Manufacturer's Description
The Nokia N-Gage mobile game deck was made for gamers. This lightweight, handheld machine pumps out 3D graphics that do your favourite games the justice they deserve. Whether you prefer to play solo or engage in multiplayer action over Bluetooth wireless technology or GPRS, the Nokia N-Gage game deck is ready and waiting.

And yes, the game pauses automatically when the phone rings.

The Nokia N-Gage game deck's claim to fame is mobile multiplayer gaming with no cables or wires. Most of the games available for the game deck include multiplayer options for 2 and/or up to 4 players, either via Bluetooth wireless technology within distances of 10 meters or less or over GPRS, which offers the possibility for gaming over a wide-area network.

The high-resolution color screen boasts amazing 3D graphics that do your favorite games the justice they deserve. Watch Lara Croft and Tony Hawk fly off the screen in 4096 colors and - count them - 36608 pixels in the illuminated high-contrast, full-graphics color display. Playing during the night? Don't worry, there is a backlight.

Intense 3D games like Tomb Raider and Tony Hawk are too large to be downloaded Over-the-air directly to your game deck. Game cards allow for richer graphics and enhanced sounds, which means better gameplay. And the cards are so tiny, you can carry up to 20 with you at the same time.

The Nokia N-Gage game deck is good for more than just gaming; it's packed to the max with fancy features like an MP3 player and a mobile Web browser. What's more, it's also a tri-band phone with support for email and multimedia messaging - that's a text message with an image and sound. And there are more extras than you can count, including polyphonic ringing tones, handsfree functionality, RealOne Player, and more.

Surf the mobile Web with the XHTML browser built in to the game deck (XHTML over GSM data, HSCSD, and GPRS). Make N-Gage.com your first stop so you can get all the latest news on games, plus screenshots, tips, tricks, and more when you're on the move.

Forget payphones. The game deck is also a tri-band mobile phone, which means it's wired for EGSM 900/GSM 1800/1900 networks, so you can make calls and check email from five continents.

Finished all the games already? Download Java-based games and new game levels, as well as other applications like calendars, planners, travel guides, and more, straight to your game deck. It's all done Over-the-air, so you don't even have to get up.

The game deck has battery power to play MP3s for up to 8 hours, 20 hours of radio, and from 3 to 6 hours of games.

The game deck also has 3.4 MB of internal shared memory for images, contact data, calendar, messages, and add-on applications. For MP3 storage, 32, 64, and 128 MB external memory cards are available separately.

N GAGE
This phone is amazing.... i have owned it for like a week now and have intstalled a gazzilion apps. on it... i have stuff like Powerpoint, word, excel, tony hawk, red faction, lie detector, etc.... it is amazing... if the ngage doesnt have something you want, search it on google and get it! lol the size is gr8... i mean even if it was a little smaller i wouldnt have fitted 2 hands on it for gaming.... the controls are excelent by the way... the best part is its compatibility... which is what nokia is good for.... all the series 60 are compatible perfectly!

mobile gaming phone
having had a nokia 3310 before and loving it but needing a new phone packed with features but still made by nokia, Being a games fan of various consoles i decided why not try mobile gaming and the answer was staring me in the face as i browsed amazon a Nokia N Gage, It has the lot mp3 player,bluetooth, realone player, games, applications(although i have none),WAP over GPRS and a fairly easy way of navigating menus once used to the phone i couldnt put it down! it is a must have for all those of us who like games and cant take them where ever we go be it a caravan in mid scotland or the office in central london.one critacism tho is that the earpeice is in the spine of the phone so it looks like your holding a pencil case to your head. but still that didnt put me off its an exelant phone so go get it!

Great games plarform and phone
The n- gage is great it has everything and i think it is reasonably priced. The games are great so is the radio, mp3 infact its all great apart from the battery doesnt last too long.
