@jangled please tell me a phone that has better graphic than that. please, I beg you, tell me.

jecht_35 7 pts

I know its a phone first and a gaming device second, but if your going to make that phone revolve around the gaming aspect a lot you better do it right and this just doesn't scream wow to me, kind of a let down.

jangled 5 pts

Is it just me??? The graphics looked awful. I SAW the racing game "hang" at least twice DURING HIS DEMO! "smooth running" my@$$! Has Sony learned NOTHING from Nokia's N-gage? Hang up on this epic fail. Get on to the PSP2.

gustyaquino 5 pts

hmmm heavy loaded ram with any no-lame game running, what if you receive a call?

cloudstrife345 5 pts

interesting though the most interesting thing to me is the game emulating

supernaught360 9 pts

Why. WHY does Sony REFUSE to get PS2 games on these devices?!? The PS2 library on a device like this would be glorious!!!!

CreatureRising 5 pts

Looks like a interesting device, though I personally think it will only catch on to a limited selection of consumers. Its definately a cool idea, and I give sony props for being able to get it done.

Tarfang2 6 pts

why get a phone trying to be a PS1 when later you can get a psp trying to be a PS3

bretlackey 5 pts

I like how it's Android based, so you can run android and psp games, thats pretty cool. I just hope it will be coming out for Sprint.

Hate to break it to you, mcj, but PSX used to refer to the PSone, or whatever kids call it these days. Just like we say "360" or "PS2" or "PS3" etc to refer to those systems, PSX is what showed up in magazines/internet before the PS2 came out. I still find myself typing PSX occasionally. So my advice to you is to "learn the difference" between different abbreviations before you start assuming that someone is talking about a failed DVR/PS2 combo Sony released in Japan.

mjc0961 84 pts

Hey Guy. Learn the difference between the PS1 and PSX. The phone does not play PS2 games, which is what a PSX is (a PS2 and a DVR in one device).

Shark-mky 5 pts

Ok.. My way of seeing this... Sure the NGP will be a better gaming device BUT, Im sure you won´t be carrying it everywhere you go. It´s the same with the PSP. I have it, love it... But at times I just can´t be bothering having it on my pocket. As for a phone, who doesnt carry one at ALL times nowadays? So I´ll just get both. Simple.

hyttenhoof 5 pts

eh, NGP looks severely superior

FAHED 5 pts

Guy Cocker! is how you can insult people by just telling them your name.........GUY COCKER! say that in a bar and get your ass kicked!

As long as battery life is concerned...

Looks kind of neat, those dual analog pads are especially cool. But I've already got a cell phone that's about one-third that size, and when it comes to gaming, I'm far more interested in their Next Generation Portable. Who knows though, maybe there will be a good market for this thing.

warhawk-geeby 81 pts

I want to say meh.. Buuuut everytime I think that this is a phone I can't help but think it's pretty cool. Congrats to Sony I say, haters will be haters but still.

WaterMelnKidd 31 pts

It's gonna be cheap and great for gaming. I'd rather have one of these than a PSP because I can play real games on it. You're saying it's bad because you have a PSP 3000, when this thing has better graphics and is more practical. Might sell my Milestone and get this.

700 euros a friend of mine was stay too and the phone comes with 1 game tell me !!! ????

Johnke 5 pts

just a piece of crap...no reason to release something like that ..waste of money,the sales will be similar to the sales of PSP GO. I can have all the fun i want with psp3000 'till the release of NGP imo. Reminds me of the failure that nokia N-gage had back then..

eliebaz 21 pts
