PSP phone spotted - called Sony Ericsson Z1?

The much-reported Sony Ericsson PSP phone has been likely spotted on a spy video in Greece, and could see a different name to the one expected.

While many thought the Sony Ericsson would adopt the PSP phone moniker, Techblog.gr has taken a spy video of the device in action and is claiming that it will actually be called the Sony Ericsson Z1.

The video shows someone using a device that looks very similar to the 4-inch Android phone shown off by Engadget, despite not ever being slid open to unveil the gaming keys.

To PSP or not to PSP?

The shape and button layout is very close to that shown off previously, but lest we forget that the Asian markets are highly adept at turning round knock-off designs very quickly, and this could be nothing more than that, especially given the blurry video on offer.

But assuming this is the real deal (which would put that 9 December unveiling date in a much more favourable light) then it seems the new phone will be one of the launch Android 2.3/Gingerbread devices.
