I was fortunate enough to receive a review unit of the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini handset today so I thought I would share my unboxing with you guys.  This phone, like its older brother, has yet to find its way stateside but Canadians can look forward to it before long. Right away I will say that the device is small, very small.  In fact, the entire body of the X10 mini is smaller than the viewable screen on an EVO 4G.  Nevertheless, there is likely a niche market for this little guy.

The specs put the phone in the thick of today's mid-range Android offerings.  The 600MHz processor,  3-megapixel camera, and 2.6-inch screen are a nice blend of power and petite.  Handing the phone to my wife, her first instinct was to try to slide it open for a QWERTY.  It's definitely not designed for a texting/emailing junkie.  However, the form factor makes for a great weekend phone for the ladies.

Look for a full-on review once I get a chance to spend some quality time with the X10 mini!
