In 2005 EA Games released Need for Speed: Most Wanted for consoles and PCs. What is probably less known that a mobile version thereof was developed by Ideaworks3D and released for Verizon's phones.

As many BREW 3D games of that time, the game did not come with all the assets available upon purchase, one should download these while making progress in the game while overwriting the original data in order to fit into the phone memory.

Fortunately, a standalone version thereof was integrated in the firmware of an obscure mobile phone BenQ-Siemens EF91 - an expensive mobile phone released in 2006 and one of the first (if not the first) to utilize Qualcomm's MSM6290 chipset and WCDMA-HSPA+ data transmission technology.

Unfortunately, BenQ's division in Germany which purchased Siemens's mobile business busted in Germany just 6 months later, so this device, developed by BenQ in Taiwan, did not completely get into Europe, and was rare to find.

As two last times, the footage was filmed with an HD camera phone, some more additional contraptions, and video post-processing.
