While the rest of the world is still waiting for the PSP phone (June 14th?), phone manufacturers in China are already making game-centric handsets. Lately, we’ve spotted two GIONEE devices – S20 and V9, that promise to bring the good ol’ NES games right to the palms of your hand.

GIONEE S20, V9

The GIONEE S20 is a slider phone with the hidden numeric keypad, that also packs a 2 MP camera and a media player. On the other hand, the little more robust V9 sports a 2.2″ touchscreen display and a stylus for text input.

Both devices allow users to play their favorite games in the landscape mode, ensuring the maximum enjoyment. Furthermore, both of them have 128MB of internal memory that can be expanded with the additional microSD memory cards. Finally, TV-Out is present at both devices — meaning you can play games on your TV set. (via: slashphone) :)

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
