Sony Ericsson better have a very good answer to the question, "Why would we buy this when we can play mobile games on our current Android phones?".

You can be sure it'll run their games, which will be real games, unlike most of the crap floating around the Android market.

Because playing games on a touch screen has a lot of issues, and no physical keyboards out for android are that good for game playing...

Having been involved in this one a little bit, I can safely say that even if their eventual catalog is not stunning, having gamepad controls makes this an excellent phone for emulators like snesoid. ^^ I think the draw here is having "real" controls, which for some types of games just work a lot better than emulating controls with slick touchscreen displays -- which require you to obscure the content your interacting with with your hands and on-screen smudges.
