Looks like somebody couldn't wait on Sony Ericsson to release their official PSP Phone. Chinese modders tore open their Sony handheld to make a PSP Phone worthy of Frankenstein. Click on the pictures above for some close-ups.

Not much is known about this mod as of now - not if it can make calls, or make texts or anything. But that's mostly because we can't read Chinese. At any rate, it does look like an awesome mod. For the curious, the phone they used - according to one poster on the Jewel Factory - is a Haier m2000.

We'll keep you updated as soon as we find out more.

Try waiting for your browser to fully load the page before clicking on the images.

» OMFG

people need a bit more of a life

this isnt worthy of front page, and ofcourse it can make calls



all theyve done is cut a hole in the back of the psps casing and stuck the phone in

they probably didnt even bother having the phone take the psps, power supply



whenever they get the screen of the psp using a phone, then it will be a bit more interseting but not that much

un-*****kin-believable

» Hahaha...

LMAO it has tape to hold it together lol

by c74gta4smash - 2008-08-08 07:28
» Agreed

It's unpractical.



This thing is just plain dumb. I'm not trying to hurt feelings but it looks crappy and I can see that you need alot of charisma to walk in public with that thing. It's bulky and replaces the only thing that makes it a PSP, the drive lol.

» yeah

it should work

even ie makes it larger

by ml2noodle - 2008-08-08 11:07
» LOLL

Rofl. This is old news though I do understand that some people still haven't heard. This thing is a piece of *****. You'd have to have bigger balls than Chuck Norris to use it in public x]

» can it...

still play psp umds/ turn on?

by FearEvil19 - 2008-08-08 14:14
» no, but

You can play from the memory stick, which is faster and better

by Dremth - 2008-08-08 14:28
» eh

looks to me that it sacrifices umd functionality.

by fungusinmymilk - 2008-08-08 16:42
» how?

how would you hold it to make calls?



would the speaker be the same as the psps? and whre would the mic be?



a bit of a waste of time i reckon

by core2kid18 - 2008-08-09 06:47
» umds are better

because they don't lag and have a faster access time. for some games though ms is better but for others, mainly racing and gta, the umd is better.

images work. its your own fault

by Armada651 - 2008-08-09 12:13
» Don't use tabs

Don't open the images in tabs as they wont enlarge then and it's useless since they open in a pop-up anyway.

» umds are nott better

no way are umd's better. memory stick games are WAY faster because it doesnt read from a laser, it loads right up.

» QJ is slower than a tug boat from China

China couldn't wait but the bloggers of QJ waited 3 months to post since this PSPhone was created...i submitted an attempt to share the news and uploaded these photos to be used, but i again it was ignored

YES the phone makes phone calls, there were even detailed pics of the inside wiring showing that the phone is using the PSP Battery!
