Unfortunately, what engadget writes about the screen in bright environments is true. It is almost impossible to see anything on the screen in bright light. No playing on the beach, I'm afraid

There was a guy on the biggest android forum here in Sweden who worked for SE. He said that the initial plan was to price play around 400euro which seems fair. They seem to have cut a lot of corners hardware wise; camera, screen etc to make it cheaper. But now they have priced it higher than arc!?
In my opinion the only way to make this a success is to sell it cheap. Also it is good to build up a large userbase, they can make money on the games they sell later.
Im afraid this is gonna be a huge letdown for SE

I spent all yesterday with the PLAY at Platform Expos, had two units and the displays were great. The level I like my X10 on (that works fine outdoors) is quite a bit dimmer than the PLAYs we're capable of.
Admittedly, next to the arc they look dull. Then again next to the arc the sun looks dull!
Engadget also said it has 400MB RAM, it's certain it's 512MB, also sure I saw that it's dual channel DDR2. Anyway, it runs a treat. Both units spent 9-5 being demoed and played with, and both worked exactly how they should all day, with very little time to recharge the batteries between people coming to look at them, they were down to 9 and 11% when we left.
The only thing that FC was FIFA10, and that didn't seem to be a final version, it had on screen controls and told you to press A and B buttons etc.
Flicking back and forth between gaming and phone usage is really seamless, a coupld of second delay in reloading, but dropping out of a game to the phone doesn't result in any lag, you're straight back as if you had never left.

The X10 screen is great in direct sunlight even.
The Arc camera and screen compared to the X10, and any other high end phone for that matter, are really only very minor improvements in the grand scheme of things .
I didn't really think I'd be gaining much that I couldn't already do with the X10 which is 'thereabouts' as good as it gets for mobile imaging.
The Play gives me 'more' to do for a change. Why argue about which phone has the 'best of a bad lot' camera when until they really launch a big mobile sensor, there is really not that much worth bickering about. As for 10 mm, 9mm, 8.7mm, 7mm thin. So what!
For Android fans, what really is there to distinguish one phone from the next? Apart from the joy of pissing all over your best mate on multiplayer games with a gamepad

Pocketnow done a little review of the phone and they mention it has a plastic screen. Is this true or not?

Nice review. They're working hard to certify more games for the Play so choice of games won't be an issue for too long.
I'm pleased to have 720p recording but would have liked to have seen a better front camera, although it's not a primary feature for me.
