Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini

[Bluefinllama]

As the title suggests, I'm looking for a place where I can buy said phone. I'm in the market for a new phone and believe that I am ready to move onto Android, but I can't afford a Galaxy S3 or the likes, I've been looking around quite a bit and I believe that the Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini has everything I want and need. Keep in mind that I'm not referring to any of the pro versions or to the x10 mini. As I've already stated, I've been looking around for a while, but I can't seem to find the phone for sale in South Africa, the closest I've been able to get is:

http://digidealsdirect.com/za/sony-...15-smartphone-unlocked-no-contract-black.html
http://camerahouseonline.com/za/son...15-smartphone-unlocked-no-contract-black.html

Now, these sights are all international sites who deliver to SA. I would prefer local stock if possible.

My questions are:1. Do any of you know where I would be able to purchase said phone in SA?
2. Have any of you ever bought from said e-commerce sights and are they legit?
3. Would you be able to recommend any other similar droids at a similar price?

I would really appreciate any help in this regard.

You can get it from wantitall: http://www.wantitall.co.za/Sony-Eri...Unlocked-Phone-U-S-Warranty-Black__B005DIPROI

It is quite a bit more expensive, but at least their in SA in case anything goes wrong.

From the GSMArena review it seems like a good buy! http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_xperia_mini-review-634.php

I was actually NOT looking for the pro, I would prefer the normal version, but thanx.

Vodacom used to sell the X10 mini on their website, and I did see one at Edgards more than a year ago.

My brother bought the MTN X10 mini on his contract and is due for upgrade later this year. It's disappointing how few sony phones we get - as they are great phones

At this point in time it's going to be hard to find. The Samsung Galaxy Y / Pocket have similar specs and run a newer version of Android than the X10 mini.

After getting 'pick pocketed' I got one in December 2010 that was the pro though, at Vodacom, have you tried them? Its a really good phone.
