[Q] Difference in PLAY models? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey peeps!
I just bought a brand new network unlocked Xperia PLAY (R800i)
Just wondering what the difference is between R800a, R800i and R800x models?
Cant wait to receive this phone (and yes im more excited about the PLAY than my GS2 lol)

Diffrent radio frequencies. The R800x is the CDMA Verizon model.

Yes, but I think you need a LT15i or LT18i to have 3G working in India.

Baseband questions.

Hi guys & girls!
I have a R800i from Europe. I am using AT&T, but I don't get neither 3G nor 4G, only EDGE. I recently got the beta 4.0.3 from SONY ERICSSON developers site. Is there any was I can use a baseband from AT&T PLAY 4G and get atleast 3G?
Please HELP!!!

No man...... im really sorry but this is something related to hardware, the only way you can get 3G is with a r800a or r800at

[Q] Xperia PLAY 4G AT&T - Will it work on T-Mobiles 4G HSPA+?

I am considering getting a Xperia PLAY 4 AT&T for when my contract ends with Verizon. I aw the new T-Mobile plans that were announced on July 1st and am considering going with them, as they have a new plan where if you bring in your own phone their services are really cheap. Anyway, my question is if anyone here is using the AT&T PLAY on T-Mobile in the US if they can tell me how good is the HSPA+ with T-Mobile? I thought I have seen somewhere that TMo and AT&T share the same frequency for HSPA+. Can anyone give me there feedback on this? Thank you in advance.

Edit : I read your post wrong at first. I know my r800a is carrier unlocked and will work for both att and tmobile. But I havent used it yet, If I do though, I will be sure and let you know!
Hate to revive an old thread but wanted to let everyone know I switched from VZ to Tmobile last night, and I am getting 7mbps down 2mbps up on my unlocked AT&T xperia play.
All in all I am very happy.
Kinda off topic but whats the model for the play 4g as I looked it up and could not find it...wouldn't be different then the r800a/i/x/at or is the at the 4g version?

Its AT&T's xperia play (R800at) they call it the xperia play 4G because it has the HSPA+ frequency. So not really 4G, more like 3.5G.

Huh..... I wasnt aware the R800a was also HSPA+ capable.... is the R800a from Rogers in Canada? Because if memory serves me right Rogers uses the same frequencies as AT&T.
I belive the a is for Latin america

The "r800A" and "AT" are pretty much identical. I think the "A" was just sold outside the US. You could get an R800A and flash the right TA file to it and use it on AT&T.

I have an R800a on t-mobile but the hspa is super slow for me, has the big H symbol but its exactly what I expect running edge, something must be wrong, is 120-150 kbps on hspa normal?

Xperia Play R800a - Australia?

Would a r800a model work in Australia?
Yes.
