    Reminds me of my old N-Gage

    Taking phone calls on that thing was so strange. You had to hold it like you’d hold a sandwich.

      The N-Gage had a bunch of bizarre design decisions.

      The game cartridge slot was behind the battery - swapping games required disassembling the phone.

      The revised QD version fixed a lot of the mistakes but it was too little too late by then.
