Nokia N-Gage Game Deck

Advantages: Feature-packed, great value, and a definite GBA beater.
Disadvantages: Two-hand typing impossible, sidetalking looks silly, annoying MMC slot

...and an e-mail client. Nokia claim that you can only access the Internet via GPRS, but I'll let you into a little secret: if you have a SIM with free WAP access, you can get full Internet access through dialup. All you need to do is set up a GPRS connection, tell everything to use it, then go in and change the connection type to dialup! Having a Genie SIM with unlimited free dialup, I can tell you I'm glad of that. It doesn't stop there, though - ...
...storing data on - well, Nokia have thrown an MP3 player and an FM radio into the N-Gage. They didn't stop there, either - the phone comes with RealOne player, so that you can play back videos and RealAudio files. You can get MP3s on to the N-Gage either by using a card reader for your PC to put them on an MMC card (you'll have to get one of these yourself), or plug in the USB cable and upload them to the card through the phone (the N-Gage appears ...

Advantages: Games engine, games, bluetooth, mp3 player, radio
Disadvantages: Look stupid when on the phone

...recently bought one of the Nokia N-gage's and I have got to say it was a very good buy. I sold my Ericsson T68i (which i also loved) and decided to purchase one sim free for around the £200 mark from Amazon.co.uk. I put my own Orange sim card in and got straight to work with all the features. Some of this phone's main features are shown below, I have written a comment about each one to help show you whether this phone is all it's hyped up to be: ...
...this technology over distances which Nokia state (10 metres or less) as me and my mates have been playing from opposite ends of lecture halls, pubs etc without any loss in signal or slowdown. I have got to say bluetooth gaming has GOT to be the future. No costs such as what you get with online gaming through xbox or PS2 and also can be setup almost instantaneously through radio waves, so hands down this has got to be the feature that sets this device ...

Advantages: Ergonomic design for games, great phone features, PDA applications
Disadvantages: Bad physical shape for a phone

...those who don't know, the Nokia N-Gage was designed to designed to be both a powerful mobile phone and a handheld gaming device (such as a Nintendo GameBoy) all in one neat little package. As for the gaming part, the N-Gage does what it says it will do and mostly does it well. The games were originally priced at around £30 but are now sometimes available for just £2.99, and are supplied on tiny MMC memory cards that are roughly the size and thickness ...
...quite consistent with modern Nokia phones. One of the biggest problems with this phone is that the earpiece (what you hear the other person through) is located on the side of the device and not on it's front part, so you need to hold it on its side to your head so it's length sticks out. This kind of makes you look like you have big dumbo ears and can lead to ridicule. Some people ridicule it by calling it "sidetalking" or talking with a bit of toast. ... Read review

Advantages: Games, Music, Videos, Entire Entertainment System
Disadvantages: Error Corruption, Battery Life, MMC Swapping.

...plenty to do with the Nokia N-Gage, So if you're already reading this then good luck on trying to find one in the shops as Nokia have now stopped production. With that out of our mind though it's time to tell you how amazing this little device is, i call it a device because it's not just a mobile phone and a games system but more like a PDA with added extras. As soon as you unwrap this little baby you just want to hold and protect it for fear that ...
...Thats the feeling you get when holding the N-Gage. The main features of the device include; Mp3 player Radio High Quality Games Calender To do list Movie Player Screen Shooter Calculator Converter Internet And plenty of other stuff you'll get round to using eventually over the course of your contract :D People claim that each of the above are possibly the greatest things about the phone but what they really neglect to consider is the ...

The Nokia N-gage was the first Nokia mobile phone, in fact any make of mobile phone to incorporate the usual bits and bobs of a mobile, with a hand held games console, and well they have done it well for a first try. Nokia are leading the way with new phone technology. They were the first phone company to have Bluetooth added to phones (along with Samsung). The Nokia N-Gage. Needless to say it didn't do all that well when first released as it was ...

But looking back at what it had to offer and trying one out myself it's pretty damn cool. ***************************************** The Features minus the gaming bits ***************************************** N-Gage has all the usual features of a mobile which I won't go into detail with but things like SMS, alarm clock, calculator just standard stuff is all on the phone. But other things are not quite so common ... Read review
