Got VoIP?

A VoIP client does not a mobile phone make!

It would be awesomely lame if their 'mobile phone' was just a VoIP client.

Firstly, you would only be able to call in the vicinity of a WiFi hotspot, which limits any chance of calling to being in cities, or near houses in suburbia.

Secondly, in cities, a lot of hotspots will either be by businesses in which case they will nearly definatly be secured and inpenatratable, or they will be coming from coffee houses and McDonalds in which case you will have to buy credit in order to browse the net, or make VoIP calls. Which would suck, since it would be very unpredictable, there are a load of WiFi hotspot franchises around, T-Mobile, BT etc... so you would need credit for each one and there are a lot of companies who operate their own wifi hotspots and you can only use the credit within their hotspot, so you would have to buy credit which you could only use for that hotspot.

In conclusion, VoIP would be a huge dissapointment, to having a mobile phone intergrated into the PSP.

What I think they will do is make an addon for the PSP which has mobile phone hardware.

That is the exact idea actually, its pretty much says that in most the reviews I'ved read, WI-FI mobile phone, thats just complicated and ridiculous.

That is almost 2 year old news :/.

I think the mobile phone idea is just stupid, the camer on the other hand is a very good adition i hope they release it soon and it is a 5 MP one

my m8s got one of them.

they're out tomorrow, in the UK yano (assuming your from the UK) I ordered mine from the US, The US rules, they get everything before the UK, thats unfair.

It is unfair
As for the whole phone debate, mobile phones should stay being phones (though keep SMS). The PSP on the other hand is a mobile entertainment centre. So, unless you dial those dodgy numbers in the back of dodgy magazines, phoning doesn't really fit the PSP.

IMO, phone for phoning, PSP for entertainment.

Edit: That way you can do both at the same time

NO, see the thing is, then they would both be on separate devices.
To have everything on one device is the advanatage, rather than carrying loadsa different devices around at once.
