If the Vita doubled as a phone would you be more inclined to buy it? I certainly would. Infact I find it rather stupid that Sony did not include this functionality. Discuss

No time for phone calls when playing the best games on that beautiful screen. Just no need.

Hell no. That would probably double the price without selling your soul to a carrier for two years just because it's a phone. Not something I'm willing to put up with for a gaming device, especially since the Vita is hideously expensive as is (mostly because of those proprietary memory cards). Also, I don't want to kill my phone's batteries playing games, or have my gameplay interrupted by random phone calls, SMS messages, and whatnot. Leave the two to their own devices.

If it's that important to you just use Skype. You can get unlimited minutes for like $3 a month and actually get a phone number that people can call and leave voice mails. But since I can do the same thing with my IPhone there's still no need for a Vita.

The joke use to be your putting a taco to the side of your head. And you had to take out the batteries to change games.

They should of made the physical controls detachable to act as a smallish phone. Potential, but too late.

If the Vita was a phone I'd need bigger pants to fit in my pocket.

Except the model in that photo is the QD, which has an easier access cartridge slot and no more side talking (not to mention being smallee, more ergonomic, and having way better controls).

No, I would not. I don't want to carry around something of that size as a phone.

It wouldn't be a handheld anymore, it would just be another Sony phone. I already have a phone.

What I'm saying is that there is a VERY fine line between handheld and phone. When I can talk to friends for free during a game, that's just teamspeak. When I have to pay a provider for a service that usually comes free with the device, that's a phone and I don't want to pay for it. (Which, now that I think about it, they did with the 3G.)

Ngage QD works a lot different from the regular Ngage, its like comparing apples and oranges. Go to Wikipedia and educate yourself please.
