The guys found and dumped a DRM-free Glimmerati prototype. The cracked version of this prototype works perfectly on S60v2. Color fixing is no longer required, Bluetooth doesn't need to be enabled, and its settings are no longer corrupted. Great news!

In next episode of #ObviousMíša we will look at the horrid #UX of #landscape keyboards on #iOS (Android is the same).

In what universe is it a good idea to just streeeetch the keyboard across whole screen and kill 90% of the real estate?

You don’t even need to do any design magic there. Look up ancient #Nokia #Ngage and copy what they did.

The N-Gage came up in conversation on Discord yesterday, which prompted me to take a new Side-talkin' pic!

Nokian historiaan mahtuu kaikenlaista – ja pelirintamalla muutakin kuin yksi epäonnistunut pelipuhelin. Nokia kehitti vuosien mittaan monenlaisia peli- ja pelikoneprototyyppejä, joista meille esitelmöi aiheeseen syvälle uppoutunut tutkija Heikki Jungman.

Got myself a working Taco Phone - Nokia N-Gage (NEM-4), released in 2003. Original model feels more ergonomic and easier to use than later Nokia N-Gage QD, but it is required to turn the device off and remove battery to replace game card

Okay, so hear me out

SSX Out of Bounds was released on the N-Gage "exclusively", but was later ported to the Gizmondo as SSX 3, even though both are *kinda* a portable version of SSX3. Unlike the GBA version of SSX 3, which doesn't have much to do with SSX 3?

Anyway I'm losing my mind and I'm going to try and make a comparison video of the N-Gage and Gizmondo versions of the same game with different names

Nokia N-Gage
(2003)
Siekiant konkuruoti su „Nintendo Game Boy Advance“ pristatomas revoliucinis hibridinis įrenginys, sujungiantis mobilųjį telefoną ir nešiojamą žaidimų konsolę. Tai buvo pirmasis telefonas optimizuotas žaidimams su 3D grafika, stereo garsu ir multiplayer per Bluetooth ar internetą (N-Gage Arena).

Symbian OS 6.1, TFT 2.1 colio ekranas (176x208 pikselių, 4096 spalvos), 104 MHz ARM procesorius, 3.4 MB atmintis (plėčiama MMC kortele), VGA kamera (0.3 MP), GPRS ryšys, Bluetooth 1.1, FM radijas, baterija 850 mAh (4 val. žaidimų, 200 val. budėjimo), 137 g svoris, dydis 134 x 70 x 20 mm.

Nepaisant pastangų sukurti specialius game-play mygtukus ir pritraukti garsius žaidimų pavadinimus, N-Gage nesugebėjo sujungti abiejų pasaulių. Skambinant telefoną reikėjo laikyti šonu prie ausies, todėl vartotojai jį ironiškai praminė „Taco Phone“.
