Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro: What’s in the box?

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro has finally landed at Recombu Towers. The eagerly awaited follow up to the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro. We’ve been waiting for it since we first had some hands-on time early this year.

Measuring 92× 53× 18mm, the handset is tiny and the front is totally dominated by the 3-inch 320 x 480 pixels (HVGA) screen, with Android controls underneath.

It’s the sister handset to the dinky Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, you can read our review here. But the stand-out feature is the slide-out keyboard – yes Sony Ericsson has managed to engineer a full QWERTY which fits neatly underneath.

Elsewhere there’s 320Mb internal memory, which can be expanded using a MicroSD card slot, you get a 2GB card in the box. Connections include a 3.5mm jack and microUSB connection, while the other side includes a lanyard connections, should you wish to hang the phone around your neck.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro is just launching now and is available in White, Black, Pink and Turquoise, which leads us to believe this is aimed at the female market.

We’ll bring you a full review as soon as possible, but here’s a quick look at what’s in the box

The keyboard doesn’t actually add much bulk to the phone. It’s just 18mm deep in comparison to 16mm for the Mini
