I just wanted to show the community my Xperia Play, I had it for about 2 years before I dropped it on my bed and the screen cracked. Shortly afterward the main flex cable broke. So rather then trashing the phone I spent about 50 dollar to make it look and function brand new.
BTW it's not a Verizon AT&T I just chose the case because I liked how orange looks Also I don't think I've ever heard of anyone here that has an Orange Xperia Play
There were two additional colors for the UK market. A white and an orange coloring. And if your a Minecraft fan, they released a limited only Minecraft edition:
But yeah, your PLAY is looking good. I sold my VZ model last year and bought a prototype model.. that is now been replaced by a Nexus 5. I don't have the heart to sell my PLAY though.

Awesome
Where did you get a prototype model? How is it different from a regular r800i (or a)?
Its an early AT&T model. With the standard all black and silver. Zero carrier branding. Bought it on eBay a year ago for $125 to use on T-Mobile. It came Sim unlocked and boot loader unlocked

I've also bought a Nexus 5 after a along use of the Xperia Play. Are there any hardware differences on the prototype model?
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5 mit Tapatalk
None that I could find after one year of use on that play ( almost 3 years total on a XP). Its just for geekness that I bought it. Another user here at one point had a xp proto from att but it was 4 weeks newer then mine. He had a slew of issues with hardware and software. Guessing its die to whatever att was doing with it from when mine was made to when his was made. But mine works perfectly. And works just like everyone else's again except for the prototype labeling. Plus at $125 it was a good price at the time and look almost brand new.

Not a bad deal I think. Well I have put my money where my mouth is so I hope so.

I wish I had a 9020 instead of my 9023 I love amoled
I am wondering if it will be AMOLED.
I like it but am wondering if it's worth it over my Xperia Arc S?
Well on the link it advertises that it has a 4" Super AMOLED touchscreen so it should be.
Aye but I know Vodafone have been selling them as a S-LCD.

they are sim free, and amoled
Yes; this Nexus S was £199 and has the AMOLED.
Wow I might pick up one of these if it's amoled.
I'm wondering do you think this phone will last me for two years?
I'm kinda thinking I'll regret not getting a dual core phone later down the line.
I'm thinking maybe I should get a 2nd hand sensation, but the slcd really puts me off.
Cheers
I'm thinking of selling my Desire for £85, buying this for £200, then in the summer selling the Nexus S for £80ish i hope.
So my question, how big of a step up is this from the Desire? Worth the small hassle to get it for 6 months?
I bought one earlier on today (26/12/2011) and it is indeed a 9020T (The AMOLED one)
It came with 2.3.1 on it, but it didn't want to update OTA, so I had to install the updates from a thread somewhere around here on it.
Glad another friend of mine pointed them out to me, they're an absolute steal!
Same, picked up one today.
Very happy with it.

If it says sim free then why are they shipping the i9020t. Just curious. I think they are out of stock also. Is the 199 euro =259 American ?

Got one as well, flashed it to 4.0.3 already, so much faster than my Xperia Arc S
yeah i picked one up today aswell, lovely AMOLED and a bloody nice phone aswell quite frankly, mine also came with 2.3.1 and doesn't want to do any OTA updates aswell.
I'm actually in two minds about flashing to 4.0.3, since some people have reported some battery issues with ICS
I'm popping down to my local carphone warehouse today.
Fingers crossed.

The 9020t is also known as the 9020 which is the SIM free SAMOLED version originally sold in the UK through CPW. The 900/1700/2100MHz UMTS bands are used by all the major networks here in the UK. The phones aren't T-Mobile branded in any way.
yeah it is the i9020 as its the only official one in UK and I'm hoping it lasts until at least the 5th next month as otherwise I will have to buy the i9023 from amazon....

I would go with the brown device...if I had not already purchased the original white. I prefer the darker colors for some reason, but you can't always get them when you want them.
I was waiting for this and picked it up yesterday at bestbuy. Looks good. I am now officially addicted to tablets.

I just got a black brown one from Bestbuy a half hour ago, I like it way more than the white one. It has a more regal look to it. I have one question. When trying to get the $25 google play credit non of the model codes that are on the site match mine. Does anyone know how to submit it? Thanks in advance!
I talked with a Samsung rep last Friday because I was having the same trouble. He first tried to get me to register using one of the three on their site for the white one. That didn't work. He then told me to wait a couple of days. He was going to talk to someone and get the model numbers for the brown / black loaded on the site so we could register them. I just looked and they are still not listed. Will check tomorrow and if not on their will get back in touch with Samsung.

I've finally broke down and got one. I figured that since no one seems to be interested in making a 9" tablet other than ebook peeps I'd better get used to the 8". I'll still hold on to my nook hd+ though.
I've gotta stop buying phones and tablets. now I've got a 5, 5.5, 8, 9, and 2 11s. maybe I should get rid of one 11 and buy back my 10? and other than the nook they're all sammy!
And you use all of them?

i hoping the 8 replaces the 9, but i do use all the others. the one i use the mist is the 500t win 8 tab bc of the battery life. the 700t only gets 5.5 to 6 hrs where the 500t gets 12.5hrs. the 5 is my verizon s4. i still habe unlimited data so im keeping it. the 5.5 is my gnote 2 with sprint. only reason for keepung sprunt is that i have the old sero plan - $55 for 500min, unlimuted text and data plus free airave.
i had the galaxy note 10.1 but sold it and switched to win tabs for the larger screen. if the new gnote is gonna be 12in, i may switch back. or i may consider selling bith wintabs and get the ativ q. it's what i should do. 9hrs battery, 13 in screen, and both win and android... everything i need in a larger format tablet.
btw, the onscreen kb on the wintabs suck! toych interface is bad too, so i hate cirrecting typos. if it wasnt for the spen and i wouldnt have bought the ativs.
i check this item on Amazon, is this item wi fi only? because white ones N5100 with 3G Wi fi is $485
Will there ever be a black version? I don't like the white, and dislike the brown even more. According to the article below there might be a black one in the works, question is when.
http://www.androidcentral.com/leaked-image-shows-charcoal-black-version-samsung-galaxy-note-80
Just came home from Best Buy with it. The front is a barely noticeable brown and the bezel around the camera is brown-beige. Also, the body of the S Pen is brown.
Overall, it's a great looking device and I'm glad to have chosen this over white. I would recommend this colour over the white model.
got mine a few hours ago and installed civ's rom. so far i'm not finding that 8 inches is as bad as i thought it would be. far better than 7 and not as great as 9, but still pretty darn good... so far .
I just bought mine too, its waiting for me until I finish my class. Going to keep it stock

Got me a brown one too. Not a fan of white, or lighter colors in general, so the brown is fantastic!
Finally!!! Ive been wanting the note 8 but the deal breaker was the white model. White electronics always turn slight yellow after a while due to oxidation, and there is nothing u can do to get it white again. Got my brown black model today and loving it.
Do you think Oneplus One will be jacked up in price as they do with all other devices to the point that the price is no longer an advantage? I think Oneplus One will probably cost more than Nexus devices in Australia due to additional GST and demand.
They'll Jack it up, for whatever reason Lol
I reckon it will start at $400+ here unfortunately

Buy it from the USA and use a mail forwarder. Easy !

IMO, it's pretty good.. Previously using iPhone 5.. Went to school with 100% came home with about 60%.. and that's just a two hour lecture.. with about 1 hour bus ride in total.. But now with the OPO, its go with 100% come home with about 80%.. Camera wise, it's fine for me but I don't have a really high requirement considering it's a phone

Personally, I'm getting mine sent to one of my dev friends in America. But you can use a mail forwarding company like Shipito to get it here. I ordered mine (64gb) yesterday, and it ended up costing me $400AUD including standard shipping to the States. The price is a bit inflated due to PayPal's ridiculous conversation rate, which was $0.90 instead of the $0.93 it should have been. On top of that I still need to get it shipped from Illinois to Melbourne, so all up I'm probably looking at anywhere between $430 to $450 I think.
Anyways, hi guys, ours nice to see an Australian thread here.

Hey, I'm in Melbourne too - did you get yours from an invite or 3rd party store?
I'm still hoping to get an invite but am getting impatient and might just pull the trigger on Aliexpress or similar.
Which carrier are you with?

any other got same issue?
I ordered mine last night from OnePlus via an invite, waiting on it to ship
@gerardo66 - not sure what the problem is for you there. The only physical difference is the Chinese one doesn't have CyanogenMod stamped on the back.
The 4G band difference doesn't matter over here, because the 700MHz band in the international version doesn't work here anyway.

I went to buy the Nexus 7 today on the site and it was gone. Hmm so I called and the rep told me that is was no longer in the system. Said it looks like that will not carry it. So the only Android tablet the have now is the Samsung Galaxy tab 3 eww.
They will have the Note 10.1 2014 soon and likely the new nexus a bit further out.

silver lining?
I noticed that the other day - I was struggling to keep myself from buying one, since the new Nexus tablet is probably arriving in a month or 2. I'm actually sort of glad T-mobile made the decision for me.
I was really considering getting one from them. Then I saw a like new used one for 210. Score!
Well if a new nexus 10" comes out with LTE, I know I will be selling my unlocked 7"
