Fixed Xperia Play IS coming to O2 network – somewhen soon..

After a little setback with some reportedly dodgy software, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play gaming smartphone should finally be available on mobile network O2 very soon.

Software bugs pushed the Xperia Play back from its intended April 1st release on both O2 and Vodafone networks, but Stuart Hibberd – Head of the O2 test department claims “We’ve received new software from Sony Ericsson which we’ve been testing and I’m happy to report it has fixed a lot of the bugs that would have stopped our customers having a great experience when they use the Play. This is an important milestone for us and means the Play is nearly ready to go on sale.”

This all sounds promising, but there’s still hesitancy from O2 to commit to a release date. They do however claim we’ll find out exactly when the Xperia Play drops onto the O2 network in the coming days.
