Awesome! Now how much..

Display makers piss me off 1080p on a 6.44 inch screen for a phone and yet they can't innovate desktop display resolutions afford-ably?

Phones have come full circle... they started out huge and you looked stupid talking on one. Now we're back to huge and you'd stupid talking on one.

I loved my old giant Motorola handset. That thing rocked in 1989.

The new big phones are nice, but a brick battery would be a nice option to have, along with a giant rubber antennae.

ARG! Where is a new up to date Xperia Play?

We don't hear much about Sony Ericsson nowadays anymore, do we. Their market share is pretty much none.

Umm, yeah, 'cuz Sony bought out Ericsson's share and it's folded into Sony now.

I had an Xperia Arc before and that's the phone that got me hooked on Android. They make some really nice phones, and I never understood why they didn't leverage their retail network (Sony stores and other retailers) to sell their phones directly and unlocked (like Apple does).

I saw that thing at the Sony store in Costa Mesa - the sheer size of that "phone" is ridiculous. There's no way it could fit into the standard male pants pocket. You might as well use a Nexus 7 as a phone.
