GBA Watch Out

Ok, I admit it I fell for Nokias advertsing and bought this as the Ultimate Gamers phone (being an Ultimate Gamer and all). The phone basically has the same graphical capacity as the original PS or the Sega Saturn, something the Gameboy Advance promised but has yet to deliver (compare Tony Hawks on the N-Gage to the GBA version - Ngage wins hands down). The phone also includes a built in FM radio, MP3 player (a seperate memory card is needed to hold the tunes, it slots inside the phone near the battery), built in bluetooth (to connect to some devices wirelessly), XHTML (for web surfing) compatability and all the other phone stuff you get with a fun. The downsides, you look weird and can barley hear people when using it as a phone (although via the included hands free kit it works a dream). Size wise its smaller than the original GBA but bigger than the GBA SP, IMO its lighter than both Gameboys. Although it has a couple of kinks in its launch line up games these will proberly be dealt with with the next wave of games. The phone also doubles as an organiser. So if youre looking to pickup a phone, MP3 player, GBA SP and an electronic oraniser the N-gage makes a great all rounder. Battery life is also pretty good. 150hrs on standby, 8hrs if the radio, MP3 player or games are player. If youre looking just for a phone, dont buy. If youre looking for a new gaming platform, pick it up - you might just be surprised.

Big But Small. Small But Big

The Nokia N-Gage is a fantastic games console sure to wipe nintendo off the market (with a little help from Sony [PS2, PSP] and Microsoft [XBox]). With Its incredible 4096-colour screen it is as visually powerful as the PSOne.And its got top names backing it up too. With Tthe likes of Tomb Raider, Tony Hawks , Sonic The Hedgehog and many more this is surely a must for all games fans. However, as a phone it is a little on the large side. And the microphone and speaker are on the spine, so you look a right fool when youre calling someone. But the menu is fantastically easy to use, even if youve never used a Nokia before. It is in a grid form (you can change it toclassic Nokia view if you want) and you can change the order of applications and create new folders with incredible ease, just like you would on a PC desktop. and with new MIDI technology, you can have ACTUAL SONGS as your ringtone. The menu shortcut keys are helpful too.instead of going through all the menus, there is a music player button, a radio button and two more selection keys which can be modified to link to any application, and the location will appear on-screen, just like other Nokias. The music player is CD quality and if you bu a memory card (which fits in to the game slot) you can store hours of music on your phone, and even download tracks off your favourite CDs to use as ringtones! There is also an FM radio which you can listen to, even whilst playing games! There is also Bluetooth technology built in to the phone so you can play wireless multi-player games against your mates. None of your friends have an N-Gage? Dont worry, you can play anyone in the world over GPRS. And with the N-Gage arena, you can see how well your high scores count up with the rest of the world. There is also a loudspeaker, so you dont need headphones to listen to music. All in all, a great phone with huge potential in the video-gaming and communications industries. A bit pricy though, at over 200 pounds.

N-GAGE Amazing or what??

Just purchased the N-gage. Its amazing it has everything you want or need, its like the wonder game console/phone. It comes as a cheap package like for £209.99 for a games console, mp3 player, Video player, bluetooth,mobile phone, etc. if you bought all of those separately it would come to a lot, i mean a lot more expensive and its portable. Here is the Work out: Game Console (Gameboy Advance SP): £89.99 MP3 PLAYER: £109.99 Mobile Phone: £199.99 Bluetooth: £309.99 thats half of it and its a lot over. TOTAL: 709.96, (£409.97) more a saving of : £409.97. And its all portable and eficient (rechargeable battery) nt l.ike the others more batteries. Hope my review on the N-GAGE has helped you
