I think the new version is already out... its smaller, more rounded, but less features - no MP3, radio, and I hear that it's got mono sound too. But if you dont want it *just* for games, then there's no point in paying €300 more for the newer version - when you can get the old one for about €90 and download any games/apps that you want for free. The newer version will probably have *a lot* more protection on it its games, so they probably wont be available to download for awhile.

all new games willwork on both versions and the best thing about the ngage in my opinion is watching movies on it and everything else is a bonus

Are the movie not a bit crap? Tiny screen, major compression doesnt usually make for a good viewing experience.

Was using a Nokia 3200 and bought myself one of these in Heatons Tralee. I am dead happy, only miss the flashlight.

One question I have. It came with a 30mb memory, 18 of which is used by some strange Nokia Game. Is it safe to delete it?

dub_dan

just wondering if the €99 n-gage is still running? can't seem to find it on the vodafone online shop or the o2 online shop.
Does anyone know where i could get one?

Guy:Incognito

i cant find one anywhere in dublin, so if anyone outside dublin would be willing to buy and post ill cover costs plus a little sumting extra for the trouble?

The "Phone Store" in Thurles have them for €109.

Fridge Monkey

The one I bought yesterday had a 30mb memory card (had some stupid Nokia-Flo game on it which is deletable).

Today bought one for my dad, no memory card.

Heatons Tralee still has a few NGages.

encode with smartmovie (google it). It uses xvid to compress the movies. Its much better than the nokia multimedia converter as the nokia mmc will only give you max 15 frames per second for converted movies (to .3gpp) whereas smartmovie encodes to avi (it comes with a converter for the pc and a .sis player for the ngage) and keeps the frame rate of the original movie.

I encoded finding nemo from a divx i had and it turned into a 98mb xvid avi. Played it in the ngage and its very watchable - smooth and clear. The main loss you will notice is the sound quality but its not that important. The ngage is pretty good for the movies as you can watch them sideways (portrait) which lets you use the screen better.

VODAFONE: €89

O2:€99

METEOR:€299

Guy:Incognito

can anyone who sees them in stock as either o2 r vodafone give a quick update here, cheers

embraer170

The O2 shop in Tralee town were certain they were sold out in O2 countrywide and would not be coming back.

For an O2 (non upgrade), your best bet is probably Heatons.
