Sony Ericsson has announced the Xperia X10 mini and X10 mini pro, compact versions of Xperia X10, which will deliver application packed mobile phones into the industry.

Xperia X10 mini and X10 mini pro with slide out QWERTY keyboard offer an open and intuitive communication entertainment experience and build on the human curvature design philosophy debuted by the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. Combining the Android platform with signature applications and a customisable UX platform, the two sister mobile phones incorporate the signature application Sony Ericsson Timescape which brings all communication together in one place so users can see at a glance text messages, missed calls, and Facebook and Twitter updates, without having to open lots of different applications. The interactive music player also uses the “infinite button” to pull together all music content from the music store and YouTube.

Users can pick and choose from a multitude of applications at Android Market and co-create a unique mobile phone experience. Users can go one step further and customise the home screen’s four corners and widgets to access the most needed applications.
