Nokia, 2005

An awkward-looking hybrid between gaming platform and early-generation smartphone, Nokia's short-lived handheld device is memorable only for its lack of memorable releases. It didn't help matters that the device's best game was a slightly more advanced version of the free game that came preloaded on every Nokia phone.
