An anonymous reader writes "Hold on to your Game Boys, folks! It appears that the Finland cell phone manufacturer, Nokia, will be throwing in its lot in the handheld gaming industry with its N-Gage. Not only is this critter capable of playing games, but other noticeable features include a cell phone, radio, and MP3 player. Game companies such as Sega, Taito, and Eidos have already expressed support for it."

    Besides the fact that Nintendo has the obscene stranglehold on the world when it comes to portables, Nokia creates terrible, unreliable, buggy phone software. I highly doubt that their gaming software will be much different. I also bet that people will look at you like you have the retardation if you are trying to have a conversation with a friend through what appears to be a gameboy.
