I really dont think that this phone will be as sucessful as the Walkman Or Cybershots. For some reason i dont think people would really want it except kids.
Posted by CrazyGuns
if they make games like those for psp, i'm sure it will be a hit! either way,i'm a gamin fan and i will get this phone!
and that prototype drawing looks superb!
Posted by Chartreuse Eyes
I think this phone is nt gonna be tat much popular but just in kids n teenager.
Posted by psp476
well firstly i wasnt going to get it because its kinda bulky for a mobile and secondly i have a psp so dont really need that, though it is cool
Posted by NightBlade
I'd never buy a gaming phone
I'd rather have a quality camera or good music capabilities with it.
And besides, the games that you can play on SE's handsets today are exactly the ones I'd want to play on a phone. (in terms of free-time-entertainment-need satisfaction)
Also, it'll get even better when they release those accelerometre-equipped phones. It'll be like a PSP-Wii hybrid.

No PSP or Bravia Phones for the UK?
Posted by bballs91
Interesting, don't think i'd go for it though. Gaming is for consoles/PC's not cell phones.
Posted by Drz Daddy
that gonna be interesting, a play station phone! danmm

I read in a T3 magazine that the ps-phone will also support UMD and wi-fi,just to mention a couple.they have an actual picture of the phone with a lady holding it and it doesnt look all that thick.good news is that they say its coming next year
Posted by GSM Helpdesk
There will be no PSP Phone any time soon. I spoke to SE yesterday and the only thing why this rumour started is that they patented the idea. They are not planning, at least not until 2009, to manufacture a PSP Phone.

Hmm. .If u say its gona b for kids and teenagers . .Then prepare for a skyhigh price. . .More than a w960i i guess.

not cleary its market.
gaming cell is not a rare thing, see sample
if it going to play a real playstating game, the CPU must be very high speed and huge memory available at least 200MB i guess.
Posted by thecell
I think it doesnt need 200mb ram, look at th psp itself, it doesnt have much memory and high speed processor, u can say it equal to average smartphone like p1, but the graphic boosted by an incredible graphic chip.
Im sure this phone will success if it running psp-like games, we knnw psp have much hardcore and targeting 13+ ages gamer games, even u can get a sexy games, so i think u cant tell gamephone just for kids or teen.
fyi much more psp owner ages higher than 20+, im 25 and i have one in my pocket

gaming phone?
I don't think that SE will make - or Sony will allow SE - the same mistake that Nokia did for 3 yrs on the N-Gage hardware. Nokia did a lot of things right including the price and a specific APN - uncongested - for GPRS gaming ... a BOLD move. However a gaming specific phone limits the abilities of what users can do on it.
Think about this for a moment .... SE with a gaming phone. We've already seen what SE did to 2 VERY successful phone brands that shared essentially the same hardware and functionality save for just 1 ... that's right 1 simple button (switchable by firmware). W800 & K750i. Just revisit the thousands of common posts amongst hundreds of different threads of ppl wanting both Activity Menu & dedicated walkman button, quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE, and also stereo walkman HPM-70 headsets that ship in the box with adequate memory card. Well, we got what we ordered hence the W810i. What SE wasn't realizing and nobody at that time thought the need to mention it (W800 & K750 already had this) was the Camera Shutter had to remain with said features. Since then SE has segregated the two brands by removing features again and again with each generation. Now the K850i doesn't have the PLAY/PAUSE button. Now ppl want a gaming phone? Remember how Nokia with the NGage redux kept the QD without a camera while the other Nokia release began with a camera? No thanks.
TO be honest if anyone watched Sony's PS3 conference at the last E3 2007 where they showed off the "Home" feature ... they showed a firmware tweaked (one off) of a W880i (with the new Media browser that the W910/K850/W960 have) and it took a photo and uploaded it to an online connected PS3 console. I think with the W910i & the K850i with motion detectors, these are a precursor to a very high end media phone with HW Nvidia/ATi chip and with motion sensors for specific range of gaming .... there is your gaming phone. Remember Sixaxis controller on the PS3, well think of the K850i as the perfect controller.

i've been thinking of getting a PSP slim, but ever since i read from the T3 magazine that theres a PSP phone in the works i'm thinking of holding out for that.
i'm not one for switching phone models like shoes, so i'm quite attached to my p990 right now, but i figured if i'm gonna give it up its gonna be for the psp phone.
Posted by razec
IMHO, they should better integrate it on other series let's say walkman or cybershot

thanx:)

it sure looks real to me,what if they announce it on the up coming announcement.hehehe,wishfull thinking...
Posted by xironghostx
That looks like a 3d work with touckscreen UI
Posted by CrazyGuns
mostly looks real except the buttons on the left... well nevertheless, it looks great! in the pic it says 90 degree rotate but the patent clearly shows a 180 degree rotation?!??! i hope it is 180 that is cool!
Posted by thecell
im not sure that was real, too ugly for SE phone, SE design much more minimalis n simple, look at the keypad, seems hard to use, the phone itself too bigger, even reak psp are small. What im thinking of ps phone was slim like psp slim, no touchscreen but have motion sensor, but hey... we wanna analog thumb pad too.
Oh, better if it have wifi and umd slot too.
Posted by C905
the picture actually looks kinda real
Posted by CrazyGuns
one things for sure, there is this or some pretty similar device in the makes guys... because there is a patent which proves it.
Posted by dancingfate
The brand on that "phone" is SONY, not Sony Ericsson.

xironghostx-- sorry, i dunno what happened dude, i thought that link from imageshack was the full image, here's what i intended to link to:

but looks like someone posted the big version already
CrazyGuns -- it rotates 180 degrees for phone mode and game mode, but you can do 90 degrees if you want to watch video on it as well (at least thats how i understood the patents)
thecell-- it does have an analog thumbpad, look at the picture again, its right there you cant miss it
.
Rifqi_Aziz-- it says SONY on one side of the earpiece and PSP on the other, the word PSP isnt quite clear on that photo. apologies for that but i just grabbed the image using my camera phone and i had to turn off the flash because the light reflects on the glossy page (i even have that in case anyone else wants to see it). maybe i could try scanning that if you guys want a clearer image.
cristiano-- are you with the Esato mods? hey guys how about giving credit where credit is due? i did grab that picture you know

It's a mockup/photo shopped PSPhone that article, right?!

that's what i'm trying to find out from you guys
Posted by Uxi
I remembered these rumors for awhile back and lamenting on the P990 and its problems and thinkingi about it's successor. I came to the conclusion that I hope they can fix / evolve Symbian and UIQ to where it's usable. I basically want a souped up P900 with a 5D Jogdial, bigger screen, thinner profile, 5.1mpx camera and xenon flash, along with 8GB MS Duo support...
But I was pondering my PS3 and concluded that an XMB on a phone could work quite well and if it could use the Remote Play features just added to the PSP (remote access to your PS3 via wifi/internet) would be very nice. If they could get games at least comparable to Game Gear, if not plain ol UMD/PSP games (from MS Duo), that would be gravy.

Rumor: Sony is definitely working on Playstation Phone
A website suggests that Sony's co-chief operation officer has stated that the Playstation is a proven success and so is Sony Ericsson, so therefore convergence between those two arms working together is plausible. He supposedly also stated that it is 'hugely intellectually seductive' to have a console oriented phone.
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After several months of rumors, it has just been confirmed that Sony is currently indeed working on the Playstation Phone project to bring the power of a video game console to a mobile phone device. A high ranking Official inside Sony Japan said that Sony wants to grab the two fastest growing electronics markets at once with the Playstation Phone, which are : gaming and mobile telecommunication.
It has also been confirmed that Sony had already submitted an application for a mobile telecommunication device with video games functions to the U.S. Patents and Trademark Office.
When asked about the project, Jim Ryan, Sony Computer Entertainment’s Co Chief Operating Officer said that : ” The Playstation is a proven success and so is Sony Ericsson. Convergence with the two arms working together is definitely plausible. It is hugely intellectually seductive to have a console oriented phone. ”

Behold... the PS3 phone - not!
Meet the 'PS3 Gamer Player', it is a phone that features Playstation buttons, has a Microsoft Windows OS and plays Nintendo platform titles. This 'phone' is reportedly available in "Koera" (how it is printed on the phone) and seems uber illegal.

Ha ha, great stuff!
Thats some talent and that psphone probably looks more like a psphone than anything SE would dream up.
Posted by deasine
i just find it funny how they thought it looked like the iPhone. Sure it has it's resemblance, but I think it's more from the K660i instead? It's funny how non-phone-obsessed geeks talk about phones when they don't know the entire marketplace of phones. sigh... but yeah I've commented on muhhumad-oil's phone earlier in the photoshop section.
