Android Gingerbread Operating System
The
Xperia Mini runs the
Android 2.3 operating system (dubbed Gingerbread)--the fastest version of
Android available for smartphones yet. It features a cleaner, more refined interface with new icons, improved top notification bar, and more intuitive navigation. Multitasking in Gingerbread allows you the ability to run more than one app at a time. If you're playing a game, you can easily switch to an incoming e-mail and then switch back to the game without losing your place. And like the previous version of
Android ("Froyo"), Gingerbread provides support for
Adobe Flash Player 10.1 for access to the full Web. A new onscreen keyboard makes it easier to type thanks to additional spacing between the keys and larger font sizes. And the more you use the keyboard, the easier typing will be as the enhanced suggest feature records previous input history to make better suggestions. The
Xperia Mini also brings one-touch access to the popular
Google mobile services you use every day. It also provides easy access to both personal and corporate e-mail, calendars, and contacts supported by
Exchange Server and
Gmail. And through
Android Market, you'll get access to thousands of useful applications, widgets, and fun games to download and install on your phone, with many more apps being added every day.

Unlocked Phone This unlocked cell phone can be used with a
GSM network service provider. It does not come with a SIM card, and it requires that you provide a SIM card for usage with your selected service provider. This phone can be paired with 800/1900/2100 MHz UMTS/HSPA 3G networks in the United States (as well as 900/2100 MHz 3G networks found around the world, including in Europe and Asia). In areas not served by a 3G network, you'll continue to receive 2G data service via the EDGE network (depending on network compatibility). Note that the downloading of maps, games, music and videos and uploading of images and videos involves transferring large amounts of data. Your service provider may charge for the data transmission, and the availability of particular services and features may vary by carrier. This phone comes with a full manufacturer's warranty (1-year).
