PlayStation Phone is real.

[Goli]

​

It's hard to believe that what we're looking at is real -- but we assure you, the picture above is in fact the PlayStation Phone you've long been waiting for. As we reported back in August, the device you see is headed into the market soon, likely boasting Android 3.0 (aka Gingerbread), along with a custom Sony Marketplace which will allow you to purchase and download games designed for the new platform. The device snapped up top (and in our gallery below) is sporting a 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8655 (a chip similar to the one found in the G2, but 200MHz faster), 512MB of RAM, 1GB of ROM, and the screen is in the range of 3.7 to 4.1 inches. Looking almost identical to the mockup we hit you with this summer, the handset does indeed have a long touchpad in the center which is apparently multitouch, and you can see in the photos that it's still bearing those familiar PlayStation shoulder buttons. For Sony buffs, you'll be interested to know that there's no Memory Stick slot here, but there is support for microSD cards.

The particular model in these shots is still in prototyping mode. As such, the unit doesn't have a custom skin (not even SE's Timescape design seen on the Xperia devices), and is said to be rather buggy. We're digging into more facts as we speak, but it's likely that much of what we reported earlier is still accurate, and though the device could still be headed for a 2010 release, 2011 is looking much more realistic. Still, there's a lot of time between now and the holidays... so keep your fingers crossed!

Looks shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.

Actually, I don't know.

1GHz Qualcomm MSM8655

If we can root it, I've already to managed to overclock it to at least 1.4GHz.

it does look 'shopped (or even mspaint'd) but that reason could only be because they didnt want whatever was in the background.
I guess we must wait for more news.

Yeah I know. "Looks shopped..." is a meme.

Looks like it has a dual trackpad or something instead of analogue sticks.

Don't know if I like that.

wat
There're no official statements regarding it and the images on the internet are only mockups.
Also, regarding the picture, remember it's just a prototype, so that's why it may look "shopped".
It may even be "shopped" in order to get a more "tangible" look at it for the developers.
