PSP phone from Sony Ericsson coming

Sony Ericsson continues to exploit the great legacy of Sony Corporation brands to give them a second mobile life. After Walkman, Cybershot and Bravia phone models saw the light Sony Ericsson decided to re-invent Play Station Portable by giving it a cellular connectivity. As it turns out a recent filing with the patent office points to a new PSP-inspired mobile phone from Sony Ericsson. Although still in preliminary stages, the phone spots a gamer-friendly swivel screen, similar to the original PSP. The drawings show a bit clunky phone that is not very suitable for phone conversations but rather optimized for games. I believe the main use of cellular radio inside this machine will be for networked games and social networking. As a user I wouldn't consider the PSP phone as a substitution for my current phone but I'd rather see it as an additional device to play with occasionally. The key question is how many users will afford the luxury of having the second or third (after notebook with cellular modem) device with a cellular contract on their budget?
