Remember the Sony Ericsson PSP Phone reported by Stuff magazine last year? It certainly took a long while to confirm the rumor of a Sony PSP phone, but it's finally debunked. As it turns out, the sleek and heavenly-looking PSP Phone shown in the magazine was nothing more than a mock-up. Ah, that certainly smashed our hopes to pieces.

Kudos goes to Stuff magazine, of course. What they had was a very well-made mock-up, with a crisp 480 x 272 screen, and an analog stick not unlike those found in existing Sony PlayStation Portables. It being UMD-less and utilizing the M2 slot instead for games are a nice touch as well.

It's a pretty nice package, but it's a pity that it isn't real. Well, we can always hope for the real thing, can't we?
