Seeing Tony Hawk on the ngage for the first time blew my mind.

That phone could have been something if they hadn't botched the game cartridge thing. And the screen ratio. And the speakers. And the buttons.

Gizmondo doesn't have a single title worth playing on it, which is impressive in its own way. Meanwhile, I can think of a few for N-Gage:

The Elder Scrolls Travels: Shadowkey
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater
Xanadu Next
Super Monkey Ball
The King of Fighters Extreme
Crash Nitro Kart
Snakes
SSX Out of Bounds

Generally N-Gage has solid third-party support to fall back on, although actually playing these games with that D-pad is a whole other story.

Hi. I wanna play you something.

unfortunatrly by the time we discovered Jay Solano Id already replaced it with a new phone

I do still have it, but the screen is shattered real bad because I did a cool dodge roll with it in my pocket

Some streamers I watch did a playthrough recently of the N-Gage software library, and they came away pleasantly surprised. Obviously playing it on an emulator removes a lot of issues, but for a handheld system in 2003, the games were pretty technically impressive.

At least watch the first 20 seconds or so of the vid below to see Jay Solano's amazing run cycle (not sure if this is an emulation issue or not)

The Gizmondo was further overshadowed when Swedish press revealed criminal pasts of several executives, causing their resignations including Tiger Telematics CEO Carl Freer. Director of Gizmondo Europe Stefan Eriksson was involved in a Swedish criminal organisation, the "Uppsalamaffian" (the Uppsala mafia).

The Game.com makes the Gizmondo look like the N-Gage.

basically exactly that. It may have been in my back pocket at the time, so the butt-to-ground contact did the damage

I never had any of them (Game.com being the third). For its many, many faults, N-Gage at least had a product. Gizmondo, less so. Game.com looked like it had potential, but from what I heard it was a Tiger Electronics product through and through.

Not only was there criminality in their past, but the business itself was very likely a money laundering front.
