the cooked roms, the difference between WM 6.1 and Android is abysmal.

Grazie 1000. I ended up with the X1, price+screen was deciding factor.
