Nokia's pledge to keep Symbian alive and well has been tested with the Windows Phone 7 announcement, and the Nokia X7 is the first device since the shift to launch with the original platform.

The Nokia X7 features a large widescreen 4-inch screen, and comes in at less than 12mm thick - not the thinnest on the market, but certainly pretty svelte with rounded edges.

However, it still feels pretty chunky in the hand (although that could be partly down to the fact we've been using the ultra-thin Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc for the last few days). The metallic chassis feels premium enough though, and will win over one or two admirers.

Sony Ericsson Xperia mini

Sony Ericsson has recently updated its X-range of Android phones to Android 2.1, so we've revisited our X10 Mini review now we have the new (ish) Android 2.1 on it.

It seems a little odd to be reviewing Android 2.1 as if it's a new release when we expect Android phones to arrive with 2.2 or higher these days, but it's still a welcome update for Sony Ericsson's tiny little telephone. Obviously the hardware is still the same – click through to the later pages to read about the software enhancements now on offer in the 2.1 update.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini should be nothing more than a shrunken version of the Xperia X10 – but in reality it's a whole new phone that gives Android a complete makeover.

Oh yes, it's small. Sony Ericsson isn't joking when it says the Xperia X10 Mini is the same size as a credit card. Obviously it's a lot thicker, but the overall size and weight of the super-small Android phone is about equivalent to a packet of Swan matches. It is tiny.
