Joyda: Look on Aftonbladet\'s site if you dont beleve me. (www.aftonbladet.se and look on the IT section) Even SuperPlay (swedish game mag) reported it, so its true.
Maybe its a new handheld "console" like the GB or maybe its a new Cell phone with games, I dont know. The project is still very secret.
Hmm, maybe my bro knows. He works at Ericsson :D

I\'m a big handheld fan.

 I have a gbc w/ a Bung Doctor GB Xchanger and a couple of games, right now. (I\'m going to sell it for money for Gba soon)

 But, I can\'t wait for the gba to come out. The power of a Super Nintendo (even more) in a handheld! I\'m thinking of playing Super Metroid Advanced, the new Zelda, Castlevania, Mario Kart, F-Zero, etc... all on a handheld (possibly with internet stuff, too). All of those SNES on a handheld (plus new games, of course).

 Pretty much any other handheld is going to be crushed by it. There are already a few other companies coming out with ones, and its pretty safe to say that they\'ll become NUONs and Indreamas of the handheld market.

Nokia is the biggest and Ericsson 2nd and Moto 3rd but it\'s really close between Moto and Ericsson.Ericsson has greatly improved their cellphones since they intridused their T28 series better menu system etc..
But Nokia continues to have the best cellphones around I absolutly love my 8210..79 grams of goodness;):D
And Sam I agree the menu system on Motorola\'s is horrible to say the least.

Now is this thing a Cell phone with games on it or a handheld console that you can make phone calls with? There IS a difference.

I like handhelds but really I don\'t trust Ericsson in that subject!

They have no experience at all in game-business, so that must be a ho-hum rumor.

GBA is my choice all over Ericsson\'s \'Boy; even if Ericsson\'s \'Boy would be better in graphical push.

Wich will have more developers? Weeeeeelll... that\'s really worth a *think* eh?

Sony didn\'t have any experience in gaming before the PSX, so I guess Ericsson could pull it of too. I\'d like to hear more about the project though, before saying too much about it - because I don\'t think they would have a chance if their product was aiming directly for GBA.
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAPETIME!
(thanks Chizzy!)

Ericsson pulling it off?

I\'d like to see that.

But if the handheld survives and sells well then Nokia\'ll have to make up one too. The race is tough between those two.

I still remember when Nokia made boots :)

Who here remembers this?



this was Tiger electronics lame attempt at trying to dethrone the gameboy a few years back... they had tons of ads on TV for this thing..... it really sucked... they even had a Duke Nukem game on it which i believe blowed chunks.....

you can\'t mess with the pros... Nintendo is a pro... who cares if Nintendo\'s product is technically inferior to Ericssons\'s..... you just can\'t compete.... this is like Maytag trying to compete with Boeing to make rockets and space stuff.....

I think Nokia has more gaming experiance than Ericsson I mean c\'mon the graphics in snake were a heck of alot better than the graphics in Tetris and Snake was running at a solid 60 frames per second:D
