British online retailer Play.com is listing two upcoming Android phones, each with pre-order prices and tentative release dates. LG's Optimus 3D is listed for £514.99 (~$825) with a release date of Apr. 25, while Sony Ericsson's Xperia Play has a pre-order price of £519.99 (~$830) with a release apparently due on Mar. 28.
The usual disclaimer applies when dealing with pre-release pricing and unconfirmed launch dates -- this is subject to change, and could be nothing more than a retailer's best guess as opposed to official info from the manufacturer. In particular, we're surprised to see the Xperia Play at such a high price given its relatively modest hardware specs. [Optimus 3D on Play.com, Xperia Play on Play.com]
