Engadget reveals the long awaited PlayStation Phone

I probably would buy this once my contract is up in April, but I'm disappointed that it isn't being shipped with a dual-core processor :(

Guess I'll just have to wait and see how it comes out... Will definitely be faster then my current Android phone though (HTC Touch/Vogue) lol

Wasn't it just reported here and on max console that the "new psp" had a touchscreen? I see no controller nub at all, i wonder if there still planning on selling a standalone model without the actual phone aspect. xS somehow, I think this one is going to sell worse than the original psp due to the lack of a nub.

This is not a real PSP Phone because it not capable of playing actual PSP Games. Where is the analog stick. It just a android phone made by Sony/Ericson. PSP Games not compatible.

The PSP has a single analog nub... Considering it's supposed to be portable, I'd rather have dual nubs than dual sticks protruding from the front.

Just a thought, but considering the pad in the center is a multitouch track pad, perhaps they will utilize a touch interface for dual analog control rather than use dual nubs. Since there are two silver dots, those may represent the center of the touch area for the left and right analog controls. Something similar to how the DS used the touch screen for movement instead of an analog nub.

I want two analog sticks god damn it!!!!!

You see that little thing in between the D-pad and the buttons?

Maybe they could be touch sensitive analogue sticks. I mean, it works on the iPod Touch/iPhone, so why not touch-sensitive analogue sticks on a new PSP phone? It won't be sticking out or anything.

EDIT: Very weird...

If you see the first picture, it says 'A' to enter and 'B' to go back yet there's only triangle, circle, cross and square. Mm...

This could just be Ericson's way to compete with Apple, and the PS division agreed that using a similar control scheme to the GO may appeal to consumers. I agree that it may not in fact be for PSP games at all, until Sony officially responds everything here is just speculation.

Sony should be announcing sometime soon tho, as the more hardware pics gets leaked, the more people are gonna demand answers.

I wonder if anything can be put in the center gray area, since it looks ugly. And it will likely have access to the same store that the pspGO has.

please, IF sony had implemented everything, some people hear would still somehow bash it.

before everyones like, WE NEED PSPHONE!!11!1

and now its announced, oh, its for TEH N00BZ.

Just like the typical man, insearch for a partner, the chase is all men care about.

For the types of games I play I could go without the analogue sticks/nubs. That being said the two circles in the centre are obviously meant for that. That being said, I think Sony has already commented that this is a fake.

I've been considering replacing my old Flip phone. Never bought a PSP. Though I was tempted at one time. Now I just may :D Keep the prices down $ony, and you can count on my gratuity ;)

everybody have a phone next is TiVo
