      I''m having great fun with this phone.

      Too bad you don't have native video calls. You'll need a data plan or a wifi connectionm to enjoy video calling, which doesn't come cheap.

      Other than that, there's nothing you can reproach here: wifi, gps,camera with flash, hot swapping cards, quick response and, of course, a very exciting gamepad which allows you to play many fun games of all genres.

      Plus: Gamepad / versatility/large array of functions / no lag
      Cons: No native video calls

      Recommended: yes!

                      In the specifications it's written that the glass isn't scratch-resistant. Does it scratch easily.? And also can I install Windows Live Messenger from the Android market.? Cuz I read somewhere that in Xperia phones Windows Live Messenger does't work. :\ If it does can the front camera be used while chatting in Windows Live Messenger.?

                              It's a pity that Sony keeps trying to sell both phones and portable players with (Android) phone-like specifications.
                              That's why Sony's MP4 players cannot make phone calls and phones won't have radio.
                              That's capitalism for you...

                                Anonymous, 18 Feb 2012Which phone is better xperia play or apple iphone 3gs 8gb. ... moreTry before you buy!

                                Whenever choosing consumer goods, I try to read (unbiased) reviews from different sources, visit different shops and - if possible - talk to people who've purchased the gadget I'm planning to buy.
                                Hands-on experience is vital, as it allows you to experience the product and see if it fits your needs and expectations.

                                I have never had an Iphone, so I won't comment on its pros and cons.

                                The Xperia is fun and useful: it has got everything you may wish for (except for video calls, which is a BIGdisadventage IMO), and has a strong support user-community.

                                Good luck with your choice!

                                    For those in the UK, this phone is only £149 in o2 stores, for 8gb version. £199 for 16Gb. Both on payg. Guess they are clearing stock:)

                                        Take a look at sony's new new walkman Z-series player specs:

                                        "This Device will have 4.3 Inch(800×480) multi-touch display,1 GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 Dual core Speedy processor, GPS, 16GB internal memory,which will run on Android 2.3(Gingerbread) and full access to the Android Market."

                                        It just doesn't make phone calls! ;)

                                        I also think it's a pity not having radio on this phone. But the thing I miss the most (which I had on my old se phone) is "native" video calls.
                                        Having a front camera and not being able t make video calls without a data plan is really a pity and a waste of (paid for) hardware.
