Get the Xperia Pro from Ebay @ 13.8k instead

It's the qwerty keyboard version of Xperia Neo V, total VFM!

If you're talking about the SK17i, don't get the white one, you'll never be able to see the keys (white backlight on white keyboard, seriously?).

Pretty happy with mine. Battery life was pathetic to start with, now I get about 3 days' standby without wifi.

Sound quality out of the lineout (don't use cans much) is pretty good for a phone.

Screen could be better. QWERTY keyboard is absolutely perfect other than the light - nice feel, large keys and fantastic for typing unlike the BB-style keyboard on the ChaCha which is more for sporadic keyboard typing.

The dealer in question is very very reputable. It's as good as manufacturer warranty. Recommended by many others in this forum itself (that's where I found out about this deal).

And on a 3.2" screen, it's already pretty bad. I'm guessing lesser screen resolution than mine (640x360 on Nokia 5230) and smaller screen only makes it worse (Galaxy Y sucks, for example)

Mobile-optimised sites work great.

Regular HTML sites render in a very small size and are unusable.

Xperia mini pro is an awesome phone. Keyboard is great to type! Everything is buttery smooth. Display quality is good but the size is small.

Plus it got the Android 4.0 update today and i updated mine
Now its even more awesome.

Well I saw this mobile into my friend hand. It's look like a android mobile. So I suggest that to op. But it also have the best features and limited but good battery life.
Thanks to @Gauge. I know my mistake.
