Well most of the issues mentioned were resolved when N-Gage QD was released, and it was the best Value for money phone out there. Games like Asphalt Urban GT, Sims, FIFA, Worms World Party etc... were some pretty cool titles for the N-Gage platform. I still haven't seen half way decent renditions of those games on any of the current phones(Java version of all these games suck big time). It was the best phone (and possibly the only phone) for casual gaming. It was no PSP or DS and should not be compared to them, but was the best phone one could get for gaming as well as being a smart phone at the same time. If Nokia ever comes out with a next verion of N-Gage QD, I'll gladly pick it up over the iPhone (which incidentally has ZERO games).

never diss the n-gage? Why shouldn't we?
the fact it's actually build like a brick?
or the fact this is how you are supposed to make calls: http://www.8bitjoystick.com/archives/photos/ngage.jpg
or maybe the fact the screen is vertical than horizontal?
or maybe the fact you have to REMOVE the battery to insert a game?
Horrible design all around, too ugly to be a phone, not a good gaming device and NO third party developer support.
be glad you are one of only 4 people in this world who bought it. It might be a collective sooner, but I doubt it.
