PS3 Phone Features Microsoft Operating System & Plays Nintendo Games

Via Ripten:

"That's right folks, wrap your minds around this - a phone that features Playstation buttons, has a Microsoft Windows operating system, and plays Nintendo games. Confused yet? How about the fact that the phone was made in "Koera" - No, that's not a typo, that's what is printed on the phone."

[Vip3r]

What make it that? Seems dodgy to me.

[smart_head]

Do you really think Sony would do this to their phone? That is, call it PS3 Phone, have it run a Microsoft OS, and run Nintendo games on it. I think not. This phone is a local Korean product, just like the many ridiculously designed mini PS3 "consoles" with built-in screen available in many Asian countries.

@Darkiewonder:
If you look carefully at the pic that shows "Made in Koera" the text below it is perhaps Korean? That's what it seems like to me. Can someone confirm?

[Darkiewonder]

no. it's Koera ^^

[TriggerHappy]

That phone up there has no relation to Sony. It is made by a different company which have no relation to Sony.

[Nostradavis]

@Merc,

"That phone up there has no relation to Sony. It is made by a different company which have no relation to Sony."

I did not, nor does my title, ever mention SONY. You are correct, it is made by a different company, and if you read it you would see that your statement makes no sense.

Nostsra-

[wind_dragon]

where is that? lol.
ntw thats chinese type, with what seem like a korean rounded/clean typing style...but the writing is definately chinese.

[artman]

only china can do like this. Korean have higher pride to do something like this.

[monkey nuts]

If you read the article about half way through it informs the reader that the ps3 phone is "very much illegal". Although not reading the article and then posting about it could be viewed as ....criminal ? perhaps..?

[Nostradavis]

Thank you for having common sense Monkey Nuts. Have a bubble and enjoy your Thanksgiving.

[Skerj]

Hah I got an HTC phone (best phones EVER), they can run emus from Windows Mobile 6. KOF and MvC on your phone ftw.

[Bnet343]

but Sony and Microsoft use each other things. Like Sony Vioa computers have Windows OS and MS use I think sony tech in the PC hardware

[Rowe]

just looks like a poor atempt at a scaled down psp

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

I mostly agree... But you have to give it some credit, they have a camera, maintain PS buttons on position, big screen... Is Sony can make something like that, with a touchscreen (even to numbers, don't need number buttons physically) and a UMD driver (I still prefer my games on physic media, and would be compatible with PSP games anyway) without make it bigger, it's after all some good design.

But yes, hardware configuration straight, this is a very toned down rip off...

[Kratchet]

Wasn't this dismissed by Sony?

[Gothdom]

yes, it was, and this must be like one of those fake psp and ps3's

POP station! http://www.youtube.com/watc...

edit: nope, even the popstation is crappier than this phone.

[Nostradavis]

Kratchet,

This is not an official Sony phone. It is a hack that was made in China, and capable of doing things that no Sony phone would ever do, i.e. run Windows and play Nintendo games.

They ***k around too much and its disgusting that they try so hard to make bootleg products and are happy about it.

They're not even close to Japans level. They want to be so much like Japan.

What kind of mentality do they have? Its sickening.

[B Man]

But China has EVERYTHING else.

[stevenhiggster]

Like what? child labour and rice?

[B Man]

and look at practically every product in the US and tell me where they hail from.

[guerojose]

Yet another internet scrap with a deliberately misleading title, which gets far too much traffic.

This has nothing to do with Sony or the PS3.

<ignore=ON>

[Nostradavis]

No problem. I'll ignore you too you little whiny b!$ch...learn how to read. The title does not mention Sony and the phone has PS3 stamped on it. This is not misleading, you are just a moron.

[guerojose]

Hahaha! I see... YOU'RE the d1ckless wonder who posted this crap. That would explain the venom in your responses to this thread.

Nice try, though. Keep trawling the internet, and I'm sure you can tie Sony and the PS3 to world hunger.

"Wheee! Look at me! I posted something CONTROVERSIAL, and got people to react. Yay me!"

Smooches!

[solar]

wow, what are fanboys gonna argue about with this phone? all 3 are supported... :D

[The Panther]

this is evidence of the one console future, excellsior!

[Xi]

a piece of hardware with, good software, good hardware, and good games.

[Coffin87]

i think it's FAKE or some BS which the writer of this article just didn't find a deeper sense in.

[goldenzealot]

stupid sony is still stealing of other systems even on there smaller products. Why cant they just get there own stuff for once in there miserable failing lives?

[guerojose]

Ya see, now that's the kinda reaction that "Nostradavis" was hoping to get. Make the title sound like this is actually a Sony product using MS software, and playing nintendo games, and whammo! - you've pressed everybody's buttons. And you can count on plenty of idiot Sony-haters like "goldenzealot" who lack the ability to read or think critically, and next thing you know your little stir-up-the-pot post has reached 710 degrees - woo-hoo!

[Nostradavis]

@guerojose

I bet you are that guy that says "so you are saying I have a chance" when a girl tells you she would only consider dating you if you were the last man on earth. It is pretty easy for someone like you to be lead a stray, and that is not my fault.

[Bad_Karma]

goldenzealot ..that has to be the most retarded sentence i`ve seen on this site in ages ... you have just taken TheMARTS stupid crown away from him in less than 30 words ...well done

[BloodySinner]

Interesting.

[TheXgamerLive]

.

[Cutter20]

Obviously a knock-off! You can tell that in two seconds.

[KidMakeshift]

So it's kinda like the PS3's retarded cousin

[vidoardes]

Such A ridiculoiusly old story, how the hell di dthis get to 1000 degrees?!!!

[Crazyglues]

everybody was thinking it was a real sony phone... -why this got approved - only god knows. -The approval system might need some tweaking.

[guerojose]

Hahahaha! That's classic!

Nostradavis: "What? I never said this was "news", I just thought I was doing the world a service by posting something old to make it sound new and controversial. I never said that Sony made this phone. All I said was that it's a PS3 phone. If you can't tell the difference then you're a poopy-head who could never get a date with a girl. So neener-neener, haha made you read it! And I'm on the front page of N4G - I am immortal!"

Sorry, I wasn't "lead astray" by your crap for one nanosecond, Dumas; it just wasn't nearly that clever. I see you got a few people to buy it, though. Keep trawlin', maybe you can bring us something from 2003 next time.

[Lumbo]

Wow, the very definition of OLD. Do we have a "Trademark piracy and crap" section on N4G already ?

What a waste of everybody's time ...
