engadget has gotten its hands on a finished PlayStation Phone and concluded with this line- “Well, having touched the actual gamepad on an Xperia Play, we’d be lying if we say we’re not further tempted by it. That said, there are still many questions left unanswered: how will the games be billed and delivered? How much will they cost? And most importantly, how much will the phone itself cost? Well, that’s what MWC’s for, and hopefully by then the Xperia Play will have a well polished OS as well as a sturdier battery cover. Meanwhile, we’ll continue to work on our combo tricks on Tony Hawks’ Pro Skater 4.”
“Even though we have the actual device with us, we’re still unable to verify our original tipster’s claim that it’s powered by a Qualcomm MSM8655 chipset; even the Chinese teardown struggled to get past the chip’s shield cage to check its ID. Anyhow, both Quadrant and Android System Info indicate that there’s a single-core processor inside that clocks from 122.88MHz to 1GHz (and note that the MSM8655 can even go up to 1.2GHz), and it’s coupled with an Adreno 205 GPU. This combo, along with Gingerbread and the generous 512MB of RAM, scored a chart-topping 1,689 on Quadrant and an impressive 59fps on Neocore. Other benchmark scores include: about 35 MFLOPS on Linpack, and around 43fps on NenaMark (tying with the Tegra 2-packing LG Star).”
