As an ex Nokia employee, I had the opportunity to purchase one of the first revisions of the Ngage at a low price. While I can say that the screen was awesome for regular cell phone use, it was simply too small for gaming, and an awkward shape. The physical design just plain sucked. The games were OK at best, and the whole Taco talking position was so reviled that when they updated the Ngage to the QD model, they listed "Classic Talking" as a new feature. Unfortunately, the device was just doomed to be a failure from the onset. Too costly, too small a screen, and mediocre games.
Thank goodness I was able to recoup the cost entirely by selling on ebay. I'm more than happy with my 6820 all in all.
