Nokia N-Gage QD Review

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.

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]...

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.

n-gage_qd_specialed.jpg image

One of our accidental spies sends this picture of a special Dutch Vodafone version of the Nokia N-Gage QD (which means, among other things, that it will be SIM locked). Instead of the dark grey exterior, it instead has a lighter grey with orange highlights. The Special Edition QD also exists in a pocket universe between this dimension and one where the Nokia N-Gage is the gaming platform of choice, causing it to be blurry in pictures as it fades in and out of corporeality.

Rumor Control: Nokia N-Gage Not Being
Pulled From Stores
08/04/2004 09:57 AM

http://www.gizmodo.com/archives/images/ngage_qd1.jpg imageSo a rumor has been going around that Electronics Boutique had been instructed to pull the Nokia N-Gage QD, the updated version of the ill-fated original N-Gage. Shipping units back to the factory is never good; however, it's not nearly as bad as some are letting on (N-Gage being pulled completely from market entirely, etc.). According to our sources inside EB (the guy I called and asked), the first shipment of N-Gage QDs with T-Mobile service had a somewhat convoluted sign-up process on the phone -- convoluted enough that many people couldn't get their accounts activated. The first batch was shipped back, updated with easier sign-up software (like later models already had), and shipped back to the ElBos for sale.

So yeah, not the end of the world. I'm sort of disappointed, too. (Not that I hate the QD -- it's actually sort of nice -- but I lament any lost opportunity to pick on N-Gage.)

A couple of tiny flash players for your viewing pleasure, neither of which is much to speak of feature-wise (they rarely are), but have their own charm as far as form factor goes. The AMP-1301 (pictured right) is, well, a tube. A silver tube. A silver tube with what looks to be an OLED screen. But basically a tube.

And the Ultra Mini AVIT is mostly cool because it's small and has a nice screen - not bad for a 512MB-capable player.
