This device will no doubt be my next hand­held phone. My iPhone 3G is unbe­liev­ably out­dated, and I’m sick of iOS alto­gether, so going the Android route has been a no brainer. The only dis­ap­point­ment here is that the phone is actu­ally not too pow­er­ful. It has a sin­gle core 1GHz proces­sor, and with multi core proces­sors com­ing out right now, its a bit under­whelm­ing.. But the way I look at it, is that the need for more horse­power on phones is purely for the pur­pose of video games, and if I got one of the new phones with duel core chips that do NOT have the slid­ing out con­troller, then I’d barely play those games any­ways, so whats the point? Sure, there are a few games that are fun that are only touch screen, but there haven’t been many that I’ve been a fan of. I guess since I was a hard­core fan of Nin­tendo and Sega grow­ing up, the but­ton con­trols appeal to me sig­nif­i­cantly more then touch based con­trols do. Emu­lated games on this thing is going to be fan­tas­tic =D

Also another pos­i­tive is that Sony states the bat­tery life will last 5.5 hours dur­ing game­play — which is fan­tas­tic. It could be pos­si­ble that Sony pur­posely did not include a duel core proces­sor and a super beefy graph­ics card so that the bat­tery on the phone could last a decent amount of time. I know some of the smart­phones out there die pretty quickly while play­ing games, which is not handy when your portable gam­ing device also acts as your pri­mary com­mu­ni­ca­tion device. Another slight dis­ap­point­ment is that it does not have a NFC (Near Field Com­mu­ni­ca­tion) chip, although I’m not too wor­ried about that. Once the adop­tion rate by stores and other devices of NFC is ade­quate, then it’ll be time for an upgrade any­ways! Until then, I will be very happy with a phone that is at least as pow­er­ful as the iPhone 4, with a Playsta­tion con­troller, and Android 2.3!
