I'd call the N-Gage an experiment. If pressed, I would classify it as a game console with cell phone functionality tacked on. I seem to recall that they used the games as the selling point and the phone was sort of a bonus. You didn't have to use it as a phone, but you could. The Iphone, on the other hand, is a swiss army knife that can do many things but is primarily advertised as a phone and therefore not a game console.
