N-Gage to Get Another Overhaul

MSNBC has the news that the ever unpopular N-Gage not only isn't going into that good night, but it's going to be receiving a redesign sometime in the future. From the article: "We're looking at new colors, a new look and feel for the QD in the next few months,"

    n-gage: free supported official sdk's(c++), shitload of applications(including ssh client, web browsers, movie players), python scripting support(official too), j2me support, bluetooth, mmc support(1gb going at somewhere around 80 bucks)... even flash now if that's your cup of tea for development.

    should be a pretty good nerd toy, no? and a bargain at the price they're going at.

    (besides.. even one of the penny arcade guys admitted that the qd is a pretty fun device - but congrats on your newly acquired karma you're sure to get from posting what you posted, a post without any real information)

    The N-Gage just sucks.

    The idea is good: a cellphone with kick butt games. But talking is hard and the games aren't to good (to my knolage).

    This is like the PDA/Cellphone combos. Good idea but no one can get them right. They are eather to big or they lack something. But mainly, as good of an idea as it is, people aren't ready for it. But if tomarrow someone came out with a something which can REALLY do both gaming and being a cell (and even a PDA) the thing could sell but no one can seem to make something that can do more then one thing well. It's sad really.
