returntothepit >> discuss >> Xperia PLAY? Looking for new phone by Arist on May 3,2011 8:57am

I'm going to be getting an Android soon but can't decide which to get. The Xperia play looked nice for the fact that it can play PS games, but the specs of the phone are dated to like 2009 compared to all the new ones, along with all the problems ppl are reporting. My friend has a thunderbolt which was pretty nice but I don't know... I'm currently using a BB curve so anything is an upgrade to this. Any ideas?

What kind of features do you NEED to have? It sounds like you're set on an android phone, what do you like about those?



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at May 3,2011 9:15am
the xperia is kind of lame and you can just play with the psxemu. Get the Samsung Galaxy s II.

Have they announced a release date for that yet in the states? I want one.

engadget just had a review so I thought that it was coming out.

The phone I need has to be on Verizon and able to connect to Microsoft Exchange, I know all of em can with the use of certificates so I'm not worried. I'm against Apple and iPhones because I'm an asshole, and Blackberries seem to be dying out. My company used to only allow BB's but there's no more restriction so I can go for a droid if I want. Other than email/calendars etc, I would use it for normal personal use.

I use android 2.2.1 on my epic 4g with exchange all the time. I test drove 2.3.3 and it as able to sync with SMS and office 2010 so you can send txts from outlook. neat, but I flashed back to 2.2.1

one thing that stinks is 2.2.1 and above, they put more policy control so that they can force you to have a PIN unlock screen. It sucks cause EVERY SINGLE TIME I turn on the screen, I have to type in that pin.

I'm looking at a thunderbolt with 2.2.1 right now and it doesn't have that, just the normal slide to unlock. Is that a setting somewhere else?

It most certainly does. you don't know policy based security?
You sync to exchange, if they have it set up, they push a policy to you phone that says "in order to sync you need a pin".
Then you have to slide the lock and then type in a pin.

No you're right, that is a policy in order to connect to exchange. The phone I was looking at had it's lock time set to 15mins so it wasn't actually locked.



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at May 3,2011 10:23am
CSB, I have that set on my phone too and every single time I turn the screen on, weather 1 second or 20 minutes, I still have to unlock it and type in the PIN.

I can deal with that I think, I'm sure it'll be annoying by week 2 though

Yeah rev, SGS2 isn't coming out for a while here due to cockblockery. I read that review, expecting a domestic release date at the end of the article. What a bunch of crap. I'm pretty much in the same boat as Arist now.

tom coocher got an atrix (at&t) no kb, but you can get a laptop dock which is what I would want it for.

I'm very used to the numbers thing.

buy some normal flip phone. then spend your money on the NGP when it comes out.
