We didn't see this comig... Not!
Sony Ericsson claims that nothing is imminent; but they just filed for a U.S. patent concerning a cell phone/video game hybrid. A joint venture between the Japanese electronics company Sony and the Swedish cell phone Ericsson; what the device would be if it does actually exist is a Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) cell phone; taking advantage of the PSP’s existing brand name recognition.
But is making a cell phone PayStation Portable even a good idea? The way I assume it would work is similar to the way many high end music phones function; where the video game would automatically pause when you’re receiving a call. Which sounds great in theory; except as anyone who plays video games knows; there’s nothing more annoying than getting interrupted in the middle of a game. You don’t want to answer the phone call; you want the irritating person to be put on call waiting until you finish the level.
Unless your playing multi player or something; video games aren’t about wanting to communicate, they’re about wanting to be left alone.

there is already a rumour thread for this one
PlayStation phone?
and a followup statement from SE which says "
No PSP or Bravia Phones for the UK?"
so no need for a new discussion
