    This looks just so UGLYYY, I never understand what's in sony head, seriously I think their design team just mess every phone with ugly concept and design. Sony just have to fire all the design team and hire some from samsung and htc or even apple for the sake of sony future. This is one phone nobody would want to and with price usd500 that's really tough deal. Anyone agree with me?

            It's impossible to integrate PSP games, solely for the fact that it lacks an analog rub.

            It will run PSX games with the Android emulator, sure, but PSP games? Most of the newer PSP games require the analog rub for movement, since the directional buttons are used for additional commands.

            Bad move by SE. They should'nt integrate Sony brands (Walkman, Cybershot, Bravia, Playstation) to SE phones, it will only tarnish the reputation of those brands.

                      A PSPphone that can't play PSP games is like a music phone that can't play music, or like a camera that can't take photo, a printer that can't print, or a scanner that can't scan, or a player who can't play, a singer who can't sing, ...i think you got my point.

                            i'm sure some psp games will be ported to this phone which means there will be ,afterall, some good quality games for this mobile. It surely will not be as good as a real psp game but it will be far better than iphone games. Bring on the emulator then.....

                                But what's so special about this phone then besides the gaming controls and the rumored specs we already covered? Sony Ericsson is said to be preparing a whole line of exclusive games developed by some of the best Sony partners.

                                There is a Sony behind the scne, so it sure there is plyastation game. But it special for android.

                                  this news is not completely true. this is a playstation phone and will come with Playstation logo and PS emulator and PS games preloaded.

                                  it will be launched first in US market with Verizon in last week of February, will be anounced on Dec 9th in France and will be displayed at MWC Barcelone alone with X12 anouncement in Barcelona.

                                  Both the events are going to be great.

                                  this project is being done by Sony Ericsson, Sony, Google and Qualcomm, and stake of 4 big companies are involved, so rest aasured this is going to be one of the biggest seller beating all it's competitors and will make them roll in dust.

                                    I dont know way people.hating on the xperia x10. I use this and it s the best phone that I ever had with android 2.1. I play alot of ps1 games with psx4 run well. I wonder if those exclusive would be able to run in the x10. Because according to xda web site the x10 is in the top 10 phone right now and has a 1ghz snapdragon.

                                      wither_exile, 26 Nov 2010i hope your right, and i hope this isn't going to be another X10
                                      I promise you that it's not! This device will have a lot of potential. All we need now is patience my friend :)

                                      Sony learned from their huge mistake with the X10 and therefore as an analyzer I see the future better.

                                        this will be an epic fail with out psp compatability, just like the ngage failed it will fail with special made digital titles.
