We’ve seen the price of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play cut in the UK before, once or twice. So sure we’ve gotten used to this phone selling quite a bit cheaper than when it launched.

Just as we expected it would, AT&T’s very own interpretation of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play has now gone on sale for a pretty reasonable $49.99.

UK: Sony Ericsson Xperia Active now delayed until September 30
The Xperia Active is Sony Ericsson’s contender in the still quite small rugged Android smartphone space.

That said, these devices do differ quite a bit on raw features, so pick wisely before you [...]
Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray headed to India
Indian customers can already buy various Xperia smartphones that run Android 2.3 Gingerbread, including the Xperia Arc, Xperia Play, and Xperia Mini.
