N-Gage Hardware and Software Price Dropped

Posted by Zonk on from the on-the-cheap dept.

GamesIndustry.biz has the news that Nokia is dropping the price on N-Gage Hardware and Software. They also reconfirmed the thought that the deck may recieve another redesign. From the article: "Despite putting significant weight behind the launch of the original device, and responding quickly to consumer feedback by launching the much-improved N-Gage QD handset within a matter of months, Nokia has had very limited success with N-Gage - selling only 1.5 million units of the platform worldwide to date."

  1. A great phone (esp for the $) and OK game platform by slithytove · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I've got an Ngage-QD, and I'm quite happy with it as a phone. The interface is nice, the screen is bigger and brighter than most phones, and it has features like an MMC slot and Bluetooth that you have to spend more to get with any other phone. I got it mostly because it was the cheapest symbianOS phone with bluetooth that I'm aware of. I use it with Bemused to control XMMS and slimserver. As a portable gaming platform, its clearly inferior to my Nintendo DS, but its always in my pocket, and its not bad. Also, you can copy games from the MMCs they come on to a single larger card. (and for the warez d00dz, you can download them all too)
