Pssh that news is sooooo 10 minutes ago....

I don't understand what's in the middle.

 

[BiGMERF]

there were rumors before but this just popped up on my twitter 2 minutes before i posted it as for the middle, the article says this

the handset does indeed have a long touchpad in the center which is apparently multitouch

 

[Member243850]

Hahhaaa lol ur a very funny dude Vihzel!

Hahaha lol but people that live under rocks and in caves such as myself never know this stuff!

LOL haha

 

[shawn1224]

this looks so enticing.

I hope this will be available for all carriers.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Gah. Want one but need new phone too soon.

 

[BiGMERF]

For sony to make this carrier exclusive would be suicide

i just saw this on my twitter account and than i go and see it on here... it looks pretty awesome but i wonder how it incorporates playing games and texting and phone calls at the same time

Judging from Sony's past android phones (the x10)... I don't bode well for this to last very long...

I think i read someplace..
optical joysticks.....

Ahhh... that makes sense. A joystick but without the actual mechanical part... just some sort of "lazer".

 

[tommy_ed]

hmmmm as AWESOME as that sounds, I think they still should have slapped the regular PSP joysticks on there. Little more memory would have been nice as well, maybe even a bigger processor. I think I'll wait for the 2nd or 3rd model to try this one out!

 

[Vihzel]

Something that I'm worried about is the price....

I just can't see this going for $200 under contract while regular PSPs are that price.

 

[Thefoodman52]

Well, if this turns out even half as bad as the x10, it shouldn't go for more than $150 with contract.

Regular PSPs don't require a contract...

Ipod Touch 32 GB: $320 (CDN$)
Iphone 4: $759.95 (CDN$)

Same thing here:

PSP: $160
PSP Phone: $500?

Soooo true, MERF. I really hope this thing goes cdma. I would pay 500 on contract for it. I loved my psp until my kid left it in his bag at a friends house, and his mother ran it over. I can't wait to see where this goes....

 

[OMJ]

Even if it didnt play psp type games I would buy that phone to play emulators and such.

Im sure this thing will have a version that supports ever carrier under the sun. No way they would take away a large portion of their market by making it just GSM.

Oh nice, so it is real, lol. I thought it was a hacked job on photoshop when I saw the rumor pictures floating around the net. I wonder if all the Android gamers will buy this phone now. I doubt it'll come with Gingerbread considering that 2.1 was out (3 months) BEFORE X10 was released. When the X10 was released, it had Donut (1.6) XD.

 

[gallandof]

Whoa this phones been out for a while! (look at the date i think its 1980/02/10 )

 

[Member243850]

This is just awesome for the android community here!

More games = more fun for me

lol hahahah

Im willing to bet it will come with gingerbread. Gingerbread is supposedly going to enable hardware acceleration which would make a big difference for gaming performance.

Well...if it comes with Gingerbread, we might not see it until mid year next year, lol, assuming Google release Gingerbread end of this year. The article was saying that the SE will have the phone out end of this year (very unhighly) or early next year.

 

[Kabob]

Wow...that's pretty sharp. But no thumbsticks? Fail!

 

[necosino]

I'll stick with my HTC Incredible + PSX4Droid
