:picard-annoyed: Cell phones based on Star Trek tech
:picard-excited: Cellphones based on goatse
I had one. It was a pretty good phone, despite its shortcomings. Great sound for the time, very good screen, built like every other Nokia. The games were expensive as hell, but my dad was able to buy an MMC card with the entire N-Gage catalog in a tianguis for about $50. The worst part was doing voice calls, but as an introvert tween in the mid-00s, I didn’t have to do a lot of those.
I always thought this thing looked so cool, and now I know why
It had to compete with the gameboy advance, and then the DS and PSP. Everyone made fun of it
I mean psp got memed on a bit, but at least it was an actual dedicated console backed by an established publisher.
The PSP was also the first smartphone, or at least you could use it as one. Few people realized it at the time, but you could use it the way we use phones nowadays. Dude at my highschool sold them loaded with pirated shit on them.
I had one of these passed down to me. Prince of Persia was just as laggy as ever, but the 'gamepad' was okay. All I really remember doing with it was making custom ringtones.
