The PSP phone isn't happening ... or David Reeves, CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, has been left in the dark. After some very detailed patent filings were unveiled, the Sony CEO has responded, flatly denying the possibility of such a product. "I know the head of Sony Ericsson very well," he told MCV. "He has a Walkman phone and a Cybershot phone available, but I know nothing about a PSP phone."
He adds, "I haven't heard anything about it at all – and I would know. They wouldn't develop it without our knowledge."
Of course, in the games industry, it's not uncommon for an executive to be kept out of the loop.

they said that about camera phones and mp3 player phones, and more recently TV phones. Now Sony Ericsson have Cybershot phones, Walkman phones, even a Bravia phone! Why not a Playstation phone?

I'd rather just get a psp redesign with built in VoIP. Then i can whine and whine until wifi blankets the earth. Plus, i could use it as my only phone whenever im on my school's campus.
