Posted by: ardew

i have the orginal ngage.
drilled a hole so i dont have to side talk..

slapped a 215 mb card and im happy...

Posted by: Scottish Skyeandce

look: big
screen: though it's 12bit, it's TFT
RF: the most powerful I ever use as GSM phone
sound:
phone is okay, but using headset is recommend to avoid funny look, be aware when buying bt headset, make sure it supports "bt handsfree" and you'll be fine
battery: not bad, 4 hours of active use as modem

in conclusion
good:
super loud ringer/speakerphone, good RF, nice screen, 3band factory unlocked, Xpress-on faceplate support, s60 smartphone
bad:
the way to talk without headset, bad audio other than mp3, no bt headset support, the way to change MMC

Posted by: angel_wing0

its a very good phone for the price u are paying, just like 3650, nuff said

huh no bluetooth headset support?!?! what you mean? I think the phones good

I love agilemessenger

Posted by: candygogo

The other day at the train station, I saw a guy 'sidetalking' on his NGage, looking like he was a little embarrised. I caught his eye, held up my NGage and gave him a nod. He waved, smiled and gave me a nod back.

That all said, there's no way in HELL anyone would catch me holding that phone to the side of my head! I love the NGage, but I use the headset or loudspeaker (if the convo isn't going to be too personal and all.) A bt headset is in my future.

I have ericsson HBH-20, which ONLY supports bt headset, which is INCOMPATIBLE with s60
now it works well with 6820

Posted by: BowLoFTurTLe

i dont understand. n-gage has bluetooth but no BT headset seems like a weird sentence. maybe cause its ericson.

oh yea I heard that one didnt work... lol I never bring out my ngage to use it as a phone when I'm out... planning to sell it soon and get some money for a e398... I usually use my headset but its always tangled up

He meant no support for BT Headset Profile. The n-gage does support BT Handsfree Profile and so it can be used with any Nokia BT headset and with all of the newer non-nokia headsets too.

Point in fact, the Plantronics BT M3000 and the Jabra BT200/250 work with the N-Gage

. I've paired both to my N-Gage without any problems.

Coming back to the main topic, I've finally joined the ngage fan club by getting the original ngage.

Posted by: TriBand81

Welcome to the N-Gage family, we've seen quite a bit of growth here since I got mine last year in October.

Posted by: abhi

Big time increase in N-gage users, especially in India.

Posted by: gforce23

I'll agree with that...

Posted by: angel_wing0

if nothing goes wrong today, i am goin to become a proud ngage user too!

So are you N-Gaged again? Which one are you getting?

Posted by: angel_wing0

npo..the guy ditched me, saying that he doesnt want to sell it anymore

Posted by: gforce23

Keep searching for a cheap deal.
I'm sure u'll get one.

ouch
u jinxed it

i have learnt... never talk abt the phone u are going to get before u get it, cuz something always happens to me... usually a delay in mail... or the seller flakes

but i cant help it ... haha

man... if only the ngage looked more like a phone and less like a gba, i would not mind using one... ahh oh well 6600 here i come =)

ill try the ngage sooner or later
the cheapest one ive seen is 150 cdn... wasnt selling on hofo tho

Posted by: angel_wing0

actually there are cheaper ones...666 was selling his with a bl-6C for 130~

Posted by: ollywompus

so (ignoring the talk above about not talking about upcoming phone deals), i should be n-gaged hear pretty soon... or should i say n-gage QD'd...

man, it's been a while since i was symbianized, it'll be good to get back... we should petition howard for an N-Gage nested forum in the series 60 forum... even though it's an S60 phone, it's a beast all to itself... and if i remember correctly from my previous S60 forum experience with my 3650, triband seems like he'd be a helluva mod for that forum...

just my .02 cents!

PEACE!

Posted by: angel_wing0

i decide to give up on hofo and just win one off ebay...

Posted by: bronco

can someone tell me if the drilling hte whole in the phone housing thing to stop side talking is a good idea?.. like do u just drill the housing or the actual phone? how clear is the sound?

Posted by: angel_wing0

i think u have to drill the actual phone and speaker...i dont advice u to do it...just use a BT headset

Posted by: bronco

yea with the bluetooth headset, are all bt hdsets compatible with the ngage?..

Yea, all the newer ones are compatible. Just make sure the BT headset u buy has support for handsfree profile.

Posted by: bronco

im very hazy to bt headsets, never bought one or used one before, will the HS820 work?...and any bt headsets you recommend?

Posted by: China DRagon

so... ngage is better than the qd yeh?
also would it be possible to put a bl6c into an ngage and give more life to it?

Im more inclined towards the jabra bt250 and the hs-4w.

Any BT headset will work provided it supports BT Handsfree Profile.

think about it actually, but the 6670 is more like a 7610 faceplate/keypad modded with stereo...so it really depends on price...cuz the 7610 looks WAY cooler than the 6670 IMO

Posted by: bronco

dude u said above that you might get a 6630, if u got the money for that cant u get an ngage? like seriously, ngages are so cheap now... and u just sold yere 7610, theres gota be enouf dough from there right?

Posted by: angel_wing0

6630/70 wont be out till chrsitmas...i want to save enough to buy them...

so rite now i m only going to use an inexpensive phone...

Posted by: bronco

i just read in another forum that ngage QD supports SD cards as well? that true?!

Posted by: angel_wing0

of cuz its not true! else i will get it like now, eben tho it sucks comparing to the normal ngage

if sd cards were there in ngage qd
u wud have got it only for that reason ?
buying a phone only for its memory card

thats one good reason to buy a phone

Posted by: angel_wing0

why? cuz i can find 1 gb sd cards for the price of a 256 mmc..

and i have at least 600 mb worth of stuff that i can store in there

Posted by: angel_wing0

Posted by: Soul814

Posted by: Soul814

lol we arent greedy its not our fault theres a 4/5 difference in the value of the money. When I was in Canada the prices were the same as the US value for instance OJ

2.00 something US
2.00 something CAD

but of course the CAD is cheaper in terms of US dollars

Posted by: angel_wing0

well not that...for instinct u wont tell ppl u want to earn $20 on top of something when the other side knows that u have bought it for cheaper

Posted by: Soul814

well thats why i bought another one

got a good $160 for my first one

Posted by: angel_wing0

dont worry...ppl already pm'ed me about your ngage thanks to that post

Posted by: Soul814

confused but okay

Now now. I am not greedy. And I am from the us. I just dont want to let go of my ngage for so little since its the best phone I ever bought. Ever since I bought my ngage. I am not ammbaresed to show which phone i have. Now I make other people phones feel like junk when I pop out my ngage. I use my ngage everyday now. And now I hardley use my old phone except for fridays. Ahh mam see what you guys got me saying

Hehe

Here in the US every dollar counts. If someone buys something and they find themselves a dollar short. They will blow a fuse about how they want it back. :laughs: Here in the US you can do alot with one dollar especially on ebay.

Not to go off topic but. Anybody here ever found themself paying for food that is missing from your order at mc donalds or burger king. It happened to me twice already.

This tells you should check if everythings there before you leave.

Posted by: bronco

well thats when u do what i do..wait for a very crowded moment in mcdonalds or watever, then go up to the counter, like dont queue up, just go to the side and go "im still waiting for my order" theyll ask you what, dont say like a full meal just say a burger or fries or something..theyll be so rushed they wouldnt care about checking if youre legit....

Posted by: angel_wing0

i m going to get another shot at another ngage soon...

Similar happened to me at White Castle. Was very crowded, and like Harold&Kumar (funny @ss movie!) I just had to have some sliders. Anyhoo, had went to one far from home, so when I got my bag I just bounced. When I got home, I noticed that a couple of the doubles were singles. Talk about pi$$ed! What could I do but eat, curse myself out for not checking my bag, and sulk...

Hahaha. Get your parents to help you. Buying online is not safe for people your age. I remember when I young. I enterened a little of my info. Then I started getting mail saying to join the army and other government defense forces. And all these different colleges. But they all had my last name spelled wrong
