Announced February, 2010
by GSM Arena (Mar, 2010)Some might frown at the 16mm of thickness which is too much by today’s standards but it doesn’t really make the device unattractive.
Rated 100% by by CarrieScreen Size: The 3.7 screen size is good, but I am spoiled by the DVP's larger screen size.

Xperia X10 mini by AMT (Dec, 2011)I use it to do FB and Twitter as well as review my e-mail, the screen is a little small to actually navigate in internet but in this size you can{t have all}.
Lumia 710 by Gaz-Rendar (Sep, 2012)This allows me to view and practice my lecture ahead of time on my small screen, but all of the functionality is there.
screen resolution
Xperia X10 mini by GSM Arena (Mar, 2010)The address bar is hidden by default to save some space as the low resolution doesn’t allow too much content to fit on the screen anyway.
processor
Xperia X10 mini by GSM Arena (Mar, 2010)Anything faster than the 600 MHz Qualcomm CPU is simply unnecessary given the low pixel count.
Lumia 710 by Chris-D-Meadows--Chris-M (Nov, 2012)I know its a single core processor, but it is fast.
