Dont know abt the current pricing...maybe u are confusing between mini and mini pro.
Reason:
low res screen,outdated h/w, outdated os,no s/w support from sony, small screen, non-removable battery(in the mini only)
I say drop the idea to get either. For your budget LG optimus one is the best buy. If u want a qwerty android phone check the new samsung galaxy pro. Maybe a lil over ur budget but wud be 10times better

best way to waste money. don't buy any SE Xperia mini phone or even the Xperia X8. if you want to put your cash for some good use, get a LG Optimus One. at least you won't complain about it later to yourself, forget others.

Are you sure you want to buy this now? Its so old. Sure sony has promised gingerbread on it but im not sure if the new OS will not choke this humble gadget.

get a new phone as suggested by people above.

On a lighter note i have seen people quite happy with their own xperia mini handsets.

which one? Xperia mini Pro or Xperia X10 mini pro? don't get confused. even a chinese fake won't sell this beauty for 10k. look at the specs. 1Ghz proccy, 512Mb ram & 3" proper resolution screen. it'll kick all 10k mobile out of the world if its available for such a ridiculously low price. LG & Samsung will come in footpath the very day :-D

It says Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro @9999/-. I have no idea about X10 pro. This is new to me. We are definitely talking about different models. This ones on OS 1.6 :C_perplex:

its definitely the old one. & its shipping with 2.1 now but doesn't make any difference.

^^ W8 is a 2.1 android with a 3" screen & some 128Mb ram (4 times less than Optimus One). slow processor just adds to its list of problems. and it'll certainly cost 12-13k. bad buy anyday.
