What phone should I get?
Ive been eying an iphone because my iTouch's headphone jack is broken, but also ive been checking out the Sony Xperia PLAY, because A) Its a PSP in a phone, and B)I can finally play Minecraft. But its bulk may be a problem, and I have no idea how to mod one to get custom firmware. Anyways, id probably buy a iphone 4s on Kijiji, but my friends willing to sell me the Xperia for 100$. What should I get? I know apple has the iPhone 4s or whatever coming out.
