The N-Gage looks to be the most unplayable hideous handheld I've ever seen.

Am I REALLY supposed to not "accidentily hit the wrong button" while playing the monstrosity?!

[Mr. NEStalgia]

Well, the 5 and the 7 buttons are red, and I suppose that means their the only ones you would use in the game...like just the a and b buttons. I think it's pretty cool to see a video game/cell phone combo!

Still, that's too many buttons. Haven't anyone learned from Jaguar?

Not all gamers would take the time to look for the right button, and unless each one feels different hitting the wrong button will happen. What's to keep me from accidently dialing long distance to a japanese porn line? LOL I see another Neo Geo Pocket on the horizon.

Jeez, it looks like a Gameboy Advance and a Nokia cell phone had a child! O_O

I greatly prefer too many buttons to not enough. This thing may actually have a decent Street Fighter game at some point.

The 5 and 7 buttons are raised, so you can feel the difference from the other buttons.

I wonder how much you'd really need the computer stuff, they don't support OSX.2, leaving me out in the cold. Hell, i was looking to switch providers and get a new phone anyways.

[Sylentwulf]

Well, I suppose if it's "free with 2 years sevice" and it's about time to renew my cell phone, I WOULD get one, but they better keep that thing VERY cheap.

Last I heard it would retail for 200 bucks or so. The only game of interest that's coming out for it in my opinion is the Sonic N game, and that's just a port of Sonic Advance as I understand it.

[Sylentwulf]

heh, With the GBA Coming out with a cell phone attachment, there's no way in hell $200 is gonna cut it in the U.S. Might do good in Japan though.

you have got to be kidding me..

"Sorry Mom, I wanted to jump but hit the pre-set dial"

[maxlords]

I hope that thing crashes and burns....it's ugly as sin, way too expensive, and it just LOOKS too complex. Bleah.

If you think that's the worst,you gotta see the Tiger R-zone.I can't believe how bad it was and i bought it.The games stunk so terribly it was hard to see what you were playing on r-zone.Good thing Tiger stop making R-zones and games for it.

[Bratwurst]

They didn't learn their lesson after that one though, they had to go and put out the Game.com. :D
