The correct answer is none. No games are worth 30 dollars on handhelds either.

id have to agree with the "no handheld game is worth $30" part,excluding the gow of course, bc i often go to a gaming store and look at the DS titles and just cant bring myself to by any of the games for the prices they are asking

Thanks for responses. DS/PSPs are not a cell phones, they're handheld gaming consoles. What I'm looking for is a regular(ish) cell phone, with a descent and comfortable controls, and hardware powerfull enough to run games. The Nokia N81-8GB looks pretty nice. What do you think?

I don't really like the N-GAGE series either, they still look more like gaming consoles that cell phones, and besides they are ginormous in dimensions on today's standards

I worked in a phone shop for over a year. Don't get a Nokia, get a Sony Ericsson.... Trust me. And whatever you do, DO NOT GET A SAMSUNG!

Combining cell phones with gaming really isn't such a good match since most phones tend to be very compact making controls an issue. Also their hardware and software really dont support games quite well. I would still suggest sticking to handhelds for the better experience.

However, if you absolutely must have a cell phone that has some functionality for games, get either an Iphone or get a Nokia N95 8gb. The nokia doubles up as a GPS system, 5 MP camera, smart phone functionalities, touch screen, and other nifty addons but it will definately put a hole in your pocket. A big hole. If you live in the U.S be prepared to pay a good $700+ to ship one from Europe.

Also, as the post above states, the Sony Ericson Walkman does quite well since it is supported by Sony. You can also flip the screens for a sort of landscapish view with somewhat functional controls.

Oh God.......... You're one of them...........

First off, it's not as easy to install java games via usb to them

Secondly, the predictive text function is not context based

Thirdly, they use microSD cards or transflash ones, the most expensive out of all the cards

Fourthly, they are prone to crashes

Fifthly, the screens are always made from cheaper construction

Sixthly, lack of good extra functions

Basically, Samsung phones are generally good for people who have phones, want them to look pretty and snappy, but never actually use any extra functions on their phone.

Well.... at least they are better than Motorola phones...............

I've never thought of that possibility. The psp isn't one bit short of a mobile phone.

Get the latest W series one you can afford. Even if you don't want the walkman functionaility, the firmware included with them is top notch. The K series just has a less snazzier firmware and the battery life on them is usually slightly less.

[QUOTE="X6-Hunter"]Guys first of all, N-Gage is really a gaming cellphone, but I would rather recommend the Sony Ericsson w995, its a Walkman phone and is faster than N-Gage, look at it this way, Sony Ericsson made their phones for JAVA games, and most applications, you can even install a GBA emulator in it using vBag cause it is s60 series. And he is asking for a cellphone not a handheld gaming device. If you want Nokia a Nokia X3 Touch and Type(if u want the GBA emulator then this) or a Nokia X6 (if you want better screen"bigger" and more on touch gaming then this) would be my recommendation, wouldn't really recommend any Samsung phones, well they are made for style and more on multimedia purposes, which means better movies than my recommendations, I also saw someone that recommends N-Series, they are correct most N series run on S60 starting from N73 so N73 to latest Nseries if you can afford it then kgo. :D P.S. This is my first post, only registered because of what I saw on the replies and i'm not satisfied on it. Hope I helped :D
