Just came across this and thought I would share. Technobuffalo has been doing what they call "Guess this phone" week. Xperia PLAY was the phone for week of Sept 7th.
Nothing great but thought I would still share it, not like our phone gets a lot of attention now a days.

Anything helps at the moment.
my faith restored...not really... but I guess it's something :/

I know this is off the topic of one of the greatest phones ever...But I wanted to wish everybody a happy November the 5th and remind everybody to go watch V for Vendetta today. That is such a great movie. Have a great day.
"Remember, remember, The fifth of November, The gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason Why the gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot". But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes, and I know that, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like? We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught. He can be killed and forgotten. But four hundred years later an idea can still change the world. I've witnessed firsthand the power of ideas. I've seen people kill in the name of them; and die defending them. But you cannot kiss an idea, cannot touch it or hold it. Ideas do not bleed, it cannot feel pain, and it does not love. And it is not an idea that I miss, it is a man. A man who made me remember the fifth of November. A man I will never forget."
I'm going to celebrate 11/5 by sleeping all day, then maybe treat myself to TacoBell for dinner.
Hello all, I just wanted to inform you all that Xperia X1 is not available from SE anymore, so if your device goes beyond repair within warranty time, you are likely to get your money back or get it changed to an another phone.
This is what happened to me, my Xperia's screen and screen ribbon cable broke somewhat simultaneously. I returned my Xperia to the seller store to be checked out, and they came back to me with a letter saying that Xperia is not available anymore, asking my bank account number to give my money back.
As of this moment I am waiting eagerly my money to get a Desire HD, so thank you Xperia community, you have been very helpful!
I'm gonna send my phone in because my keyboards doubles letters as we might all have experienced...
I wonder whether the Xperia Service Center is still working here in Germany. But I suppose so...They'd never give me money for the device now. Althought that would have been fantastic. Have fun...and (in my humble opinion) wait for WP 7!
Refirbished model is the most likely thing
I bought mine last year 619€ need to get the money back lol

I guess it's official now, The X1 is now Legendary lol . To bad I don't have a warranty even though mine is still in really good condition 11 months of using it, if anything happens to it though I'm F'ed. X1 will defiantly go down in history as one of the best HD phones for WM .
2 years today since i first bought an X1! and hours and hours on the phone to customer service and 10 X1's later i still have my X1! Even though its an amazing phone it has also been the most problematic i've ever had! But i'll be keeping it until it dies again who knows how long that will be!

Lol 10 X1's later , I love this phone but if that situation happen to me I would of looked for a different phone after the 3rd time I had to return it and thank god I haven't had some of the problems other X1 users have had . But I guess there is a reason why you kept on getting the X1 after the first return.

haha yeah well, it does everything i want it too! I was offered the G1 and such but it just didnt match the look of the x1 and the WM Operating system in the way i can install and get everything i need on it! I would have happily accepted an x2 if anyone had offered it but unfourtunatley vodafone UK decided WM phone were crap and decided to not stock them anymore.
It was funny actually, when i found out vodafone was no longer stocking the x1 the dude on the phone said for me to check GSMARENA.com to see what other good phones there are out there etc. At the time guess what the top phone on GSMARENA was? the X1!

Haha that is pretty funny, to this date at GSMARENA.com the X1 is ranked 6th and by Interest it's ranked 3rd and it's the only phone from 2008( Well there is the N82 from 2007 and the 5800 Xpress Music but we all know the X1 is way better than those phones lol) at the top of these lists now that's saying something. I also found this image from phonearena.com a couple of days ago.
To me it's logic that the X1 is not available anymore. It was launched in late 2008 and had been available for almost 2 years despite the fact that it's successor, the X2, was introduced. The home electronics store of my choice here in Switzerland sold the last X1 somewhere last month.
Rachel and I broke up this weekend.
I saw it coming awhile ago, but when it happened it was faster than I expected. Rachel and I started our love affair about 6 months ago. We got along very well, but there were drawbacks to our relationship.
I remember when I first saw her, she looked nearly perfect. She was gorgeous in her sexy black outfit, and tall. But she was only 16. You know how 16 is, sexy as hell and full of promise, a bit of a tease.
I tried to introduced her to a few of my friends; Bluant S4, Vlingo and MBW-150. They liked her well enough but she didn’t fully connect to them. She wouldn't even talk to Vlingo.
There were other problems. Like the fact that she wouldn’t let me touch her multiple times (she hated when I tried to pinch her). She would tire out quickly during the day and have to take a nap to recharge.
I started thinking that I needed to maybe look around for someone older, more mature. Someone maybe 21 or 22. I started flirting with a few others, but nothing serious.
Rachel noticed, and started to make some promises. She asked me to give her some time to mature. “just a few months” she said. “just until October, please.” I waited, giving her the benefit of the doubt. October came, but she hadn’t changed. “I need a little more time”, she said. “give me until the end of the month, November at the latest, December for sure.” By this time, someone else had caught my eye.
Desire wasn’t quite as beautiful as Rachel, but she made up for it in other ways. She was more mature for one thing. She was 21, and about to turn 22. We started flirting, and went out a few times. She loved being touched multiple times, and giggled when I pinched her. She was more outgoing and got along with a lot more people. She would speak with everyone in the market, and introduced me to others that I didn't know. She was happy to meet Bluant S4, and Vlingo, and connected right away with MBW-150. She felt faster and more exciting that Rachel too.
So I took the plunge, and broke it off with Rachel. I wished her the best of luck, hoping that she will mature over the next few months. Will I ever date another Finnish/Japanese girl? I doubt it. They look beautiful, but they all seem to tease rather than please. I think I’m done with them. I’m moving on.
Am I happy with Desire? Sure. But I can’t help but feel that there is something missing. Desire’s more petite than Rachel, not quite as high class. She’s missing a few things that I loved about Rachel. Will things last with Desire? I don't know. I think that maybe she might be my rebound girl.
Desire did show me a picture of her cousin the other day. She’s in Europe right now, but might be coming to North America later this year, or early next. She even has almost the same name as Desire, with a few added initials; Desire HD. She looks hot. Reminds me a lot of Rachel. I could get into her in a heartbeat.
But for now, Desire’s my girl and we’re enjoying ourselves.
I want to thank everyone for all of the advise and help I received in this forum. The Xperia X10 was my first Android phone, and you never forget your first.
Please excuse the “farewell post”.
Good luck to all with the 2.1 update, and I hope the devs crack the bootloader so that the updates don’t stop at 2.1.
As an ex-SE fanboy, I really hope that SE gets its act together and starts listening to the dev community. However I really doubt it, which is why the X10 will be my last SE phone.
As for me, I’m moving on to the HTC Desire while I wait for the Desire HD to arrive in Canada. Cheers everyone, see you around.
I thought desire was a male

If you read this for a little it mentions playstation suite.
"Please wait for the next announcement"
OMG SONYYYYYYYYYYY CMONNNNNNN.
JUST RELEASE THE STORE OFFICIALLY EVEN THOUGH EVERYONE ALREADY HAS IT.
So I've visited a newly opened Verizon Wireless store near me and I went to check it out. They have done more to showcase Sony products right as you walk in, but today was just a grand opening and the employees are still learning about all sorts of things about the placement of their accessories and such.
Anyway, cutting to the chase, I've asked about one of the most notable problems with the Verizon variant Z3 is the absence of simultaneous voice and data. Of course most of the employees had no idea there was this issue and linked it to when the iPhone first had its issue when it came to Verizon (FOREVER AGO). They've looked into their database about the Z3v and confirmed to be that a software update will be rolled out around January 2015 to resolve this issue.
I wished I could properly show proof or link about it, but I guess it's insider company info about this. So it's not going to be 30-45 days, it's instead next year there will be a software update for it. Regardless though, I very much love my phone for its great aesthetics and quite amazing battery life. Just wanted to share the news to my fellow Z3v users so you don't have to dig it up in the one and only Z3v topic.

This was posted over a week ago.
Where at? Somewhere hidden in the one and only topic Z3v users are allowed to afford to?
Edit: Okay, I saw where it is. Although it doesn't hurt to give a confirmation announcement on a separate thread than it getting buried in one.

Appreciate it and it can be quite annoying when trying to send a message and call someone.
