Is anyone actually getting one?
For £230 I could buy a brand new PS2 and an Xbox for that!

A mobile phone/gameboy...
I'm sorry to judge because I haven't actually played it, but I think that is going to be so remarkably stupid even if it has Lara Croft's breasts in 3D and all that MP3 crap.
And the controls will be crap too...
"Press 1 to make Lara jump, 2 to make her shoot, and 7 and 3 at the same time to perform a CoMbO!"
It will be like playing Twister....but with your fingers. The most unsexy game of Twister you will ever play with a half naked woman named Lara, if ever.
Bah

AJ you miss quoted me. Yes I only played Moto GP which was great but I didn't say the rest definitely would be great only that there's no reason for them not to be. I haven't played them but then I didn't claim that I had, I was only a hypocrit because of your little miss quote.
As for it being hard to find two button directly diagonal to each other and a 5 way directional button on the left is hardly challenging compared to finding 5 buttons that are all much smaller all in one place.

With which I'd buy a large assortment of games. Well, three of them.

Well i agree with AJ, the graphics will be pretty poor aswell as the buttin config.

Erm, sorry to burst your bubble, but trying to locate two gameplay buttons in a large field of them (5 and 7 as gaming buttons while the rest aren't... heh) doesn't seem too well-placed at all.

"I only played Moto GP" you said at some other point in this post. So how do you know Red Faction and Tomb Raider are going to be as good as they were on the home consoles having not played them. You then later stated in this post "How can you all judge something having not played it?" - about as ironic as it gets.

I'm wanting a games console. Aside from the graphics, I'm wanting none of these things.

How about no.
I already have a mobile, which is colour,polyphonic etc. I've got a GBA and I can burn MP3s onto CDs.
Why would I want to spend £230 to buy all that again when I could buy..
15(ish) DVDs
or
A PS2 AND an XBox
or
A 25" widescreen TV
or
Fully upgrade my PC
or
6(ish) games for my PS2 or Gamecube.
or
A tonne of clothes!
If I'm gonna get a new handheld console, it'll be a PSP.

The Nokia N-Gage mobile phone/portable games console is better than the Nintendo Gameboy SP in oh so many ways. For one the size of the screen on the SP compared to the N-Gage is relatively the same except the N-Gage has some well placed, reasonably sized controls at either side instead of some fiddly little ones. As for the games themselves Red Faction, Tomb Raider, Moto GP etc are brilliant on home consoles so there is no reason for them to be bad on the N-Gage. Not to mention the fact that they don't use cartridges on the N-Gage meaning you can carry a lot more. The fact that it has polyphonic ringtones, 3D colour graphics, MMS messaging, MP3 player, Radio and more means you'll be very hard pushed to find anything that good all in one.
P.s. I have played the N-Gage for about 5 days at a festival (check my review of it if you want) and it has brilliant game play that kept me entertained for 5 days not 15 minutes (and I only played Moto GP each day). Maybe you should all play it first and learn about it on the website www.n-gage.com before you judge it which many of you have obviously not done.

Bulky? The GBA SP is much smaller than this, and if you have a small phone in your other pocket I think you'll find the N-Gage looks remarkably large.
You can get a top Nokia phone and a silver GBA SP and still look 'cool', as well.
