gaming performance should be great given the processing power. your best alternative would be Defy

Ya, my cousin is considering this phone, as his main requirements are qwerty keypad and video calling. So anything I need to know about this phone??

I took a look at XDA, but it seems that no Custom ROM's are available for this phone.

So do you guys recommend buying this phone??

Sorry, he can't up his budget, and this is the only phone that meet his needs.

takes about a month for ROMs to start appearing. also depends if the ROM & kernel source are revealed. else no ROM.

Ya right I'm talking about Mini Pro. So you guys are suggesting to avoid it. Thanks for bringing the problems in to my notice. I'll surely notify my cousin about these problems.

Yup it is advisable to wait and see what Sony Ericsson does about this issue:)

Meanwhile my cousin got his budget increased unexpectedly by about 10K so he is going for the SE Arc!..he may consider selling the mini pro after he gets the replacement:)
