Also, i have been told its pretty slow...is this true?:S

it's pretty brand new, had no advertising yet.
you'd be hard pressed to find many users.

Good point :)
im hoping to get it on contract if i can get it on my dads card...but he already has 2 contracts on that card with are £35/month each...so may have to goto PAYG :S

[Casanova]

if he got them on two different networks he'd be fine.
if he got both more than six months ago, he's fine.
if he has a fantastic credit rating, he's fine!

as long as he pays his bills, it doesn't matter.
Most retailers allow 2 contracts per every six months.

Personally, I have six.

[Kieron]

there both orange contracts, and mine would be a third, they started 2 years ago, but got renewed 2 weeks ago

[Casanova]

orange would most likely give him two contracts if he wanted.
unless he's missed a bill within the last six months, they'd give him one.
if he missed one within the last three months, he'd get none.

ooo...mam just said i can do it on here card as long as i give her the money in advance, kerching sorted ;)
i really like the look of that phone but im going to wait for some reviews before i get it xD

[Casanova]

I've had a good look and go of one, I really enjoy it.
Their android over-lay is extremely polished like HTC sense 3.0 is; it's really nice and smooth.

I'd go for it personally.

[Kieron]

I was looking at HTC phones but i dont like them...due to everyone has them, and i dont like touchscreens, i know the xperi is touchscreen but also has a slide out qwerty pad :P
+ thanks for help i +rep'd you :)

[Casanova]

Thank you, kind of you to do so.
I use a HTC. They're indeed fantastic, reliable phones. They are a tad over-priced but keep in mind all of their mid line range (and some bargain basement!) at least meet most iPhone specs. They're fantastic value.

For a nice little pocketrocket, you've chose a good phone, fast, enjoyable, versatile, smooth, reliable.
The great thing about the Xperia range's overlay - UXP is more open for upgrades. A major issue for the starting line such as x10, x10i x10m was that they were complex to work around. Now they've ensured that as soon as android updates, their's is ready to go (except for network branded devices).

I know htc are good...as i said dont like touchscreens :((
and i was looking at the x10 mini pro, but the xperia mini pro is better xD

[Casanova]

Yeah, even camera alone it's worth it.
I know what you mean - I miss my qwerty!

[Kieron]

I have gone from LGGW300 > Blackberry 8520 > i really cant leave qwerty its just the best hahah, and yeah
5mp camera, its dual camera, has flash etc aswell :)

My mum has the Xperia Mini Pro, it's a pretty good phone but if you want to use apps on a regular basis then I'd stay clear of it. It's a fast phone, and manages to hold its battery power.

[Jack!]

Its not new at all? Its been out a long time.

Its okay, but its a lot smaller then you expect, so its a no go for apps or anything.

[Kieron]

I will be using apps like twitter, forum runner and facebook regularly xD

I got confused by this too :P There's the Xperia Mini Pro (new) and the Xperia X10 Mini Pro (old). Still, the screen is a bit too small for Apps so best to get something bigger :P

[Kieron]

I understand its a small phone, it fits in the palm of a adult hand xD, but i wont be using the touch screen much so thats not an issue, all i need is to be able to read text and its fine xD

Don't see any problem, so long as he's paid all his previous contracts on time and has a half ok credit rating. We have four contracts on one account here, used to be more till my bro moved out.

[Kieron]

I never knew you could have so many accounts i thought there was a a limit, we've just payed for a holiday next year, so cant on his but as stated above, will do it on my mams ;)
