"To be the biggest failure ever?"

Less than 500 N-Gages sold in game retailers during launch week. Don't know how many sold in phone retailers.

Still, that is abysmal. And it's been advertised.

I tried to play one in Virgin. I couldn't even get the game to load.

It could have been so good. And whilst it has been a disaster so far, I haven't given up all hope of it ever been bordering on decent.

Gamestation in Notts has a demo stand. Today, when the store was packed, no one was playing it. The whole store was busy, but it was like this empty space no one wanted to be in near the demo stand. Plus you could see the (unsold) NGages stacked at the bottom of the store, and that's with Gamestation giving away a load of stuff with it as well...

I even heard somewhere that they were practically queueing up for the thing. That must have been where the sales were at, then.

Never saw that. Dang!

True, but I prefer to support Fog Prime.

Note: LOL to Nokia with your girl-skateboarder-revealing-price-by-taking-top-off promotion.

NB, you're right to put it here, but won't there be more of a reception over in Chat?
