    Anonymous, 18 Feb 2012Which phone is better xperia play or apple iphone 3gs 8gb. ... moreTotally different type of device, PLAY indicates games, 3gs is old technology. X Play is a heavy device, but very good, has ICS planned update. Choice is yours, doubt you could find two distinctly different devices though.

          Too bad it doesn't support video calls out of the box.
          Skype and Gmail are not a solution, I'm afraid. So, unless Android 4.0 supports it, many people will keep away from this otherwise versatile, really fun phone.

                  I'm simply amazed on how good the battery life is for this device.
                  It can get me through a full day with at least 3 hours of hardcore gaming and still have juice left in it.
                  I used to have a SGS and HTC HD2, neither had battery life close to this.
                  Of course, you'll need to install a custom kernel, like DooMLorD's and install some tweaks, but it'll pay off fast.
                  I've got this "Playstation Phone" overclocked @ 1.6GHz since day one.
                  Got all my nice Playstation games on it with FPse, an emulator you WILL want to buy.
                  Don't be scared by the 400MB internal memory, use Amarullz's app2SD and you can use any size of ext partition to replace your internal memory.

                    alfonso99, 14 Feb 2012i own this phone for 3 month.. want to ask if we root our p... moreYes. You may update a rooted phone.
                    As far as Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)there aren't many certainties, yet.
                    You'll be able to update any phone whether it's rooted or not, but you may end up loosing administrator privileges ("Root"), which means you'll probably have to go through the process (once it's available for ICS phones)once again.
                    Bravia engine software mods are only available to rooted phones and - apparently - are only noticeable when watching video.

                            This phone is full of potential and still has plenty to offer.
                            We shouldn't be always expecting the next model without taking full advantage of current models.
                            The Xperia Play is a game-oriented phone that deserves more and better games.

                                  really a good phone. I had it yesterday and its great, but the battery is easy to get low.

                                    Amazing phone. Simply one of the best. I´m just in love with it. Sony Ericsson and Android are a good choice. For this price level you can´t find anything better.

                                      I can't understand why this phone is so underrated.
                                      It's original, it lets you play like no other and it isn't as overpriced as some Apple's, Samsung's or HTC's euivalent models.
                                      The concept behind the Xperia Play is both fun and original making it a phone that isn't similar to any other.
                                      In a grey world where all phones seem to imitate each other, the Xperia Play was a groundbreaking innovation that I believe should be recognised and praised as such.
                                      Otherwise, consumers will keep on accepting more of the same, allowing manufactureres to "do new with the old" and getting obscene profits from it!

                                        what firmware does it use? is it the same with the normal psp's? does rpg games work? do i need to have a custom firmware to use iso/cso games? does it lag?
