I noticed today on IGN they were doing a preview on the Play and the phone he was using supported landscape mode on the home screen. How is this possible? Is it because it's a new version of the software on the American phones? Here's the link:
http://www.ign.com/videos/2011/05/19/sony-ericsson-xperia-play-sneak-peak
The stock SE launcher on the Canadian and European versions looks nothing like this and doesn't support landscape so probably a custom launcher or some variant on the stock launcher.
Looks like launcher pro setup to a Froyo look.
Regards Dousan...
the verizon phone does away with the SE launcher and uses stock android. It's a lot more stock than our phone engadget did a piece about it a couple of days ago.
Also noticed that Crash Bandicoot was in the Xperia Play Launcher. Is this normal? Mine is in the Playstation Pocket app but not in the XP Launcher, so now wondering if anyone knows how to add it to that?
Did that guy say its on sale for 199?

That'll be with a contract. Your better off here (for now)
Thats the stock 2.3 launcher there~
Looks like a stock.gingerbread launcher. So I'm sure is missing the awesome Sony Ericsson arc messenger and the camera app too. Hope no but I got the feeling. Gonna go check it out

If you hold your finger on the screen (not on an icon) it will pop up a menu to select shortcuts. from there select applications then find the game/app and it will add it to your screen.

Ok, this must be a joke - I've tried holding my finger on the screen on the Xperia Play games launcher (not on an icon) that comes stock with Gingerbread 2.3.4 and also with Playstation Pocket - there is no menu that appears that allows me to add game shortcuts....how did you get this to work?

The Samsung keyboard is seriously getting on my nerves so I'm looking for keyboard recommendations. Please post what keyboard you use and what you like/dislike about it. Thanks!
gingerbread free keyboard from the market is the best ive found, only thing is the letters dont have symbols like ? ! on them, but I can live with that for free
My new favourite keyboard is Perfect Keyboard! It is exactly as the name implies. Perfect.

I'm new to swiftkey x beta and liking it a lot so thanks for the heads up.
But.... the correction and suggestions don't work in the stock email app which is a bit of a bummer. Its sooo much better than the stock samsung keyboard.
Might go ask on the swiftkey web page if no one here has any quick and easy fix.
Edit: Found this is common for after market keyboards on the i9100 email app Have also sent question to swiftkey
Wish there was an easy way to change the keyboard when in an app without going to home screen. On my i8000 running froyo i used to be able to hold the settings button the keyboard and the keyboard choices came up. Any way to access the choise of keybaord easily??????
SlideIT ftw.

+1 on that. It's simple and does what it's supposed to do well. Plus, if you search the I9000 forum, you'll find some nice skins, yes it's free and you can change the skin color!

Smart Keyboard has been my favourite for quite some time now. Plus I like the keyboard being a little longer as I find I hit the '.' so many times on the samsung keyboard and others. Its got a very good intuitive learning dictionary (think you have to turn it on first in settings).
Smart keyboard is great and has a lot of customization to it.
Personally love Swift Key. Can pretty much type a message only using the space bar.

My opinion atm is: Swiftkey X beta > SlideIT > Swype
I personally like Smart Keyboard pro the most. Also the gingerbread keyboard is good but not that good.
I don't know about Skype. I am trying to learn it but somehow it just seems bad..so slow and annoying. Just more practice needed?
+1 for smart keyboard. Tried the different keyboards when I got my nexus one and just felt that the smart keyboard where right for me. It has the feature that makes iPhone keyboard so great that it makes the letters bigger by prediction of what word you are typing "behind the scene"

Don't know if they can be removed but there's loads of alternative keyboards in play. some of which have arrows, some don't and some are switch-able.

I've tried swiftkey but I have to say, I think TouchPal is way better. The first time you do the tutorial you'll be amazed at all the shortcuts and clever features .

Just tried it and it seems very promising. For now, I just miss a Danish dictionary but I'm certain it'll come eventually.
This rom > Charmander v 5.0 Has options in 'Tweaks' to remove the arrows, and has alot of other great tweaks and gives immense battery life, I've got it flashed now, very good, would recommend; especially as you can remove the arrows.

I was using Smart Keyboard Pro, mainly because if I selected slovak (which is my first language) I could see a fourth row of keys with our special characters and I didn't have to wait until longpress. It was a pretty fast and accurate keyboard. With HTC One X I'm using Swiftkey, it is just faster as Smart Keyboard Pro, and the dictionary and prediction is a little bit more accurate.
But I must admit, that the HTC's keyboard on HOX is pretty good, tried to use it for a while and the typing experience was great. Also the trace function was working quite well. Don't know about the arrows, but they keep showing up and disappearing based on apps in which they were used.

Yop exactly for this(except the 2 official languages part, I just type in 2 languages, English and Slovak) I have Swiftkey I am using 2 languages at the same time without the need of switching (no buttons nada, just typing away) which is awesome.
OT @Ondro, yeah but it says Home Country not where you currently reside , at least that's how I understood it. Doesn't matter anyway
how are the arrows helping with writing in two different languages? I'm writing in three languages (Slovak, German, English) and I didn't see any use to those arrows, except for moving between input fields or moving in the text itself.
Swiftkey has it solved with a far more better solution, it is simply giving you predictions in all three (or two) languages at a time.
@PAGOT - I changed it was thinking it was my operators country

Are you looking for something specific? If you're not looking for a specific one, there are a ton of 3rd party keyboards in the Play Store.
actually i have been a non-sense ICS rom and the keyboard was just perfect except for the smiley key, which i wanted to replace with the return key
is this possible? can i get such a keyboard?

I don't know; for such a specific request, you will probably need to just try them for yourself. I use SwiftKey, and long-pressing on the return key gives you smileys.
try Swiftkey or SlideIT from market
Try also smartkeyboard at the play store.

If you're willing to do a little extra for your keyboard, I suggest you take the time to register, download and instal Swype. I've had it ever since I got my phone, and I find it better than swiftkey! It's a long and tedious process, yes, but it is definitely worth the effort..

swiftkey is just fine.
I have tried several keyboards and must say that swiftkey is by far the best, if you want to type quickly.
It predicts so many words and gets better over time by learning your typical vocabulary.
