Well folks, it appears the rumors are true.  The Sony PlayStation Phone lives and it’s packing quite the hardware.  Lets take a look. 

Engadget recently got their hands on some photos of the PlayStation phone.

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.

So far looking very good.  Dual analogue sticks as touch pads and no Memory Stick, just the average Micro SD slot.  It will be very exciting to see how this turns out.  Might have to pick one up for myself and do a review when the time comes.  Stay tuned folks.
