N-Gage: Backtalkin'







N-Gage: Backtalkin'

N-Gage: Backtalkin' 06/01/2004 10:29 AM

ngage_backtalkin.jpg imageSo you bought a first-generation N-Gage and now you're feeling sort of silly using it, tacohead and such. First of all, stick to your guns, cowboy. The N-Gage, for all its faults as a game device, is a pretty nice Symbian phone. Plus now, if you're feeling especially cavalier, you can modify your N-Gage to work just like a regular phone with a speaker/earpiece in the back, which is a little goofy, I guess, but nothing like the travesty that is Sidetalkin'. AllAboutNGage has a howto, which looks to be mostly a fairly simple (if delicate) one drill job. (Thanks, Ewan!)

It gets worse for the N-Gage 11/11/2003 03:18 PM
We wouldn't keep kicking the N-Gage when it's down like this, but the bad news keeps on coming. The latest calamity: the encryption that prevents N-Gage games from being played on other cellphones has been cracked, so now there's no reason to buy Nokia's gamephone if you just want to play one of its games. Normally this wouldn't be such a big deal since Nokia would at least see some money from people buying the games, but copies of N-Gage games are already being swapped online. So Nokia is doubly screwed. Read [Thanks everyone who wrote in with this]...

Nokia N-Gage QD Review 06/11/2004 09:40 AM

ngage06-lrg.jpg imageWe've all given Nokia a break with the launch of the N-Gage QD. I mean, they fixed Sidetalkin', added a longer-lasting battery, they dropped extraneous features like stereo sound ... wait, whaa happan? Digital Lifestyles has the first of a three-part review up, focusing on the hardware of the QD and while it seems like a perfectly capable Series 60 phone (much like the first N-Gage), I just don't know what in the hell Nokia is doing anymore. The way to gaming console success probably isn't to make a device that people might sort of be interested in if it's free.

A thought about the Nokia N-Gage


A thought about the Nokia N-Gage 10/29/2003 04:59 PM

After playing with an N-Gage, I think sidetalkin.com is freakin' hillarious. One thought on this sidetalking thing, though:

At least it keeps the screen from getting all schmutzed. My Treo 300 screen gets absolutely filthy, due to me pressing the slab up against my head to talk. Also, there seems to be a defect in the LCD developing, which seems to have something to do with, again, being pressed up against my face.

In most other ways, this thing looks to be a flop... but the sidetalking thing might just not be such a bad idea.

Proving that Nokia is still in serious denial about the N-Gage (which has been a huge fiasco so far), the company says its standing by its projection that they'll sell six million of the gamephone by the end of next year, saying they're "pretty pleased with the viral uptake from consumers." Sure. Read [Via MobileTracker]...

12/08/2003 12:54 PM
Check out this letter sent to The Register by someone saying that back in 2001 they were working on a prototype of device that could connect a Gameboy Advance to cellphone to let people play wireless multiplayer games and use the GBA as a phone. They say they even approached Nokia and Siemens about working together, proposing that it'd be easier to piggyback on Nintendo's success rather than try and build a new brand from scratch. Neither company was interested, and of course, as we all know by now, Nokia introduced its own N-Gage gamephone two years later. Read...
