Compare Sony Xperia tipo vs Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini
Specs wise XPERIA Mini is a better option.

Micromax A110 is also a good option.

SE Xperia Mini is the best of the lot, but unfortunately production of the model is stopped you can get if any dealer has it in stock.
Sony Tipo is a decent ph. in the budget under 10k, with android ICS but it has some report of low voice tone.

Sam,
If you have to choose between Xperia mini,Sony Tipo,HTC explorer which one you should go for?

of all 3, mini is lot better. the UI as well as internals are way better than tipo & explorer. not to mention camera with 720p recording but is discontinued and (if available) local shops may ask 11-12k for it.

sad that the mini has been discontinued:cry: fantastic phone with awesome dev support...
and the ascend g300 is fantastic and is supposed recieve ICS soon and the bigger screen has a lot of benefits..
not that the tipo is bad at all...infact it should have good dev supprot to..
just that the g300 is more attractive for a marginally high price.and it should have iCS!!

with the launch of tipo,its senseless to recommend explorer
