Reminds me of my old N-Gage
Taking phone calls on that thing was so strange. You had to hold it like you'd hold a sandwich.
We called it "Sidetalkin'".

How have I not seen this before lmao
You hold your sandwiches like this? Weirdo…
Broadly yeah, pinched between my thumb and fingers, though of course I don't eat it vertically lol
🤌🥪
The N-Gage had a bunch of bizarre design decisions.
The game cartridge slot was behind the battery - swapping games required disassembling the phone.
The revised QD version fixed a lot of the mistakes but it was too little too late by then.
