Sony Ericsson Xperia Play

Pros
6 fun games preinstalled, great color rendition on display(indoors), comfortable interface, great sound quality and light weight.

Cons
Camera not as good as I had hoped, back plastic cover feels VERY cheap, no PSN support and the display is near impossible to see while outside.

Conclusion
If you want a gaming device, buy a psp go..... if you want an android phone there are many better ones out there, if you want a camera phone get the N8... However if your seeking an android phone built for gaming with an okay camera, look no furhter.

Verdict
4 (out of 5)

Feel free to write a short review of this phone model

i got this phone and the battery goes down 25% at night if you dont plug it in. the camera has good quality but no zoom. the gaming is outstanding with the 10 games that are compatible with this phone. the screen randomly stops working on mine, but i dont know if that happens with all of them. it rings and the charge light comes on when it is plugged in but the screen wont turn on.
P.S. i am writing this here and not in the review section because im too lazy to make an account, if someone else wants to take this and move it there feel free to. =)

If it's gaming you want, then get a Psp 3000 or a Psp Go. i had a Psp 1000 and an Ipod Touch and they where brilliant. Heard a lot of bad stuff on this handset anyway because i wanted one. :(
