carmatic Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 haha i like the way this is going. instead of making thephones work faster and be able to play good games, they are makeing handheld devices be able to make calls and be phones. this is sweet... can't wait till my gameboy color gets a simcard extension and pokymon is back in style. its not necessarily a phone just because it has a sim card... my 3g modem has a sim card which doesnt allow calls, altho it does text messages this thing here doesnt even have a keypad or anything so i dont think it will really be doing text messages either i think what it probably is , its just a way to get dlc over the air... all you do is press a button to allow it to access the network and maybe choose which access point you want to use if its not already configured in the sim card... could be done easily with the controls that it has Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironman273 Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 Anyone with a set of eyes can tell that's fake. No, I've seen that Dell keyboard. It looks just like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draconian Guppy Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 lol thos pics look so fake.... But anyway I think a portable game console + phone would be overkill on battery duration :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chasethebase Reporter Posted May 21, 2009 Reporter Share Posted May 21, 2009 Portable phone + game console has been done, and it didn't work, so if this is true.....well I think we know the answer to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman273 Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Portable phone + game console has been done, and it didn't work, so if this is true.....well I think we know the answer to that. Let me start off by saying that I'm not comparing this "thing" to an iPhone, but that's a phone that plays games pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkose Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Let me start off by saying that I'm not comparing this "thing" to an iPhone, but that's a phone that plays games pretty well. Chasethebase is surely referring to the Nokia N-Gage, which was touted as a combination mobile phone and portable game system. It didn't do either task particularly well, and failed to sell well enough to stay on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji@nBing Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Not only does it look totally fake, but the main clue is no dual analogue. If it's going to support XBLA games, wouldn't it need dual analogue? How would you play Geometry Wars with a d-pad and face buttons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't do either task particularly well, and failed to sell well enough to stay on the market. and also, this zunex cannot be implied to be a phone just because it has a sim card slot... there are plenty of gadgets out there which use cellular connectivity without actually being a phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
