I bought one of those, it turned up DOA.
Why Nintendo does not release a phone I don't know, then at least it wouldn't come broken out of the box. I wonder what Nokia will do in regards to gaming after Win8 ships. The quality of their hardware is great, perhaps they will try to make a new "N-Gage" or whatever. This is assuming MS allows emulators on Win8 Metro.
Did you replace it - the fact it was broken means you were unlucky and we've all bought hardware that didn't work even Nintendo machines! Still works well with UAE.
