Reminds me of my old N-Gage

Taking phone calls on that thing was so strange. You had to hold it like you'd hold a sandwich.

You hold your sandwiches like this? Weirdo…

The N-Gage had a bunch of bizarre design decisions.

The game cartridge slot was behind the battery - swapping games required disassembling the phone.

The revised QD version fixed a lot of the mistakes but it was too little too late by then.
