Old? I did a search and couldn't find anything. Anyway!

Mock up, speculation, booooring.

Until I see something like...official, I'm really not interested.

Looks like a typical T3/Stuff bullshit render...

[JB1981]

that looks sick.

[Metalmurphy]

It's just an idea atm. Sony has no plans to make one.

I saw it in a local magazine the other day.

[The Bookerman]

april fools early?

[acidviper]

Ror February fools day

I don't think people will want a big bulky game phone.

[solid2snake]

will it play PSP UMDs?

[Brandon F]

No Bru Ray no buy.

[batbeg]

I don't think people will want a big bulky game phone.

The iPhone feels pretty bulky and clunky to me.

That said, I'm pretty indifferent to this PSPhone. I was hoping the PSPhone would be the next PSP and as such a generation leap.

[lynux3]

It's going to happen and when it does... Day one purchase!

[TheGreatDave]

I hope this happens just so the PSP goes down in price even more. I'd be all over a PSP if it was just a tiny bit cheaper.

[Struct09]

I actually really like Sony Ericsson phones

[solid2snake]

but but but will it play PSP games? :(

[Metalmurphy]

Here's a better scan I just made:



But this ain't official.

I actually really like Sony Ericsson phones

I used to until they basically released the same phone a dozen times in about 3 years. I think I'm a Nokia guy now. Especially since a new version of Snakes, the best thing EVER, was announced.

[Shard]

I would hope that Sony would have learned something for the N-Gage, as in never make one of those.

[RavenFox]

Wow that does look pretty nice.

Yeah, the w750i turned me onto SE phones in a big way, but then the w800, w850 etc were just tiny incremental improvements.

I LOVE the Cybershot / k phones. Sony Ericsson phones at 3.2 megapixels, stand up to a lot of these newer 5 megapixel phones in terms of image quality. And of course, the latest models are 5 megapixels themselves.

I also really love the user interface on Sony phones... by the looks of it, they're also throwing in an XMB style interface on new phones for managing media. Which I believe to be a good thing.

Despite all that, I went with the LG Viewty recently. It was free on my plan, and yes touch screen is a bit gimmicky and the flash based GUI is a bit iffy, but the phone has great features, a nice camera and beautiful aesthetic.

If Sony DO make a PSPhone, I'll look at it very seriously though.

[Rice-Eater]

Well that actually looks pretty nice. It looks like they could use some of the idea from this phone on the next PSP. I'm not saying that the D-pad shouldn't be in front, but veing able to slide the back and having extra buttons for other purposes(keyboard perhaps) would be pretty cool.

[monkeylite]

I've always wanted to know how XMB would be like as a phone UI. I like S-E's U250 platform, but it is getting a bit outdated by now.

[inner-G]

whatever the PSP phone looks like, I hope Verizon supports it :/

[TONX]

This the same magazine that had the article on the PS Aibo? The phone looks sweet.

[Mithos]

If that phone with that design came out even I would buy a PSP-"phone".

[The Orange]

If that phone with that design came out even I would buy a PSP-"phone".

It really is slick as hell.

[spwolf]

day 1 purchase if true. day 1.

[solid2snake]

so, it will play special "PSPhone" games? i guess the mobile has no UMD drive.

[Darkpen]

lol, looks nice, too bad its not real. no, not really too bad. I don't think I'd pick it up, probably eats battery life for breakfast

[inner-G]

I dunno, PSP2K get pretty good battery life, and this thing looks even smaller.

Remote play for music/videos anywhere in the world would be SICK!

i doubt it - it would have to play PSP games otherwise it wouldnt matter.

[robochimp]

XMB on mobile phones does exist. I think it was shown by someone at sony during some sort of trade show

[TONX]

If the phone is real, and has Home integration like how it was during the past e3, then sign me up.

[solid2snake]

i doubt it - it would have to play PSP games otherwise it wouldnt matter.

i hope it's true. God of War CoO on the PSPhone would rock

[DGaio]

This is a mockup, it does not exist nor it's official whatsoever. Last line says: "probability of this product in the future: 35%"

[shaft]

I would buy it.

[solid2snake]

where are the shoulder buttons and the analog nub?

[oneHeero]

I'd buy any psphone. I dont care what it looks like.

[monkeylite]

I just remembered that some of S-E's newer top-tier feature phones uses XMB. But it was only for the media section.

[batbeg]

where are the shoulder buttons and the analog nub?

The nub is pretty clear, and the shoulder buttons would probably be relegated to the two Confirm/Deny buttons.

But as has been said, this is a mockup anyway.

[LRB1983]

Probabilidade de vir a existir 35%

:/
I'd like a PSP2 with MS Duo Games, but this fake is pretty nice.
Practically all new Sony Hardwares use XMB Style menu.

[sakuragi]

That look fantastic. I hope it has the same functionality like the PSP slim ( TV out). If it has, then day 1. I'd give my N95 away

[BadlyCookedTurkey]

Here's a better scan I just made: But this ain't official.

Is that an analogue nub under the dpad?

Crippling.

[klee123]

Man, I can really see Sony pimping the PS store like crazy if this takes off.

Nice design too, unlike N-Gage

[Zaptruder]

This is what PSP2 needs to be.

Make games all downloadable content. And make a stand alone PSP2 like the ipod touch is to the iphone.

[Defuser]

The iPhone feels pretty bulky and clunky to me.

You can't compare the iphone and PSP,in fact iphone is slimer than PSP slim. It will be very bulky if they combine PSP tech with phone tech.


Although,a PSP phone wouldn't be such a bad idea.
Japan loves handheld & mobile phone, so PSP phone = win win win

[DieH@rd]

I really like SE phones. I hope they will make somethink like this...

[solid2snake]

so, it's confirmed to be a fake?
