Bugger. No O2 stops seem to have left in stock, same with Xtravision and when I try to even look at it on the vodafone site I can't see the phones on offer....there's no mention of the n-gage at all.

Anyone know anywhere I can get one of these, preferably on an O2 upgrade?

I checked out vodafone.ie yesterday. I've never been a vodafone customer, but it has the n-gage listed as 109 euro, 1st time connection, ready to go. Fifa 2004 is also listed as being included. Can anyone confirm this? And is it only 109 euro if i purchase it off net?

chabsey

It's 109 euro for a 2st time connection if you buy it in their shops too, although stock is an issue.

begbie

Alright, thanks. Was thinking stock would come into the equation! :dunno:

The one on vodafone.ie doesnt have FIFA with it tho does it?

I bought n-gage yesterday for €109 coz 1st time connection. I want to stay with 02 due to cheaper prices etc, does any 1 know if the online unblocking codes are safe to use on the phone coz fella in shop said they are impossible to unblock,
also if ye are buying games www.play.com ship em from Uk for no extra cost in 2-3 days so buy games online & u'll get em cheaper

begbie

It says on vodafone.ie that fifa 2004 comes with it. But i don't know for sure! :dunno:

i unlocked mine - took about 1 minute

Download Smart DCT-4 Calc from here and read the tutorial from here. You do this at your own risk and probably invalidate your warranty.


edit: changed links

huh!

I can confirm that Ngage ready to go ordered from Vodafone.ie yesterday for €89 arrived today with fifa game and 60 credit, sim locked, but easily unlocked

bombidol

huh!

Thanks very much to bleedin header! fair play .

I got mine on TUE. in grafton ST. store ,they had loads

celticfc

I got one on wednesday in The Square, 'twas the last one left in there.

Zion

Got mine arrived today from vodafone online as well. Quite a good bargain for €89 with fifa game, €60 credits and lot of accessories come with it including a stereo handfree and a 32MB MMC card.

Unlock it was very easy too.

Supercell

Well that really is a bargain @ €89 , just ordered one myself

Supercell

Anyone know of somewhere that sells some thing like a MSI USB Transceiving Key - Bluetooth which presumably would be a lot more handy to use than messing about plugging and unplugging usb cables at the back of my pc when I want to add some mp3's or games to the mmc ?

Stephen

Elara and Komplett both sell usb bluetooh adaptors. I'm sure high-street rip off merchants have them too.

I was in every Vodaphone store in Dublin city today with no joy, so i just ordered the one of vodafone.ie , looks like an even better deal too, with punters receiving MMC cards and stuff too. Will let you know how it goes when it arrives monday

kaisersose77

is the 32MB mmc not the one with nokia game on it? its in n-gage already , well it was in my one from o2 and the "hands free" are the earphones u need to listen to the radio. I doubt vodafone are putting extra stuff in the n-gage box( when i got mine from xtravision- it was an n-gage box inside an 02 box) so n-gage stuff in n-gage box and o2 stuff in o2box.

The bluetooth (I think) only fills the phone's memory. To fill the mmc card you have to use the USB cable. So I've heard anyway....I don't own one yet, to confirm this.

How do you find the n-gage as a phone?

bleedin'header

Well lads im delighted you all bought one its a bargain they were 309 euro fifa game is great im hooked how do i get it unlocked though without paying 30 or so euro and does ne one know where you can purchase cheap games for the ngage

You'll be lucky. I haven't been able to find them anywhere for this price. I don't see them on the Vodafone online shop for this price either. So they must have taken it down.

The Bluetooth dongles are only really usefull if you want to connect your n-gage to the internet Via a computer. You can use agile messenger, netfront and wireless IRC to take the place of some regular computer functions.
