XPERIA X10 mini – Unboxing

Again to follow up on a nice tradition on this blog we know have made a very short (and a bit shaky, sorry for that) unboxing video of the first commercial samples that we’ve got here to our office. As some of you noticed from the earlier videos this is a sign that the product is close to hitting the stores now.

As shown in the video there are differences in box content between markets and operator configurations.
What you see Gustaf picking out of the box should probably be in for all markets though (phone, USB-cable, charger, stereo headset, documentation).

The optional extras shown in the videos are included in some kits around the world though (e.g. we in the Nordics bundle the remote control headset MH810 and in some parts of the world they even bundle the powered stereo speaker MS450).

The box itself will also be different depending on how much accessories that is in it. The normal box will be smaller than then one in the video and look similar to the box for XPERIA X10. The reason we got the bigger box for our samples was that we got samples of all of the different color back covers included. The box shown in the video will probably only be needed for the the kits including the speakers.

When it comes to the colors of the back covers the phone will always come with black cover or white cover as default. On top of that the extra colors can be bundled in some markets. As an example here in the Nordics we have different combination chosen by different operators so make sure to check with your retailer or operator which cover is included in the one you’re about to purchase!

As usual this video is shot with the Sony Ericsson Vivaz phone in 720p HD so make sure to click show on YouTube and choose 720p to see it in full quality (even if it did struggle a bit with my unusually shaky hands from time to time in this shoot, I guess I just got excited from finally getting those commercial samples in :-) )

    It’s great to see you back in action sir! :)
    This is indeed about to hit the markets and i guess it is nothing more than a week from now! Expecting it to create a huge roar! I guess this would be mostly compared with the the HTC WildFire. ( And again the Android 2.1 vs Android 1.6 debate! ) And in my Honest Opinion, this would win many a hearts!
    All the Best for the Launch of Xperia X10 Mini!
    And I guess Mini PRO will soon be released as well. :)
    P.S.
    Sir, you didn’t mention anything about the RED Dot Award this beauty received for it’s outstanding Design. :?:
    Congratulations Anyways! :D

    Manish,
    Thanks :-) And thanks for the reminder about that RED Dot Award, we should of course do something around that!
    Also I’ve updated the post a bit now since I’ve learnt that most kits will actually not have this box but instead a box similar to the box X10 ships in. The reason for us getting this big one was due to us getting samples of all cover colors and they wouldn’t fit in the standard box. The box in the video will only be used for kits with the speakers included or if there are kits with lots of smaller accessories included that make them not fit in the standard box.

    @ anders
    Most probably, you’ll get similar zooming options in Xperia X10. The question is does the Smaller Update will have it or the one thats supposed to come out in Q4?

    hunk,
    I checked through the flood of spam now and couldn’t find any of your posts there so I guess someone else here let them through. I’ll keep looking in that flood for your stuff since that filter seems to have some strange issue with you. I hope you don’t take it personal, it isn’t on our part! :-)
    Regarding release of XPERIA X10 mini pro I can’t really give any new information than Q2 so latest end of June then, i.e. should make it to your girlfriends birthday nicely :-)

    anders,
    Regarding one touch zoom on XPERIA X10 I don’t know the details at this point but I’m sure Sumit will be back here with more information when he has anything to share. It is a very nice feature of the mini products though so I will of course forward your requests!
