Some of you may already be familiar with Sony Ericsson's original Xperia X10 smartphone and its huge 4-inch screen. Although the X10 hasn't been out long, the manufacturer is now releasing two new compact versions, the X10 Mini and the X10 Mini Pro, also running on Android 1.6 (Donut).

Could Sony Ericsson be making a stand against the never-ending battle for the biggest smartphone screen? Who knows, but at least it's providing an alternative, even if the pocket format and 2.55-inch screen could make marketing the 'connected user experience' and touch-screen controls a little more complicated.

In spite of their watered-down processors, smaller batteries and compact dimensions, the X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro still look like pretty good phones. But will these new mini mobiles have what it takes to prove a major success?
