Today, the original Nokia cell phone is more of a fable than a product, but back in 2003, the cell phone market wasn’t yet dominated by a black rectangle, and ingenuity was everywhere.

Which is why the former pulp manufacturer Nokia launched the N-Gage, a cellphone/gaming-device combo, in an effort to take down a little-known company called Nintendo.

And since you’ve probably owned a Game Boy or DS at some point in your life and have never heard of the N-Gage, you probably know who came out on top.

BUT! If you were one of the few who got this for Christmas instead of a Game Boy Advance, you probably know that it had impressive graphics and a killer game selection.

It’s just too bad that pretty much every other aspect of it sucked.
