they both suck. one is a Gameboy knock-off and one is a sidekick knock-off come on these are not new or good designs. How far are we willing to go before our "phones" become glorified PSPs. Honestly, if you are that desperate to game while on the go, get a PSP or a DS and a phone, don't combine both, it is a bad idea!
...dude, you're an Engadget user and you're *against* multi-tasking phones?
Blasphemy!
-----------
What is wrong with a phone specializing in gaming, does it *not* make sense to you? The PSP and DS are so sucessful partly due to their ultra mobility: why not combine a device fitted for mobility with a mobile phone? This, of course, goes with the assumption it is implemented well, which is a distinct possibility given the industry's previous sucesses (e.g.: Sony Ericsson's Walkman and CyberShot lines).
Perhaps you're right, multi-tasking phones just don't work. A phone should just stick to one thing: phone calls. You know, because phones like the Nokia n95 just do *too* much. Why carry that around, when you can carry a phone, camera, music player, GPS navigator (hell, *too* high tech, let's just hire a Viking), and a PDA (...my sentiments exactly, maybe the 'ol pen and pad will suffice)?
