Ok guys, I'll just post this here since I can't create new topics on here just now. I have been thinking about buying a Vita for some time now, but I don't know a whole lot about the games that are available there.
The situation is as follows: My smartphone recently broke and my parents are pushing me to get a new one so I can check mails and surf when I'm not at home or in my apartment when going to University. I don't really see the incentive to buy a smartphone though as we have plenty of old mobile phones that I could use to, well, phone people. I, myself, would rather spend some money on a Vita than on a Smartphone, since, from what I gathered, the Vita (3G) is able to "read and write" mails and surf on the (mobile) internet, which would mean that I could use it alongside an old mobile. However, since I don't really know a lot about what games are available or about the system in general, I wanted to ask some questions:
1. Is the Vita capable of doing the things I described?
2. If it is capable, are the features good enough to be an alternative to a smartphone (phoning aside)?
3. Could you recommend me any games? (For reference, I'm a huge fan of SRPGs [Fire Emblem specifically, as you can see in my avatar] or JRPGs in general, but I do like me some platformers or action adventure games from time to time) Knowing some games that might interest me would certainly make my decision easier.
4. Does the Vita have region lock? I seem to recall that the PSP did not have one, but I am not sure about the Vita.

Thanks in advance!
