Excellent rapidfire gameplay, Intuitive user interface, Physcial controls better for gaming than the usual touchscreen, More games than the Android Market, Good quality audio

Gaming pad is well designed, Sony Ericsson's take on Android has some nice features and is easily compensated where it lacks features, battery life when gaming is pretty good
Gaming delivery is a little disparate, screen needs to be brighter, it really needs some exciting gaming titles, video capture is unnecessarily poor
