Hurbo PSP - The Real Phony PSP Phone
13May2008 Filed under: 3G, Breaking News, GSM, Handsets, Sony Ericsson Author: ghengis
Here it goes folks, the much rumored PSP Mobile Phone BUT it is not manufactured by Sony Ericsson rather by some Chinese producer who named the device Hurbo PSP. Probably wanting to sound like “Turbo”, the real-fake PSP phone doesn’t look bad and with more attention to details it could have actually passed as a device made by Sony Ericsson.
If you take a look at the pictures, the Hurbo PSP features a dual-sliding design and has both an alphanumeric keypad and a gaming pad – exactly like the PSP phone that Sony Ericsson is rumored to work on. This Chinese Hurbo PSP phones measures 100 x 46 x 18 millimeters and weighs 102 grams – not much for a handset that works both as a phone and as a mini-console for games. Also the Hurbo PSP phone has some nice features as well.
- 2.8 inch display with 240 x 400 pixels and 16 million colors
- NES emulator, allowing users to play Nintendo games (although this is surely not approved by Nintendo)
- Video player with support for AVI, MP4 and 3GP
- Music player
- FM radio
- USB port and microSD card slot for boosting the internal (unknown) memory.
The pricing and availabilty is still unknown at this moment. Overall its an ‘A’ grade fake phone. Also i was wondering, if the fake PSP phone is this good , how good the real Sony Ericsson PSP phone will be ??

I bought the phone on ebay, and received it from China today. Works perfectly with any other SIM, Hutchinson 3 is exception (oh, my my, old news…). It’s been really fun checking out the phone. The display is alright, it plays good quality videos and also sound is really good. I also played Mario on the phone, worked fine as well. So far i have only one concern but I hope it is temporary - i have to get used to tiny buttons (I’m used to Sony Ericsson’s Z610i that are really HUGE), also when writing text messages I am confused how to switch between capital letters and small letters. I love the fact that the phone comes with 2 batteries and SD mini memory card which I can extend up to 2GB. Real A+++ phone, even though you people call it fake.
Oh, and Lisa, check with your Network if you can use your SIMcard in other phones rather than the ones they’ve approved. Might be the same problem as we Brits with 3 network.

Yes these are a great phone, i am in Australia and my wife bought one on ebay from China, just put our sim card in and works great, nice finish, excellent sound ( louder and clearer than my Sony K500i) sharp pictures/videos and comes with 2 batteries and for $130 delivered at our door a real bargain, would like to buy another one but they have been removed from ebay.
