Alex Krycek you know 170m is pennies to Amazon. Their revenue will hit 800bill this year. That’s like if i had 100 bucks and tossed out 2 cents. Lol come on now.
N-gage was a huge flex, and the design was honestly pretty good. I remember seeing someone play tomb raider on it and thinking wow this is some alien tech.
I liked my Ngage but they put the screen the wrong way round and designed it so you couldn't hold it flat to your head when you were making calls so you looked like an idiot. it was a pretty decent phone and with some messing with the OS you could do some good stuff with it.
@@adilammarbaig Also late to the Windows party. I think both would have survived if they went with Windows quicker. Plus, they had another great OS on their hands: Maemo/Meego. They just stuck with Symbian for some reason.
They went from number 1 mobile phone company in the world to the grave yard in no time, probably no other company in any market ever managed something like that.
Great video as always. Also Hi5 from India, I was so frustrated at that time when I could not place an order for 4$ phone, later came to know they lied and scammed and felt good actually, for not placing order by paying 251 INR. Thanks Dagogo sir.
I remembered when I heard about it from my friends at work, it had 8GB storage and was cheaper than 8GB memory stick🤣, but I admit that I registered it just to use it as a memory stick
I remember Vertu being a huge failure. They sold insanely overpriced phones for what they were and then fell into bankruptcy, and collapsed. I would really like to see you do a video on that company
They were never meant to be a phone company. It was more like a jewelry company. People (albeit not a lot of people) did buy them before iPhone came around. Not as big of a failure as you’d think. They had a great clientele of some of the richest people in the world when people didn’t need a new phone and camera every year because they just used phones to text and talk. Vertu also provided personal assistant services with the push of a button. That was a very popular feature.

N gage was HUGE in my country. Me and all of my friends have it. I use it from 2004 to 2011. It's my longest lasting phone to this day. What a cool machine
I had the n-gage too, this is news to me that it was a failure , it was one of my favorite phones and lasted a while with me so did some of my friends.
I remember when in 4th grade, me and friends were talking about PSP and I mentioned the NGAGE and one of them said “NGAGE? That thing looks like it’s from when the pioneers were born!” 😂😂😂 I’ll never forget that ps: we were learning about the pioneers in US history.
Never understood that Amazon picture an item and buy it off Amazon feature... If its already right in front of me for sale, why the hell would i get it off Amazon and wait 2 days for it??
@@fhm4 Even in that situation I would just ask my friend "Where did you get that?", not take a picture of it like I planned on robbing their house later.
Currently, Amazon has a similar app, that can use photo recognition and/or a barcode scanner, to allow people to scan products in shops and see if they're cheaper at Amazon. In this way, we can go window shopping (handy for clothes, and other items we don't feel confident just ordering "blindly" online) and then we can order them from Amazon later. I'm sure most of us have five something similar, even if it's just by going to Amazon's website on our phones to check prices while at a physical shop.
@@primalconvoy I avoid checking a product in physical store and then buying it online. It feels wrong and is just not fair for the physical stores. They need to pay rent, staff, present the product and deal with shoplifters. I'm ok with paying a bit more in physical shop because of that, especially when buying clothes or shoes.

Ok, so I got to test and use the KIN phone for a previous job many years ago. I actually really liked it, and I think it might have gained some ground if it weren't for their data pricing structure. The phone wasn't a smartphone, so it didn't have a full OS or apps. But it did have internet features, so you needed a data plan. You could pay $30 a month for data on a full-fledged smartphone or for a niche feature phone. It just didn't make sense, making the KIN DOA. But it was a useful phone, had some awesome features, and a great keyboard. And yes, RIP, Windows Phone. Still my favorite mobile OS to this day, and I will die on that hill. :D
I got my entire family on the Kin 2 as a transition from flip phones but before we could afford smartphones. I still have those phones laying around in my old phones bin.
What's funny is that we always look for a justified reason for why something failed, but then we have products like the Windows phone that failed simply due to bad lack and being a little too late to the party...
I still remember seeing the 7280 in a shop display when it was new and being blown away by how cool it was. At the end of the day function was totally unimportant for that phone, it was just an awesome looking toy.
You make a really good point about that dot on the Kin. A scrap book where you can store everything you like is a great idea. And yes, not necessarily for sharing just having the content for yourself. That's a great idea.
Ngage was my first phone ever.. I loved it so much for one reason.. I could play THPS2 on it at anytime i wanted.. For kid me, thats all i needed in the world.. good times... I still to this day cant play that game on anything.. it used to be for phones but never got updated so it does not work anymore..
I remember I played tony hawk pro skater all day on n-gage and it had one of the best quality music player at that time, I loved it a lot, never thought it was a failure
I actually love how the Serene looks and would've loved to get one- but only as curiosity and only if I was rich enough to have money to spare on extra phones. Doesn't really look like the kind of phone that would be able to take a lot of usage.
No IBM Simon, the first smartphone? It was so bad all but a few models were crushed after the one year lease expired. They weren't sold and the very few out in the wild were "redirected" on their way to the recycler.
It wasn''t that bad of a flop compared to the rest of the phones on this list. It still received updates until this year and the phone itself wasn't particularity bad after updates but its launch given the hype at the time was one of the most disappointing launch ever for a phone.

Wow. Every coldfusion video has been promoted in my feed as soon as it was uploaded.... except this one. I only knew it existed because you mentioned it in the Wire card video.
No mention of the IBM Simon? IBM only leased them and after the first year recalled them all to be recycled. Only a few managed to survive. They must of lost many millions on that one.
The kin was by far the worst phone ever concocted. It was bad for users and even worse for those of us who had to troubleshoot them over the phone with said users. And one of its most hilarious "features" was the box of recycled cardboard each one came in that "doubled as a stand." Huge eye roll.
I loved the n-gage, not for its gaming, but for stereo audio with a standard audio port, mini-USB without drivers or the nokia software, and the amount of software it packed into the hardware. The two-handed style also made it awesome for huge amounts of typing and navigating around. It was the first phone that worked as a computer replacement for me. And the audio quality with its hardware based MP3 playback was out of the world for its time!
I really liked the Samsung Galaxy Beam, but from the launch, it never really felt like Samsung believed in it the way they believed in the Samsung Wave (BadaOS) or the S series. I was quite fascinated by it.
Exactly..me too. The idea of some projection capability is very appealing to me. They probably didn't believe in it enough but the idea itself I find very practical.
I had Verizon at the time the Kin came out and I was so mad that they did that instead of getting the iPhone. It’s funny because Verizon was and still is the most expensive of the wireless carriers. I think they started going away from unlimited data plans around that time, too. I was happy to see the Kin fail, it looked so awkward.
I had fond memories with N-gage phone back in middle school. It was hit back then, and since i had no other console it was pretty fun to play with. But yeah i've never used it for calling since it was so awkward
i had a windows phone. i'd be listening to music, then get an sms, the music would stop and the screen goes active and the thing goes mental, trying to bankrupt you before you have time to fish it out your pocket. It was too hot to pick up, had a battery life measured in seconds and frequently forgot what it was doing. Finding anything in the menu system was impossible and you'd get phone rage.. but enough about the features
*ColdFusion, one of the honorable mentions should have been the design flaw in the IPhone 6 where it could bend. The product was nice but the fact that it could bend so easily was a major early flaw into a flagship product.*
Symbian OS and the Nokia Ngage original were the bomb back in the day! I had a 3650's, a couple Ngage's and of course an Ngage QC at the end! Using standard SD cards to store the games allowed us to simply copy and paste all the game files instead of hacking DRM! Imagine an entity releasing a game or other software without any security or copy protection...

No mention of the IBM Simon? IBM only leased them and after the first year recalled them all to be recycled. Only a few managed to survive. They must of lost many millions on that one.
Man, your channel is nothing but quality. Top notch.
Can't beat the good old red public phone box . Very spacious inside too .
Thing with freedom 251 is they got pre-orders then asked government to subsidize the project
ngage is really good man, ngage makes me fall in love with sonic and rayman
The kin was by far the worst phone ever concocted. It was bad for users and even worse for those of us who had to troubleshoot them over the phone with said users. And one of its most hilarious "features" was the box of recycled cardboard each one came in that "doubled as a stand." Huge eye roll.
My classmate legit made a presentation using her Galaxy Beam. Shit was cool.
I loved the n-gage, not for its gaming, but for stereo audio with a standard audio port, mini-USB without drivers or the nokia software, and the amount of software it packed into the hardware. The two-handed style also made it awesome for huge amounts of typing and navigating around. It was the first phone that worked as a computer replacement for me. And the audio quality with its hardware based MP3 playback was out of the world for its time!
I really liked the Samsung Galaxy Beam, but from the launch, it never really felt like Samsung believed in it the way they believed in the Samsung Wave (BadaOS) or the S series. I was quite fascinated by it.
Exactly..me too. The idea of some projection capability is very appealing to me. They probably didn't believe in it enough but the idea itself I find very practical.
Blackberry - Their ignorance to touchscreen phones, and practically laughing at the iPhone brought them down. I'm surprised they weren't on here
There also was the Galaxy Camera. A mix between a mirrorless dslr and a smartphone.
I had Verizon at the time the Kin came out and I was so mad that they did that instead of getting the iPhone. It’s funny because Verizon was and still is the most expensive of the wireless carriers. I think they started going away from unlimited data plans around that time, too. I was happy to see the Kin fail, it looked so awkward.
the crazy phones at the end made my day :)
I had fond memories with N-gage phone back in middle school. It was hit back then, and since i had no other console it was pretty fun to play with. But yeah i've never used it for calling since it was so awkward
PSA: The swastika is an ancient religious symbol in India. No the swastika on the Buddha phone isn’t a Nazi swastika.
i had a windows phone. i'd be listening to music, then get an sms, the music would stop and the screen goes active and the thing goes mental, trying to bankrupt you before you have time to fish it out your pocket. It was too hot to pick up, had a battery life measured in seconds and frequently forgot what it was doing. Finding anything in the menu system was impossible and you'd get phone rage.. but enough about the features
5:50 the 8 year old me wants to own that phone , I remember I'm always watch Power Ranger before 😅
LMAO That Kyocera Echo was slow as hell during the launch event.
*ColdFusion, one of the honorable mentions should have been the design flaw in the IPhone 6 where it could bend. The product was nice but the fact that it could bend so easily was a major early flaw into a flagship product.*
6:47 camera on the hinge. Wtf 😂😂
this was before selfies became a narcissistic trend
Symbian OS and the Nokia Ngage original were the bomb back in the day! I had a 3650's, a couple Ngage's and of course an Ngage QC at the end! Using standard SD cards to store the games allowed us to simply copy and paste all the game files instead of hacking DRM! Imagine an entity releasing a game or other software without any security or copy protection...
Holy cow, that Microsoft Kin launch event. Yikes.
