Do you mean the Xperia Compact, or did they have a separate Mini line too?

I love Sony's phones, but their product naming confuses me to no end...

I 100% agree with you. Their latest flagship is named "1 II" (that's Xperia one, mark two. Someone should be fired for this).

Anyway, I was thinking of the original mini line not the later compact line. The first mini, "x10 mini", was too small to run the standard Android launcher so I would prefer the newer slightly larger "mini":

The Compact models are newer, the Mini line was popular when they were called Sony-Ericsson. Though I agree with the naming scheme issues, my first smartphone was a Xperia X10 Mini Pro[1], which was quite a mouthful.
