I think it'd be really cool if Sony Ericsson released an accessory that was little joystick or gamepad with a few buttons, to play games on. I personally have issues using the joystick on the phone to play games on, so i'd definately buy one, what do others think?

that thing wasn't all that popular. Never saw one personally. The car-100 was way more popular.

Does it work (supported) with the P series ? Definately not possible in the landscape mode. Is there some other g pad/ j stick that supports P series ? May be a moto or another brand ?

they aren't compatible with the new connector so no. The K750, W800 and all phones yet to come will not be compatible with these old gamepads.

And as far as I remember they don't work on the P-series phones either. Only on the older T and Z series phones.

I wouldn't get too excited about a new gamepad. It has been quite some time since they released the old one and it didn't do too well on the market.

Additionally the S600 and the W600 seem to suggest that is planning on making certain phones better at gaming without accessories, while other phones will be sophisticated top end phones not meant for gaming.

i found the egb-10 to be pretty good for what it is, but tbh it's little more than a novelty.
