|Nokia's attempt at making a cell phone/handheld system hybrid, before mobile gaming really took off. Although it was the most powerful handheld in its time and released in October 2003, it failed due to a high price, a terrible button layout, numerous design flaws, and its underdeveloped cell phone component. Had a redesign called the QD, but it was only slightly better. Most of its games were ports, either from the GBA or from the PS1 and Saturn. While it didn't have any standout titles, it still had a few odd original entries from big franchises such as Elder Scrolls Travels: Shadowkey and SSX: Out of Bounds, and was the only system to have an English version of Xanadu Next (before the 2016 global re-release for Windows PCs). In 2019, an emulator called EKA2L1 started development. EKA2L1 currently supports a few N-Gage games. [[Cellphone_emulators#N-Gage_(Nokia)|Other modern open source emulators]] are in the works.

|Released only in Japan on late 2001, the P/ECE was a greyscale mobile gaming platform that allows user to download games via USB or infrared port. Developed by Aquaplus, well known for their work on visual novels and eroge. It has an "open source" philosophy similar to the GP32 at that time. In terms of specs P/ECE comes above the PocketStation and below the Game Boy. It actually had a moderately vibrant homebrew scene that still makes games on it to this day. There's an emulator made in SDL2 called [https://github.com/autch/piemu Piemu] and a [http://www.piece-me.org/ japanese homebrew community website]. The [https://aquaplus.jp/piece/ official website] is still up. [https://blog.gingerbeardman.com/2021/08/19/aquaplus-piece-vs-panic-playdate/ Overview and some game reviews].

|This infamous Game & Watch clone was originally released sometime between late 2004 and 2006 by an Unknown Chinese Manufacturer, the first few modals had a selection of four games and each system only had one built-in game, meaning you would need to buy four of them to get all the games available, later models used interchangeable cartridges. itIt's unknown if these later models are were made by the same manufacturer that made original systems or if theirs other companies making clones. It's unknown how many units have been sold so far.
