The PlayStation Phone will be Called XPERIA Play and launches in April

The long rumored Sony Ericsson PlayStation phone will not be announced on CES next month, but on the MWC 11 in February. It will hit the stores in April under the name of XPERIA Play.

According to Sony Ericsson, the PlayStation phone will premiere on the Sunday Sony Ericsson press conference during the MWC in February. It will not be released immediately, but will hit the shelves sometime in April.

It seems Sony Ericsson has registered the XPERIA Play trademark along with various XperiaPlay domains (.com, .net and .org). Its not the reliable info we have been waiting for, but after the rumors about the XPERIA name we are willing to put some fate on these.

It appears that the XPERIA Play will be the big Sony Ericsson announcement on the MWC next year, and you can bet we'll be there gathering as much info as possible about it for you.
