Good if you want ngage gaming, otherwise a waste of money.

If the games are any good, certinally the display is impressive and much better than original GBA. Better readibility graphics than most pocket LCD TVs I have seen.

I'd say exactly the opposite - good for everything but gaming! So long as you don't mind the whole side-talking thing, and the battery life is less than spectacular.

The battery life might b bad but mine lasts for nearly four days on 1 charge (1 charge lasting an hour and 20 mins)I just set my GPRS when needed and I got an extra day out of it..also switchin on bluetooth absorbs battery (2 days tops)

how do you actually go about downloading games for it. i have it set up so its an extra drive on my PC but how do i actually transfer games to it?

I got mine for 99euro with fifa and 70euro credit in xtravision yesterday!
Not bad!

hey i got mien on friday last. Same deal.
Can you get the USB to work? I tryed it on my PC and my uncles and no go. Im annoyed because i bough a 128mb card for €70 for it because i wanted to put Realplayer files on it so now i have to get a usb exteral flashmedia card drive for €35

Cheeky monkey

u cant get the usb 2 work with the pc suite tht is only a blue tooth thing

4 the games u transfer the file onto the card (the card looks like a exterrnal hardrive) then go 2 manager (i think) it should have a program in it go 2 options and instal

p.s wht kinda card did u buy?

The mic and speaker are on the top edge of the device so for best performance you need to hold it 'sideways' to your head. Very un-aerodynamic.

Thats a bit dire...:(

They come with a 'hands free' yoke - a pair of headphones with a voice reciever - small and unobtrusive - lot better than the embarassment of holding a kebab shaped bit of plastic to your ear and talking into it

Yeah, with that and good support for bluetooth headsets it's really not a deal-breaker IMHO.

i bought a memromex card and it dosnt work as an extra drive for me either. dosnt matter anyway cus i bought an SD/MMC card reader for my pc and it works grand

u can watch movies on it too which is cool. i have loads of converted movies and tv shows 4 it( theres a program called smartmovie which makes them the right size)

I've got a Sagem My-v65 and thinking about getting the n-gage instaead. but i've just one question: Is the nokia add-on camera avliable for the n-gage?

daggeredge

yep! its called the fun camera! quite nifty and its clip on (via the usb port in the side)

flywheel

does the N-Gage support it? the Fun Camera conects via the Pop-Port connection not USB, plus the N-Gage is a Series 60 Symbian Based OS so isn't like their regular Series handsets which support this accessory...
