Pictures of new PSP gaming phone
Marvel at these pics of what appears to be a brand new PSP gaming phone. Featuring a dual-slider form factor similar to the Samsung SGH-F520 smartphone, but with gaming controls replacing the F520's keypad, the Anycall Dual Blonde, as this super-cool phone is called (somewhat bizarrely!), is a Windows Mobile device with touchscreen, 3 megapixel camera, and is designed purely for game playing.
However, although this phone isn't fake, all is not as it first appears...
This phone isn't fake in a Photoshopped sense, but it is in terms of blatant copyright infringement. Anycall is a trademark of Samsung, who use the brand name in its native Korean market. It's not a Samsung phone, though. On the back, it has PSP emblazoned in bold letters - but it's not a Sony Ericsson phone. It even comes with 11 preinstalled Nintendo NES games, but it has nothing to do with Nintendo.
In fact, it's one enormous law-suit-baiting clone phone whose manufacturers have seemingly pinched every hyped-up brand name they could think of and plastered them all over this phone in an effort to shift as many units as possible. Even the "Windows Mobile" bit is fake, with a ripped off Windows Mobile UI!
This is a shame, as the Double Blonde offers everything you'd want from a gaming phone - innovative form factor, great games, good features, and the type of phone that would have every PlayStation and Nintendo fanboy drooling!
It's been sold by an eBay seller for just $200, so if you want a phone that no-one else on the world owns (and no guarantee that the phone itself will actually work - with this amount of ripped off technology, even the GSM circuitry might be ripped off!), head over to eBay and bid for the thing (hopefully without ripped off dollars!).
For the rest of us, we can but wait and hope that Sony Ericsson remember what innovation is and release a PSP phone sometime (or better still, Nintendo release a DS phone - now that would be something! Ah well, we can dream!)
