They do, minus the physical control pad (they make Bluetooth controllers for that btw)

They cost around 800-1k I think

the issue with the n-gage is that is was a bad phone and a bad gaming device

its hard to make a bad phone today with android, small/powerful components etc. and this wouldn't be locked down just to play "game-phone games", as it would run android and be compatible with anything on the android store (primarily emulators tho). this would just be a regular phone with controls that you can slide out (think the psp go)

Seriously. I don't care what side of the fence someone is on, if they are a piece of crap, they are a piece of crap.

it does seem kinda weird that no one has made a flagship-tier phone with a slideout keyboard or gamepad yet

Don't need those for a solid gaming phone.

I play Freecell every so often in my free time, so I know what I'm talking about.

i dont think a full fledged keyboard would work because the keys would be too small
10 buttons + 2 circle pads and some shoulder buttons would be fine though
