Considering getting Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini
I have had my eye on this for quite a while and it's now come down a lot in price (I'm on PAYG) and upgraded to Android 2.1 which makes it more attractive than it was.
My main concern is web browsing on that small screen. I'm not going to be web browsing all day every day but I want it to be useable.
I don't mind that it doesn't have pinch to zoom as I am coming from a phone that has crappy internet without touchscreen. It's a case of whether the 2.6 in screen will do or should I get the biggest screen size that I can for my money.
I will try and play with one in a phone shop (I've watched many a youtube video but they can only tell you so much), but has anyone on here got experience of this phone and can say what they like and don't like about it, do they regret getting it? I've seen very mixed reviews.
Also can anyone advise where I might get an unbranded phone, other than ebay? I have lots of Vodafone rubbish on my current phone and do not want any on the new one but I'd prefer not to have to debrand it myself.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
