Engadget reports, Hot, Hot, Holiday Phone!

As reported by Engadget today:

Kids will be fainting everywhere once the word hits the streets - It's hard to believe that what we're looking at is real -- but Engadget assures you, the picture above is in fact the PlayStation Phone you've long been waiting for. Likely Android, Sony Marketplace which will allow you to purchase and download games designed for the new platform. The device snapped up top 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. 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. No Memory Stick slot but there is support for microSD cards.

The particular model featured in Engadget is still in prototyping mode. It may arrive, just in time for the holidays (kid fingers crossed)!
