As I've been saying all along, they just need to give the new PSP redesign phone capabilities. I would not buy a PS Phone if it was separate from the Portable brand. If the Phone and Portable brands do merge and the PSP-3/4/5000/and-so-on can do phone stuff as well as games and media and all that jazz, I will be all over that.

It is a shame that's not real, because it looks SWEEET!

that is a very desirable mock up. its planned out very well. only thing i would worry about would be how you could get the L and R front buttons on it. i think a touch screen analog stick would be a bit much too.

I am anticipating and hoping that Sony & Ericsson will be able to work on this project and get something materialized. Everytime I see someone with an iPhone, I just can't help but think how cool it'd be to be walking around in public and having someone say, "Ooh, that guy has a new PSP phone."
The concept in this article does look nice. Looks like they blended the iPhone screen with the 3 white touch sensitive dots of the SE K850. Looks real nice though.

PLEASE release this unlocked and (maybe) available at retail. Don't make it exclusive to a company like the iPhone (even though I was with AT&T) because I don't want to deal with a dang contract.
I have a Nokia N95. I love how Nokia is releasing their phone models unlocked straight from the factory site. If they do make this phone, I seriously hope they release it unlocked.

Yey, I got something published on PSPFanboy! lol
Have to say it does look sweet, there is another pic on the pocket lint site.
Yes there are a few design issues, but imagine if this launched right now - with the capabilities to stream stuff of a PS3 onto your phone at a Wifi hotspot (or via 3G??) with a bit of work on the handling of MP3 and Video to improve the usability of them to compete with the iPod, it would be a SERIOUS iPhone competitor, it probably would be the 'must have' tech toy.
Personally I don't think we'll see it for at least 12 months, they need to shrink down the PSP hardware a bit more first, the new slim is good, but it needs to be slimmer if its a phone as well.
Very good mockups though, whoever did them :D

And I also agree with Dehshizknight, SE should learn from Apple's mistake and sell it unlocked, available to all providers. There is nothing to stop them from doing a revenue sharing scheme with the different providers. At the end of the day, if it was priced the same as a PSP, it would sell anyway.
