Think of a nice smartphone you can buy. Let's say HTC Evo 4G, iPhone 4 or Nokia N97. And don't forget the Sony Ericsson elite. Let's talk about the X10 mini for now. You like it? Cool. You want it? Nice. You will have the option to purchase it in UK from various carriers, like O2, T-Mobile or Orange. Carphone warehouse is selling the device for free (!) with monthly plans starting from £15. The mini can also be bought for £249.99 off-contract, but you will probably prefer to purchase it with this offer.

The first Android phone from the Sony Ericsson series is the X10, while the X10 mini is a version that brings up the same features, but the handset is not so big. It's just the same thing with Nokia N97 and Nokia N97 mini. It's powered up by a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, packs 384 MB RAM and has Bluetooth, aGPS and Wi-Fi.

The phone can be bought on free from Carphone Warehouse and this offer is only available in the UK with Orange, T-Mobile, O2 and Vodafone.

There's a new Android device on its way to the market. And it looks promising. The ZTE Blade was spotted for the first time last february, at the Mobile World Congress, but we didn't found out too much about it back then. The device is called "Project JAL" and we have now some early specs about it. It will run Android 2.1 and will feature a 3.5 inch 480x800 capacitive touch screen. It seems the screen will be an OLED one. The camera is going to have 3MP. The device looks promising enough, but we don't think this is going to be very cheap.
