Emulators are eating into SE's revenue to be honest.

Yep. The play is so overpriced it relies solely on the whole Playstion Branding as an excuse for a mediocre camera/yester year processor/cheap materials/poor battery life/mediocre screen.
While the arc is a good £80-£100 cheaper, has nicer design/best in class camera/excellent screen/mediocre processor/cheap materials.
But we'll forget about the last two
.
BTW the Play review is up on mobile-review.com
Currentley reading it, so far I can tell he will be disappointed....... rightly so.... unless SE drop the price by at least £100.
Pretty please Sony

The camera is far from mediocre, the pictures I have taken are rich and sharp and about what you would expect from a 5.0MP camera. No complaints there apart form the need for more camera settings - hopefully these will come with a further update.
Another gripe I have is that the back cover scratches easily and seems to attract a lot of gunk, even though I clean it with anti-bacterial wipes. I don't want a casing as I don't want the phone to be fatter than what it already is.
Otherwise, the OS is blazing fast, the screen could be a bit brighter but it is in no way unusable and the gaming, which is what the phone is all about, is excellent - there is more entertainment packed into this phone than any other and that's a fact. When the screen flips up and the keypad comes out to play a whole new world is before you as far as gaming is concerned.
The graphics are none short of excellent. The difference with Turbo Fly 3D on the Play and the X10 is really noticeable with it looking a lot smoother on the Play.
There is no other phone like it out there - it's very unique and I hope SE support it with more games - it seems they have a lot more planned for this phone.
It hasn't launched in the US yet so there is plenty more content and promotions in store for us no doubt.

Having found the service menu I noticed the option to turn HDMI on, which I was surprised to see, as it's not listed in the official specs.
Does anyone have such a cable to see if it works? Thanks.

What phone is ever perfect eh?? I think if they had made it with a finger print resistant surface but one that was also good for gripping it would be perfect. If they made a smooth surface on the phone especially at the back it would make the phone slippy when playing games
They should have made a mat finish

Yeah, that would have been much better. I'm really paranoid about dropping the thing because its so slippery but I've got a wrist strap attached anyway so minimise the prospect.
I've on the SE product blog that the HDMI port is on the motherboard and that it might come with a future update. Here's hoping that comes - along with some more camera settings and other improvements.
