    I need to know, for my research, which was the first mobile phone with a game built in.
    I know that one of the first is the Nokia 5110, with Snake.
    Anyone can help me?

    Thanks!!!!

    I remember some old Ericssons (before Sony Ericsson) had stuff like very very very minimalisticly designed Poker (Texas Hold'em, iirc) and also tetris on the "pro/business" phones.

    Think those were from about the same time as the first Nokias with Snake.

    You'll probably need to look at the Japanese phones if you want the VERY FIRST phone in the world with a game. Personally I have no idea however I'd guess there must be something out there on the net.

    nope, it was before 1998. I was in my 7 grade when that thing came out in europe. 6110, guaranteed, is the first phone with SNAKE. it came out sometime in 1997.
