The PSP Gaming Mobile Phone

This phone actually includes a little bit of everything. It comes with a dual-slider form factor that you've seen included in Samsung's F520 and even Anycall
branding that, up until now, seemed to be included only in Samsung's mobile phones that were available on the Korean market.

The standard keypad has however been replaced with gaming controls. Apparently the device also runs Windows Mobile and has PSP stamped on the back. It isn't a Sony Ericsson phone however, nor a Samsung.

Moreover, it comes with 11 pre-installed Nintendo NES games, but as far as everyone knows, Nintendo hasn't picked up on releasing mobile phones.

Considering that it includes features from several brands, but in the end the device is manufactured by none of those renowned companies, the first thing that pops into one's mind is that this might be a Photoshop product.

In reality, it's not. The handset is just another Chinese phone, but this time, the manufacturing company couldn't settle for borrowing something from just one phone or brand. The phone was dubbed the Anycall Dual Bronde (Blonde?!), was designed mainly for providing a great mobile gaming experience and includes a 3 megapixel camera, 3 inch 260k color QVGA touchscreen and 512MB internal memory.

While it appears to be quite a nice device, it's not really the PSP phone most people had expected. Also, there'll be plenty of reasons for several companies to sue over this phone, so even though it should be available on the market, it probably won't take long until companies like Samsung, Sony Ericsson or Nintendo will make it disappear. The Dual Blonde is currently being sold on Ebay for $200, and with the form factor and features that it includes, many people will probably wish that one of the leading phone companies had thought about releasing something like it.
