Of course, the encyption on the "cartridges" has been cracked already, so it would immediatlly support the piracy of the Amiga glory days.


Yes already you can download 34 games and 24 aplications as an 89mb file not good if you are selling the games. :-?

I can't even imagine how much Nokia has wasted for marketing.. at least at Assembly'03 they had huge trucks turned into entertainmentcenters, coupled with a row of brand new 4x4 wheelers.

Too bad the machine itself is piece of crap and will deserverly flop. So far I haven't met anyone who could say he actually thinks it was worth the money, not even the people who are now developing for it :)

Unfortunately, AOS4 is simply not in a league that would make this sensible. Look at the shortcomings that an average user would face choosing this platform.

Just as one example, look at the state of browsers on the Amiga. None of them are up to current standards. I'd love to see the Amiga gain more ground in the computing industry but, for the time being, there are too many shortcomings that need to be addressed.

Indeed.. doesn't look like it's gonna be a success. You need to use the device sideways to make a phonecall for crying out loud!!



Reading some reviews of the device, I see most people say it is too big, too heavy and doesn't feel solid (cheap plastic exterior).

Ouch!

[EDIT]
I also read you need to remove the battery to change the game? Is that true?

Terrible? Let me re-write that.

Their marketing is just terrible. But some things are brilliant, like half naked girls and cheap things like that.

Tell me you made a mistake? :-)

The ads Nokia were running for the N-Gage on BBCWorld were pretty bad too.  It's some guy from Nokia sitting on a stool spouting jargon for about a minute,  Then in the dying seconds he holds up a switched off N-Gage.  A minute long ad without even demonstrating the product! (and making us lose a few braincells thanks to that guy rambling)  
Now that's impressive on a truly large scale of stupidity...

I'd recommend you guys save your programming time and talent for a platform that has some support...

N-Gage is a superb handheld device. With it, it comes 32mb mem, radio, mp3 player, video player, java, mms, bluetooth, and I have the phone.. I am really happy with it! And you can hold the phone normally without any problems at all! Handsfree is also included with the package.

People is yelling at the same things about Amiga. Why cant we be more openminded? Do we have to listen to everyone else? Isnt that the reason for why you use Amiga and not a PC? etc...

N-Gage is superb, and is at the moment worlds fastest mobilephone.

Support this project,... go on and Vote!

I don't know what voting for some old Amiga games has to do with helping 'Nokia know Amiga is alive'.

Nokia doesn't need to know Amiga is alive, get a license for your favorite game, develop it...meet Nokia's quality standards then sell it.

I don't think there is any mystery to this one.  Its a perfectly doable project, so go do it.

I'm not going to vote about jack...  its not a voting thing, its a doing thing.

I'd wait for what Sony will have to offer with their handheld. They gots the knowhow for a good gaming machine, unlike Nokia.

And my feelings got nothing to do with "hearing from others". I have tried it several times myself. BTW, if someone hasn't tried it yet and doesn't know anyone owning one, you can probably test it in larger supermarkets for free. There is one on show in pretty much all of them (at least in Finland)

I'd MUCH rather see Amiga and Nintendo Shaking hands, my store did not sell a SINGLE N-Gage all holiday season, they are pointless, and have a bad rep, why give Amiga a worse one by promoting it on that already has been hardware...

...and I don't see them doing all that great in the UK either.

I'd rather OS5 on the N-Gage if anything, but that's all.

IMHO:

N-GAGE sucks!

Okay, it really sucks!

Bad game cartridge design -- this is the main reason I will not get one.  I don't want to take the battery out and so forth just to change which game I am playing.  It's cumbersome.

For on the go game playing...

Tapwave (www.tapwave.com), PocketPCs, GP32 (www.gp32news.com) , GameBoy SP and the future PSP are more to my liking.

I have a PocketPC (run Tao-Group's Intent on it) and GameBoy SP, looking at getting a Tapwave or GP32 soon.

OUT OF MEMORY is something i see on all NGAGE units..., 99% of all shops pulled the plug on ngage here in norway now, after the riddiculous sales (1 unit per 200 mobilephone sold or something)

beyond that its cool to see crystal dynamics developing for it, though rrather sad as theese was supposed to have developed for amiga instead.
