This was tested on a XPERIA X10 Mini Pro Running Eclair (2.1)
1. Root your phone. (Install the app z4root from the market and do a permanent root)
Here is z4root.1.3.0.apk

2. Install the 'barnacle' app, from the market as well. If you have trouble finding it use the code below (or click to download the apk)

Give-up on Barnacle & z4root. Installed the PdaNet tab, works perfectly on bluetooth between my SE Xperia X10 mini and my tablet PC.
