N-Gage (device)
The N-Gage (a pun on engage) is a feature phone and handheld game system from Nokia, announced on 4 November 2002 and released on 7 October 2003. It runs on the original Series 60 on Symbian OS v6.1.
N-Gage attempted to lure gamers away from the Game Boy Advance by including mobile phone functionality. This was unsuccessful, partly because the buttons, designed for a phone, were not well-suited for gaming and when used as a phone the original N-Gage was described as resembling a "taco", which led to it becoming a well-known mocking nickname along with the "Frankenphone".
Nokia introduced the N-Gage QD in 2004 as re-design to the original "Classic" N-Gage, fixing widely criticized issues and design problems. However it was unable to make an improving impact, and with only 2 million units sold in its two years, the N-Gage and its QD model have been a commercial failure. It was discontinued in November 2005, with Nokia moving its gaming capabilities on selected Series 60 smartphones. This was announced as the N-Gage platform or "N-Gage 2.0" in 2007, carrying on the N-Gage name.

History
Formation and self-titled album (2012-2013)
After Disturbed went into hiatus in late 2011, frontman David Draiman announced a new side-project called Device in May 2012. He revealed that he would be working with Geno Lenardo, former guitarist for Filter for their Title of Record and Amalgamut albums, in the new sideproject. Draiman revealed his intention to do a project with more of an electronic sound, but in an industrial metal type way, sounding similar to Nine Inch Nails or Ministry, not dubstep.
