Aeroplanes. You're not allowed to use Mobiles on the flights, yet the N-Gage has a phone built in.


No N-Gage on planes, then.

Or, perhaps they'll have a "Switch phone off" feature so that you're not interupted whilst playing games.

*Damn my bright ideas*

I was thinking that, but still, it would be annoying to be playing and then they ask you to switch the phone off.

Damn Nokia, making us agitated.

:D

Another serious flaw is that it is the younguns that enjoy handheld gaming more than the adults at the moment. And they're not going to be able to afford a handheld/phone hybrid.

Mobile phones with only a few games on them with monochrome screens cost just as much as a Game Boy Advance now!

Indeed. It is madness.

A very competative price will have to be set if Nokia actually want to gain anything from this...

\They'll give away a free GBA no doubt, then make a demo cartridge saying PLAY NGAGE, or something. Yes, I need sleep now.

I don't see the appeal in the N-Gage.

Simple solution:

Don't buy N-Gage. Buy something that you'll actually get some enjoyment out of - buy a GBA.

The real flaw with the N-Gage will be the price. It will take a long time to build a game library to challenge the GBA:SP.

Don't you have to take the back off and then take the battery out just to put put a game in? Well thats what I heard.
