I got this phone for $105 from a closing Sony Store. It's been more than worth the money I've spent. It replaced an Atrix. Even having slightly lower specs this phone has been faster, smoother and the UI is more functional.
It's great because it can play Playstation games. =]
As I write this, the Play is a year old device. But while shopping for Phones for other family members, My Son just drooled all over it, so we got it for him free on contract for Christmas. I am very surprised how good of a phone it really is. The reception and call quality is just amazingly good. I would almost recommend it for anyone who makes a lot of calls. It truly is that good. This is a solid built device, and seems really high quality. The screen also is very nice for as old of a device as it is.
Of course, the main point is the physical keypad for gaming. There is a very familiar layout for anyone with PlayStation experience. It comes preloaded with 8 games, but really they are just icons. You need a WiFi connection to download these and the other games that are specific to this device. There is a good selection of games for the Play. Of course, all Android options are open to you. You HAVE to have a memory card though. There isn't enough internal memory to do anything with. I am not super impressed with the internet experience or Sony's UI. Neither is horrid, but neither is great.
