Title: I got N-gage\'d
Post by: bigrob on March 04, 2003, 05:05:33 AM

Yes people.

I now have the n-gage.  I got it a while ago. (if you\'ve missed it http://www.n-gage.com )

Initial impression are good. Only one game so far. space impact evolution X. which has gameboy advance type of graphics with gameplay ala 1942.  Interface is that of 7650/3650  (series 60). The vertical screen works fine, saying that, space impact X is oppimezed for a vertical screen.
the Size and layout of the keys are good. The size of the whole gamedeck is somewhat smaller then I expected.
The radio/mp3 features are really neat. And MP3 and Radio you can play through the loudspeaker so if you go camping or something, its the perfect entertainment device.... as long as you can charge it somewhere. Real player can play movies from MM card as well as steaming.

all in all so far so good. Still price will be an issue i suspect. And the fact that you have to remove the back cover to change MM card is really stupid.

If I where changing phones and liked to have gaming and music features then THIS IS THE BOMB.  I will have this phone for a year or so now, so if you have any questions..just ask

well, games are scares, and they crash alot (since the early prototype) . I mean estimated launch date is around oct/nov 2003.
The games from big deveopler shoudl start to appear in a month or two.  
It really rock as a "one device does it all", but i will still use my nokia 6100 for when I go to clubs etc etc because as a phone, it a bit bulky, but as an entertainment device its small and really good.  Gives a lot more solid feel to it then the GBA,

More new on this as it progresses. When games start dropping in and when the accessories comes as well. Right now I am just enjoying the mp3 feature alot !
