The long rumoured Playstation phone is finally here, and we’ve got some of the first shots here on GDW

According to Engadget, the upcoming PlayStation Phone will likely run on Android OS 3.0 aka Gingerbread and will feature a custom Sony Marketplace which will allow users to purchase and download games designed for the upcom. The device will included “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 landscape slider will also feature a multi-touch touchpad in the center that replaces the analog stick with the usual array of PSP buttons. Engadget also added “that there’s no Memory Stick slot in the device, but there is support for microSD cards.”
