PlayStation phone could be announced in December

Have you ever played a PSP? I hadn’t really until a few months ago, and after about an hour I was pretty much done. I didn’t hate it, but it wasn’t enough for me to spend a few hundred dollars. Yet when I saw hints of a PSP phone, I thought it was an excellent concept. What’s the difference? The dual functionality, I’d guess. I might get a chance to play with one soon; we could be getting an announcement early next month and the phone itself in February. Talk Android has all the details. As they make clear, these are just whispers and might not actually be true. But if they are true, I think I’ll be all over this one. It includes a 4-inch screen, full touch, with 512MB RAM and a 1GHz processor. I thought they could go a bit faster, especially since this will be a gaming phone, but that still sounds adequate. The rumor also mentions Android 3.0, which would be nice. But then again how many devices launch right after the OS is announced? So unless the device will come out considerably later than February, I’m not sure if we can bank on that part being true.

The price also seems fair: $500 off contract, with five games included. I wonder, then, how they’ll work phone plans. If we’re paying an off-contract price then why would we sign a two-year agreement? That will be an interesting point to ponder indeed. Now we sit and wait until December 9, at which point we’ll learn more before we sit and wait until February. Excitement at it’s height.
