Well over a year ago now, rumors from major tech gadget and gaming blogs told us about the (at the time well hyped sony playstation phone) as the apple iPhone got iFans camping out side of cell phone stores apparently Sony Ericcson were working on what was dubbed the playtation phone.

Basically, there still working on it apparently, Gizmodo states that The Sony Ericsson gaming boss, Peter Ahnegard, said that a PlayStation-branded gaming phone would be coming by Christmas. He also added that it might not be this Christmas, which probably pissed whoever he was talking to off to no end. Sony Ericsson, who’ve already branded their W-line of phones the Walkman line, the K-line of phones the Cyber-shot line, and some random Japanese line the Bravia line, can easily brand another line (G, maybe, since P is taken) the PlayStation line. It doesn’t even need games other than the mobile ones that already exist for their cellphones, which run just fine on SE’s higher-end hardware.

Although now VOIP/Skype is available on the PSP have they totally scrapped the PlayStation phone?

As we speak I’m currently wanting to get a new phone, right now I have quite an old’ish Sony Ericsson Cybershot which does pretty much what I want a phone to do e.g call, SMS, photo’s, film, mp3, internet (web browsing), RSS feeds and email.

Although I do want to upgrade to the new T-Mobile G1 with Google Android but competition from the apple iPhone and the new Vodafone Blackberry are harsh I have to say.

Who knows if Sony will ever release a playstation phone, we will have to wait and see.
