N-Gage booth: empty

lawl.

That reminds me of the time some friends of mine, Employees at EBgames, took the N-gage display and played "N-Gage vs. 12-Gauge"

I think the reason is that the N-Gage is SO good, that everybody is too impressed to play with it.

N-gage is completely flop. They should have stick with mobile only not gaming.

They are losing to Sony Ericsson and Motorola

Wow, you could knock me over with a feather. I was amazed when I saw the booth in the floorplans, but now I know it wasn't some crazy typo :D

Possibly the saddest thing I have ever seen.

And yet, I now feel compelled to buy 6 N-Gages.

From the head of his head on the photo.

He looks like Jack from Lost. Maybe he's buying one for the Island.

I didn't even know Nokia had a booth for E3. What's new, guys?

You would think Nokia would learn from the last two E3's! Both E3 2004, and E3 2005, saw a consistantly empty (and large) N-Gage booth.

er....*not surprized*

God let it die in peace..

Honestly, I thought that thing flopped years ago. It's still around?

I feel bad for the people who have to work the N-Gage booth. How do you keep a upbeat enthusiastic persona about the product when everyone knows it's dead and gone? I guess you keep that fake smile platered on and lie. Lie lie lie and if that doesn't work, lie some more.

"No the N-Gage is doing really well. We're the 34th best selling handheld this yaer and we are looking to increase our market share as soon as the Sega Nomad's disappear from Ebay."

"No he's not asleep, he's just resting in between press junkets. The Mislokovaniaian press is relentless!"

what kind of games were they even demoing?

Nokia's just showing off stuff like this:

Well, lets be fair...it wasn't empty. There were a bunch of guys hanging around. But that could of be because of the many hot booth babes they had at the booth. I was at E3 today, and I think they had the most girls than any other booth.

Personally, I dont comment about things I know nothing about, I mean, have ANY of you people actually used an n-gage, I jus did a 12 hour bus trip from A to B, I used my ngage to read mobipocket, listen to oggs & play games, it lasted the distance AND games like System Rush, One,Asphalt et are good, also its got a built in MP3 player, on the way back I used my PSP which i LOVE, the batteries only last 3 hours tho, also, its not exactly rugged, the ngage is DEFINITELY a superior MOBILE gaming device, also its a Smart Phone too, so why do people who have never used an ngage slag it off?
I must admit I thought they were crap after reading the early reviews & comments from morons like you above until I got one off ebay for $75US, actually having an ngage and USING it completely changed My mind
I have a PSP & a ngage,for travelling the ngage is definitely superior cos its smaller, its a smartphone as well and the batteries last at least 12 hours and thats without trying to save power.

Ciao Zac

sure they messed up with the n-gage but they should feel lucky they don't have a ceo that goes around wrecking million dollar cars. ;p

i'd feel really awkward being a booth person for n-gage. lonliest people at e3...

I was at E3 last year and the booth babes were virtually begging people to come play their game to win an NGage. I also thought last year they had the worst booth because of a loud, annoying British guy trying to be comedic. I dreaded passing by that booth.

To comment 13, I have a SonyEricsson W800i and it is a very good music phone, plays some fun java games, and has a 2 Megapixel camera.

Right on Zac. I too am an owner of N-gage, the original as well as the QD. I love then, it's like a swiss knife for the computer age.

Acording to there E3 website (yes im a N-Gage Gamer) They get over 70,000 a day.

I don't suppose this was between the Gizmondo and Tapwave booths, by any chance?

Andrew Lenahan. You're smokin smth brotha? Gizmondo and Tapwave? What year are you livin in? If you don't kno bout stuff, it's not nice to comment on it. For example, I could say, you're jus a retard but in reality, you might not be.

I dont kno why the N-Gage gets such a bad rap from the console gamers. I have a DS and an N-Gage and I'd have to say that the N-Gage holds it's own against the DS in batterylife, portability, fucntionality, and quality of games. The DS only has a few good games compared to the N-Gage's small yet quality 65 titles. Also, the games are only 7bucks at Gamestop and most of the game graphics look better than ones on the DS.

The DS has 2 advantages over the N-Gage. Bigger screen + touch screen. Everything else it's lacking or debatable.

Yo! LosBurritos! This is wukong from the Arena. Anywho, Andrew, the guy talking about Gizmondo and Tapwave, was just being a smartass. He knows what happened to both Gizmondo and Zodiac thus is joking around with N-Gage being the same.

omg, a joystiq post that was anti-n-gage?? has the world gone mad??

joystiq is as professional of a news source as the tabloits at a grocery store checkout. if i take on blurry picture on my way out of e3 [7.15pm is e3 open that late] i can say it's representive of the entire show too. gawd, with out being a sister site to engadget, this site would be known as nothing more than the little whiny fanboy site of video games.

i love you joystiq. if you take the other hand out of your pants and hold the camera with it your pictutes won't look like crap!
