Sony Ericsson PlayStation Phone !!!!

We have all been waiting for a PlayStation phone for a long time and it seems it will finally be a reality next year. The pictures have been leaked online several times and from what we can see it is an Android 2.3 based smartphone with a slider that reveals not a traditional QWERTY keypad but a proper gamepad like the one you can find on a PSP.

There is the standard D-Pad on the left, the four game controls on the right and what seems like touch based "analog sticks" in the middle with a button in the middle for the L3 and R3 function. If you look on the top (or on the right depending on how you hold the phone) you will also see the shoulder buttons. To be honest, whenever we imagined a PlayStation phone in our head it was very similar to what it looks like in the rumored pictures. We are really glad that although Sony Ericsson took their time with this phone they seem to have done a good job with the hardware.

Now as far as the games are concerned, they will be distributed online through an Android Market-like store on the phone. Users will also be able to play regular Android games that owners of other Android phones have access to. We are really looking forward to this one, and if Sony Ericsson gets this one right it is going to be absolutely awesome.
