Uh-oh. The PR crisis detector is now off the scale. UK mobile network Three has just confirmed to VG247 that it is also delaying the official launch of the Android gaming phone until “early next week” due to the same stock issues that are hindering the Vodafone launch.
Whoopsie. This is why you should always be a little vague about dates. Three’s site is now saying April 8 for the earliest delivery of the Xperia PLAY:
We suspect tonight’s Xperia PLAY launch party is therefore going to be a bit of a sombre affair. Thanks to reader “hecatae” for additional on-the-spot reportage.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
