I agree, magazines are saying that the games are not very good and 300 bucks is a lot of cash!

On TV I saw a person talking on one, and he was holding the skinny side of the thing to his head! Is this really how you talk on it, and if it is, isn't it uncumfortable?

the only thing wrong with the dreamcast was when it was released. Everyone decided to wait for the "more powerful" PS2 (they all thought it was gonna be more powerful but it isn't by much really).

The N-gage is really bad for using as a phone, gotta hold it with the thin side to your ear or somthing. Its worthit for the technology!!!! you could buy a Gamecube and Xbox for the price of it ( I'm not sure whats the PS2 is priced at)

Why the fuck do you have to do that anyway? I mean Jesus fucking Christ has mankind deteriorated to the point where we are attached to the Internet by an umbilical cord of products such as this? Do you always need to be able to check you e-mail? Do you always need to be able to play games? Do you always need to listen to the radio? No you don't. If your going to be outside at least look at nature for god sakes. If your just going to go outside and be preoccupied with 23096729625026026 features on some new toy you have than what’s the point of going outside anyway? Humans do not need these kinds of things. Eventually where going to have a machine that lives life for us, wipes our ass, and cooks our food for us without us even getting out of bed. I live in the middle of the boonies, go outside and take things called walks with having a cell phone or and n-gage or some other piece of shit that was put together by some 3 year old Asian kid. I don't have to take a camera with a cell phone or me with me cause I actually sop to look at things. It amazing how wonderful the world can be when there are just the noises of the world around you and not something gibbering right into your ear.

There's several things wrong with it. In fact, there's more wrong with it than there is right with it.

The team and I at NGN just got our new forum up and we’re wondering why we should even bother having an N-Gage section up. When a product only sells around 5,500 units between America and the UK in it’s first week on the market future prospects seem grim at best...... not to mention that someone already figured out how to pirate their games......

Given the choice between an N-Gage and a Taco, I dunno, the taco would be pretty tempting.

Well, let's see, no great games at all, staggering lack of exclusive games, most are just poor ports. Poor selection in general. Have to rip the fucking thing apart to change cartridges. Too damned expensive.

And also the way you have to talk into it while making a phone call.

taco! hah thats good!

I also think of the N-Gage as a hand grenade. Remember on release when there were over 20 incidents of exploding N-Gage batteries? They tried to blame it on inferior company battery packs, but the funny was it was only out for 5 or so days, so there was no time to mass produce inferior battery packs. Strike 3 Nokia.

Have you seen www.gamespot.com? They reviewed Sonic on both the GBA and N-Gage - use the search engine for 'Sonic' as proof.

See the differing scores and reviews, and THEN tell me the N-Gage is the be all and end all of superior mobile technology. :)

The reason the N-Gage is going to fail is because they put too many gimmicks into it. It's like a movie licensed game scenario, make 7 engines and they're all half-assed, but it has a racing part in it, and a fighting part, and we made each part crap, rather than concentrating on one engine and making something of it.
