Hi, I am nagesh I have purchased Sony Ericsson xperia mini pro, but video calling is not working can you please help
love the phone …. but the only thing that i dont like is gsm video calling
This phone sucks…i can't find the options of making video calling and moreover i am a bit net freak and while surfing none of the music get download from the default browser, instead it plays online only. Some of the item after downloading automatically gets deleted and refuses to play the track. Not able to download any movies….etc. So overall the phone is disappointing.
The manual clearly says that video calling is not present, may be you should have checked that first.

Dear Vicky,
For Nokia 500 phone check ( http://www.gogi.in/nokia-500.html )
Nokia 500 : no led flash, no secondary camera. Better battery life
Xperia Mini Pro : Slightly lower display resolution and battery life as compared with Nokia 500. Advantage: Dual Camera, LED flash, HD format at 720p. touch and type with QWERTY keyboard.
price is almost similar plus / minus.. But specification wise the Xperia mini pro looks better.
