Android 2.3 largely untouched, Gamepad is snappy, Crash Bandicoot is still addictive

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play doesn’t have the 720p video recording ability, which now a days is standard in many of the smartphone releases.

The first Playstation Certified phone is off to a good start. The game selection is certainly the most impressive we've seen on Android, with several enticing titles, and the promise of more. We'd love to see more Sony franchise games on the Xperia Pl...
Android 2.3 out of the gate, Fast in regular Android, Good UI tweaks like folders, PlayStationlike experience in the best cases, Solid gamepad controls, Reasonably good battery life,
