   I've been interested in this phone/handheld hybrid since I heard the early rumours, so far all the complaints I've heard include;
   -Dim screen
   -Divided game market (that should be fixed when PS Suite arrives)
   -Low performance
   -Lack of 720p video recording (although it's technically capable of it)

   I personally don't believe that the lack of a dual core processor would cause many problems in the near future, or at least for the length of a regular contract, we've all seen what the PSP is capable of & the Xperia Play is much stronger, probably still stronger than the 3DS so I think that kind of proves that it's specs shouldn't be a deal breaker.

   Personally from the look of things, if SE & SCE can deliver something amazing through PS Suite like a plethora of PSOne & hopefully PSP & even PS2 games, it could very well be like bourbon; Gets better with age.

   Anyways, I'd like to hear from some of you guys if any of you have gotten any hands-on with it, I don't think that it's even started being shipped to Aus yet so there's no way I can get hands on time without importing.

   Like many wines, many bourbons don't age well at all...

   I saw a demo of one. Looks like a fully capable smart phone. In other words. I don't see you losing any key functionality you would miss, had you gone with a traditional smart phone. So at a very reasonable price range, you get a smart phone / pspGO (with much more potential grant you). I don't see a down side to it. Managable size. Good weight. Huge potential. Hell, if all this stupid rumors are true about phone gaming killin consoles... you would be one step ahead of the curve with this phone. Sort of like the NGP will be, Sony tried to make the architecture easy for developers to port to. Means that with decent consumer backing, many companies could easily make a profit putting games on this bad boy.

   Phones 4 U told me there selling like hot pan cakes, the Arc not so good apprently.

   I like how the phone sits in your hand its nice to hold, havent had my hands on a working model yet though. I want to get best deal possible, don't really want to spend over £30 a month, i think virgin might give me a good deal seeing as i'm VM customer

   I'll be willing to switch providers for this phone, as long as I don't have to pay over $50 per month. I'd rather $30 but that seems out of the question for a new phone, heck the lowest priced iPhone 3GS is at $34 I believe..

   I have the phone and I really enjoy it, I still haven't bothered to play any of the games I got with the phone. But the fact that the "Controller extension" is there really helps when playing let's say...SNESoid (SNES Emulator).

   Looking forward to trying out the N64 Emulator when it comes out again, and it'll prolly be awesome when Sony releases the PS Suite :)

   It's overall a really good phone, it's like a normal Android phone but with the Controller and PS Suite support, nothing more special to it really.

   I've never had a good experience with a SE smartphone, really. But this phone seems a bit different since we also have sony backing them up.

   I might pick one up maybe next year or so, because right now they are kind of out of my price range.
