The phone-botherers over at Recombu have cottoned onto the fact that there’s not a single perfect phone built for gaming on. Not even the iPhone, regardless of what the advertising tells us. So they’ve created a Nokia concept, the Orion.
Like N-Gage 3.0 – but actually looking halfway decent – the Orion concept would be aimed at hardcore gamers who feel like smashing their heads against a brick wall every time they play Klondike on a BlackBerry or Bejeweled on Windows Mobile. It’s a heartfelt plea from those who remember the Nokia N-Gage glory days, and who realise there’s a major gap in the market waiting to be snapped up.
Check out the video concept below. [Recombu]

Tuesday, February 2, 2010 at 8:19 AMWhy on earth would the world need a ‘Gaming phone?’
Games should always be a secondary feature on phones as there are much better more specialised product to satisfy one’s crave for portable gaming.
If you were to create a gaming phone all you would end up is with a sub-par gaming hand-held with a sub-par phone inside it.
