    I do not think that this phone is going to have a bright future, hardware seems to be outdated for a "console" phone. It is going to be interesting to see how PSP phone struggles to keep up with Nvidia Tegra monster.
    BTW I am not trying to start the discussion about avaibility of good games etc. I think that they should use the newest available technology, that is all.

        buliding a gaming phone with little game app storage space.....315mb sony ericsson you have failed!!!! WTF its an incredible mistake one which cripple the phone,that and the 2010 specs in it. Lots of big games can range in at 15mb even after using app2sd and putting 300mb of data in the memory card folder. Some games don't use app2sd and can have larger internal phone memory usage......in 2011 this is unforgiveable and Sony has indeed not learned anything

Come on we know it's an android based gaming smartphone. Don't get me wrong i'm not disrespecting sony here. I have both sony ps3 and psp go. Which i think amazing gaming device. My guess is a smartphone plus gaming device don't suit well. And not to mention the android plaform which has issue over battery performance. It won't even stay for 24 hours. Big game developers and publishers are not stupid. They knows the android platform vey well. Even sony's psp 2000 or 3000 didn't make too much impact against nintendo's DS or DSI/DSI XL. Now we know sony's on announcing new psp2. I'm waiting for it but if it's good what sony said to be or i will buy nintendo 3DS. All good game came from nintendo's handheld device.

                        If sony supports this model with good gaming titles (ie over n above regular android games), i dont find any reason why this phone wont turn out to be the biggest hit of the year n more. ...
                        .
                        .
                        N its a totally differently story that nokia n sammy fanboys will keep cursing this one....as they keep blabbing about iphone.

                              Stoogie, 18 Jan 2011Why would they use a adreno 205 when the PowerVR SGX 540 is... morePowerVR is used on Hummingbird processors, whereas Adreno comes with Snapdragon processors.

                                  gaming devices and phones should be kept separate. It will never be a good phone or a good gaming device, it'll be in the middle spec wise =[ im still going to buy this phone though. cmon psp2

                                      Yup, i think battery drain would be one of the biggest issue here.
