The Sony Ericsson XPERIA Series of mobile phones took a pretty big change in terms of design and hardware factors by late last year. What was originally SE’s line of high end devices quickly became an unmarketable pair of products with the X1 and X2 Windows Mobile devices.

Hoping to bring back life to this series, SE had reinvented the XPERIA name with the announcement of the X10 and the Pureness. The Pureness was a concept art phone that delivered the world’s first mobile phone with a fully transparent display (and a very high class concierge service). The X10 was a hardware Prometheus with its 1GHz Snapdragon processor and 4 inch touch screen display (which were really high end specs when the device was first announced last year).

The X10 will finally be launched this coming March, much to the excitement of Android fans. But for the Google enthusiasts who are not willing to shell out so much cash for a smart phone, SE did not have much alternatives until the announced the XPERIA Robyn last month. The phone was quickly dubbed as the X10 Mini and gave everyone hope that a mid range SE Android phone was in the works.

The Mobile World Congress held at Barcelona, Spain last Sunday finally debuted the just renamed XPERIA X10 Mini in all of its pint sized glory. The phone is confirmed to be available in many colors (about seven to choose from) and will be available sometime this second quarter of 2010.

Two other devices debuted with the X10 Mini; the Mini Pro and the Vivaz Pro –two new SE smart phones that are similar to the original devices in terms of hardware and are equipped with slide out keyboards.
