The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro is due to launch in the UK on the 2nd July if Play.com is to be believed.

The X10 Mini Pro has now appeared on the Vodafone store where it is listed as "Coming Soon". It will probably be available on similar tariffs to the X10 Mini, which means it will be available on lower price contract options.

The Xperia X10 Mini Pro has identical specification to the X10 Mini but features a sliding QWERTY keyboard. That means it has a 2.55 inch touch-screen, 5 mega-pixel camera, 600 MHz mobile processor , microSD support and both WiFi and 3G connectivity capability.

We recently reviewed the original X10 Mini which should give you some inidication of how the X10 Mini Pro performs (click here to read).

Once we hear more about the tariffs the X10 Mini Pro will be available on and the exact launch date on Vodafone we'll be sure to let you know.
