Title: How\'s the NGage as JUST a phone?
Post by: ##RaCeR## on December 08, 2003, 03:21:20 PM

I want a phone with MMC/SD and mp3 file support. It seems the only Nokia phone available in Australia out of the box with these features is the NGage. I wouldn\'t use it as a game machine as I\'m not really into that, but how is it as just a phone? Its waay overpriced, but since I need a new phone its not worth buying a seperate mp3 player and phone.

I was also looking at the 3650, but it doesn\'t support mp3 file format. Are there any Java applications that can be install to allow mp3 playback? I tried searching countless sites but I cannot find any info.

IT doesn\'t even have a speaker and a mic does it?  DOn\'t you have to use a headset with it?  That would make it a game system first and a phone 2nd.  Doesn\'t sound too good to me.

I don\'t know why they just can\'t bloody include MMC slots on all their phones. Its so frustrating.

Gimme a 7250i with MMC slot and mp3 support and I am in heaven.

How about a 7250i with MMC slot and mp3 support with a synthetic vagina?

Now that my friend is what you need.

n-gage is shaped too crappy to function as a phone 1st, imagine fitting that thing in your pocket.  Isn\'t there another phone with mp3 support?

MP3 Player + Cell phone < Ngage in price

I am considering a Motorola A835. Its on the 3 network (video network, pretty cheap).

As a phone, N-Gage works.  It comes with ear-phones, but you don\'t need them to use the phone. It is dorky looking, though, and the interface for voicemail messages is kind of lousy.


But it works...
