Who's still using a N-Gage for gaming?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Bcollins521

Besides N-Gage games, which I never really found to appealing, I recently picked up a Gameboy Micro and bought a memory card and have been playing games to my heart content...gba,nes,gb....

Do you guys still use your phone for mainly gaming or is it just kinda a hit or miss, like whenever you get a chance to play (toilet playing, and such

)

I thought about picking one up if I found one for dirt cheap but still haven't been able to convince myself to...there are a few games newer that came out for the N-Gage that I don't have but nothing that makes me say "Oohh ahh I gotta play that game"

Yea I know I could play some on my N70 but it's a PITA to do it with a regular phone.

Thanks,
Brian

Well I figured you did, I think someone will have to pry the N-Gage out of your cold dead fingers...what all do you usually use the N-Gage for on a daily basis?

mostly mp3's and sms.

The thing is i want a N91, but almost no one is selling the silver colour in gsm bst (thats the only colour i want), and the brand new price is MORE expensive than a N73. RIDICOULOUS

Posted by: Bcollins521

Yea the N91 is nice but the cost is a little over rated

When is the N-Gage 2 coming? I haven't been into the Nokia games since I ditched my N-Gage original this time last year for a Treo 650 and Nintendo DS.

Im a dedicated Palm OS user now, but whats up with my old pal the N-GAGEE!?

Posted by: Bcollins521

They dropped the N-Gage...last time I saw it they were going to bring out some games but that's it

indeed...sad sad sad

Posted by: Bcollins521

Yea I would have to agree...it was a pretty decent phone for gaming...if they would of added a camera for those camera happy people and uped the memory they could have a good phone. Update the s60 OS of course too, better screen to compete

Posted by: angel_wing0

well they should make it like the n95...it can be vertical and horizontal for the factor, then it will be a HUGE hit

i game on mines. all my games are " COUGH COUGH" normally i leave it in my toolbox at work. toilet gaming and no customers is when the n-gage comes out. Or waiting in long lines that i know ahead of time.

finally got off my butt* to order some 1GB ATP MMCs, so both my N·Gage QD and my N·Gage Milk Chocolate will be back in action again! MP3s and what not for the sidetalker and games a'plenty for the QD.

if T wasn't being so hard-headed about an upgrade to a Pearl, my QD would see regular use on cingular. although if NOKIA hadn't squashed our dreams and instead made one more device (with EDGE certainly, and maybe a camera) then we probably wouldn't be having this discussion.

* now if buy will get off theirs and ship them...

Posted by: angel_wing0

yeah its sad that they wont give it another try

Posted by: ThaHitMan60

That's part of the reason the ngage has died and perhaps will never come back in a new and improved package. The vertical screen didnt help but games being hacked and available within days of their release has not inspired Nokia to trust the gaming world....at least that's what I think. I've owned 2 originals and 2 QD's and thought they were just incredible..

it is sad nokia is not coming out with another one..they are just about to get it right..

I guess they are banking on phones like the N93 and 95 with 3d graphics engines to replace the ngage notion.

and whatever happened to this....god I would kill for this to come alive!!

Just bought a QD for cheap and Im really liking it, just bought 21 games, 1GB MMC, and new full housing for it, it is so comfortable for texting and gaming, battery BL-6C and RF are amazing, I am just astounded at how much I enjoy this little funky taco!

Posted by: angel_wing0

i am very sad to say, i dont use my ngage anymore. It's officially retired.

Posted by: Bcollins521

NOOOOOOOO!!!! Say it isn't so, you have always had your N-Gage as a phone you used!. Lol....I miss mine..it was fun and helped time pass really well

Anybody still playing games? I'm still trying to finish Elder Scrolls, Wish I could get the games on my N95, as it is I carry the QD with me everywhere in my backpack + about 4 games just in case

Posted by: angel_wing0

not really anymore...i think i will just brn them and...well leave them alone~

Posted by: Midnght

Still own it, still use it, though i'll be upgrading soon as nokia gets off their duffs and announces the ngage software platform for the new Nphones and higher.

E60 hopefully will run it as well. You won't be able to runt eh old games till they remake them but eh such is life to keep me gaming.

But Nage love it to death the cheapest smartphone out there still. }:>)
