Another poor choice in a series of bad decisions by Nokia.

I worked on a game for the N-Gage. It used a really, really shitty fork of Eclipse as a dev environment. Took years off my life, I swear.

I kinda miss the wild west days of phone design in the early-mid 2000s before smartphones became the norm and everything just turned into featureless rectangles.

It's literally a tech-goatse. It even has the ring.

I bought it back in the days, because it was the cheapest Symbian phone i could get. No real usability for gamers. Switching it off, opening the body, changing the memory card, closing and restarting it. Weird. It wa sonly usable with illegal copied games.

Putting the screen in portrait instead of landscape was certainly a choice.
