While the N-Gage name has become a bit of a joke in gaming circles, the new focus on standardized games that can play on a variety of handsets has some potential. Here's hoping Nokia manages to make us care about cell phone gaming

So let me get this straight, testing software on a product you already released is taking more time than you thought it would? Funny I'd have thought it should work from the first time around. Good thing nobody wants this thing, else there'd be an outcry of sorts.
Hmm, comedy commands me to say this....
Joystiq is TOBIAS!

No, this is the PS2 to the N-Gage PS1. It's not the same platform they already released.

I would think they're one and the same for this product.

Is the guy in the photo praying to the N-Gage deity or is he constipated?

God I hope its vastly improved from the first version, I games tested one of them for a week. Luckily the game was pretty awesome...
However the N-Gage was awful really uncomfortable and died a lot.

I had an N-Gage QD for a long time. It was actually a nice phone, considering I usually go for the "free" phone I get when I renew my contract. The games weren't all bad. Some, like Pathway to Glory and Asphalt 2 were really good for playing in 10 - 20 minute spurts while waiting somewhere. I just got a new Samsung phone, so unless Nokia can make the app play on my new handset, it looks like I'm out this round.

Why do you stick with a brand name that is so thoroughly tainted? The name "N-Gage" has become a punch line... deservedly so. At least come up with a new brand name.
Then again, we are talking about a company that tried to frame "sidetalkin'" as some kind of cool feature rather than the pants-on-head retarded design flaw that it actually was. They've got chutzpah, at least. Maybe not much in the way of brains, but chutzpah.
