i had a chance to play with the Sony Ericsson XPERIA Play today , and wow is it something, from the front, it doesn't feel like a 4inch screen in my opinion, but boy do you feel the heft of the device, it weighs a tonne and you really don't expect it if you just see it, but the one thing i have to say is how dim the screen is, i mean i changed it form auto brightness to the highest because i was in the sun at the time, but damn its dull , i mean the resolution seems high enough at FWVGA (854x480) but at the 4 inches the pixels are so spread out , so the picture doesnt look as crisp as it would on say , an Orange San francisco (ZTE Blade) which has a WVGA OLED panel so 800x480, but its a 3.5 inch screen so the pixels are closer together, resulting in a crisper picture. all in all i think i would buy this phone if i had the money, you can get it SIM Free for £499.99 from expansys and you can get it on contract ,check these comparisons at the carphone warehouse http://bit.ly/eZ...
