The PlayStation Phone is Calling Your Name

Posted on Tuesday, October 26 @ 19:47:48 Eastern by
Ring, ring. Who is it? It's the PlayStation Phone.

Thanks to some leaked pictures that have hit the 'net, courtesy of "sources" close to Engadget, what appears to be a Sony Ericsson-branded PlayStation Phone has been revealed. The phone, which resembles both a PSPgo and a touch-screen smartphone, features a 1GHz processor, 512MB of RAM, 1GB of ROM, and runs on Google's Android OS.

Instead of a QWERTY keyboard sliding out from under the touch-enabled screen, a D-Pad and face-buttons -- similar to the PSPgo's -- are in its place. Also included are L and R shoulder buttons and a touch-sensitive pad which appears to replace analog sticks.

If all of this seems too hard to believe, check out the pics for yourself below:

    Not so fast De-Ting. That think looks terrible for games. Touch analog sticks? Because it works so well for the DS.

    At least the sticks aren't on the screen. A designated spot for the sticks separate from the touch screen is a leg up on the iPhone right there, though I still prefer the real deal.

    I'll be interested to see the kind of support, and traditional controls like that will help the Android app market, god knows it needs it.

    I love how crazy the speculation has been in the time since the 3DS announce at TGS. That info leaked early too didn’t it?

    Any way truth is an e-reader/ipad, muilti-touch/quad-shock, phone/gps/psp2 with 4g/quadband/satellite, 1tb/1.2ghz/4gb RAM, 2 stroke/ Bio diesel, AWD/jetski with a 70inch 3D screen is on the way folks, believe me!
    Ive ridden it and its amazing!

    @ Daniel: So you're saying that this thing, with its already dedicated gaming design is going to be worse for games than the iPhone, which has no buttons or d-pads or anything? Right... Technology has evolved ever so slightly since the DS came out, chances are this thing is just slightly above and beyond, dig?

    wow, i was just thinking about something like this a few weeks ago in regards to instead of it having a sliding keyboard some kinda gamepad and there it is! IF they design it as a psp first, then a phone second it could potentially be a iPhone killer. IMO all they have to do is make it a touch screen phone when the gamepad isnt being used. sick. just sick.
