  8. From a Symbian user perspective: on N-Gage No Longer Relevant · · Score: 1

    I have to say that N-gage contributed much to the development of mobile gaming.

    Before N-gage, Symbian-OS based phones only had mostly 2D games(i.e. Snakes, Solitare and Minesweeper etc). With the advent of the N-gage, we saw more interactive games like Tomb Raider, Sonic N and The Sims.

    Nokia did prove something with the N-gage and that is mobile gaming on handphones isn't just limited to "Snakes"!

    Even NES/Gameboy Color/Sega Genesis Emulators are now available on the Symbian OS! All thanks to the N-gage for the gaming interest on the platform.

    Also technically impressive(at it's time) is the 104MHz Arm9 processor on the N-gage. Mind you, the GBA only had a 16MHz ARM7TDMI, even the Nintendo DS has only a 67MHz ARM9(although overall a better console).

    Right now, we have Symbian-OS phones that have >200Mhz processors and now Symbian-OS phones are getting so popular that virus writers are targeting the platform! There are like at least one new virus per month now.
