PlayStation Phone to be called the Xperia Play?

Trademark filings don’t necessarily translate into final product names, but folks have noticed a Sony Ericsson EU trademark registration for the Xperia Play and the company’s PR firm has registered various Xperia Play domain names, such as XperiaPlay.com, .net, and .org. Truth be told, the Xperia Play doesn’t sound like a bad name for the PlayStation Phone, though the PlayStation branding would be very useful too. With CES just around the corner, hopefully we’ll be able to find out something about the phone then.

Update: This will be unveiled not at CES next month, but at Mobile World Congress that is happening in Barcelona next February.
