            This phone better have swype cause I'm so used to it on my vibrant and going back to regular input makes no sense, plus a file manager but I think in ginger bread I think that got address. Lets see what type of issue it has before I trade in my vibrant (good riddance).

                            So its a phone with a PSP mode? Oh I get it. XP's motherboard isn't the same as the PSP Go's so it needs an emulator to run games. Can it play .iso or .cso games or some homebrews? (It's also the way to test how will the upcoming PSP2 work with an addition of a touch screen, a little prototype to say so.)

                              Do a Google translation, some good info in there.

                              http://android.tgbus.com/lab/hardware/201101/338957.shtml

                              Some quick quotes,

                              This means PSPhone mode of operation in the game on innovation, not only absorbed the NDS touch + physics two-way control key, also has a proud iPhone all-touch way. Both in the field of smart phone or handheld game consoles, Sony Ericsson PSPhone is enough to standout from the crowd.

                              Built above the right side of a 500 million pixel camera, maximum shoot 2592 × 1944 resolution images. In addition PSPhone autofocus and LED flash support for auxiliary lighting, the next official version will also support 720P HD video recording.


                              Although the native Android 2.3 PSPhone present system, but to unlock the 2.1 system interface and X10i same. By sliding around the icon button, the user can unlock the screen and start the silent operation. But the more regrettable as the project unit's sake, the current degree of system optimization PSPhone only 80% of the operation, often there will be some instability. Released from the vendor a few months, I believe that during this period PSPhone will receive the most perfect upgrade!

                                if some1 can port it to another android phone,i think they will make some kind of a touch ui 4playin them.but not all games will be playable with that many buttons scatterd all over the screen..

                                  Seriously. This phone isn't even out. Let's save our judgement until we actually see it do it's thing.
