Sony Ericsson Xperia Play black

Have had the phone for over a week now and no issues what so ever. Great phone, buttons work great and was in original packaging. The only thing that took a little bit of googleing was figuring out the difference between the types of Xperia Plays out there. The R800x is the Verizon version and only works on CDMA networks. The R800i is a GSM and CDMA international phone and will work in the states with Straight Talk, AT&T, TMobile and probably any other provider that offers a SIM card option. Takes a Sim card and is the one that I got and it gets excellent service and I live in the boonies. The R800a is the American version of the R800i and will work with the same carriers, the only difference is the initial programs that come preloaded on the phone. I bought the R800i because it was a little cheaper and the phone came ready to use, got a Straight Talk SIM card from the Walmart website and it was simply to get service started. Put the SIM card in, registered the unlimited minute pack on there website and added the APN information as described in the installation kit that came with the card. I was making calls and sending texts withing 3 min. The games on the phone look amazing for a cell phone and the controls are a big step up from fingering the screen and getting your thumbs in the middle of your view. They just work great for gaming. The screen itself is 720p which looks awesome on a 4 inch screen and enhances all the games beyond what I am used to. Would recommend to anyone gamers or not. Great phone. WIll update if any issues occur. Hope this helped save you some time.

Article d'un bon rapport qualité/prix. Je suis très satisfait. C"est un bon Smartphone, idéal pour les jeux. Prise en main très rapide.

VENDITORE SERIO E AFFIDABILE ARTICOLO ARRIVATO CON LEGGERO RITARDO MA NESSUN ALTRO PROBLEMA RISCONTRATTO PREZZO DEL TELEFONO MOLTO COMPETITIVO RISPETTO ALLA MEDIA.

me encanta a pesar de ser un poco antiguo ya, me encanta la fluidez que tiene y el pad para los juego y sobretodo que es compatible con juegos de playstation.

IMPORTANT: This device is NOT compatible with 3G on AT&T nor T-Mobile in United States. The spec of the R800"i" version only support the HSDPA 900 / 2100 bands, which neither AT&T nor T-Mobile in the US support. You will only get 2G speed. The R800"at" AT&T version use the 850 / 1900 / 2100 bands. The great thing about this is T-Mobile is beginning to enable support for 1900/2100 in various area, so if you manged to get an unlocked version of the R800at you can get 3G on T-Mobile if you happen to live in one of those 1900Mhz supported location. I have owned devices like the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Nexus, I sold them and goes back to the Xperia Play because for someone who love classic console gaming there is no better choice as a phone. Bluetooth gamepads just doesn't do it for me because they're not really portable and can take time to setup. GREAT THINGS ABOUT THIS DEVICE: -THE GAMEPAD: I won't have to explain this. -DURABILITY: It's quite durable and can easily withstand 'reasonable drops'. I have less concern about accidentally dropping this device than dropping highend devices with Gorilla Glass. -SOUND QUALITY: Audiophiles might realize that there are not a lot of Android phones with great sound quality. The headphone output quality is very good and to my ears comparable to the original Galaxy S which is another Android device with great sound. -aGPS and GLONASS support: This allow it to get reasonably fast location fix and stay fixed. Its not the most accurate, but for a being an older device its very acceptable and probably better than many other devices that only have aGPS. -CAMERA: For being a 5MP camera with LED flash it can take decent photos. It's about 90% as detailed as the Galaxy Nexus 5MP camera, but is better with low light situation. It can record videos at 720p with continuous autofocus. However, there is a big flaw with the camera microphone's volume being extremely quiet. The CONS: -Performance: Even at the time of release, this device have a hopelessly underpowered CPU and GPU combination and only ~400mb of usable RAM. It might not play some newer graphic intensive 3D games, however it does support many games. "Classic gaming" is where its at for this device. -Low brightness: The LCD display have accurate color, but is not very bright so can be hard to see under sunlight. -Will eventually get dirt underneath the screen because it's not properly sealed, unless you're a very clean and careful person. -Camera's microphone: As mentioned, the camera microphone's volume is extremely low, so recorded videos will be very quiet. -Small gamepad: Not a real con, but the gamepad of this device is a bit small so people with large hands might get cramps. I found the "touchpad joysticks" difficult to use. OVERALL: Even if you don't intend to use this as a phone, it makes a very good portable music and gaming device, especially if you are a fan of classic consoles. It take decent photos and have good GPS signal. Note: I killed this device by installing a "wet-applied screen protector", which caused the phone to short out, the digitizer stopped working and other components messing up. So I recommend to be careful with water/moisture and don't use wet screen protectors with this. Also read my comment on this review for more tips.
