My N-Gage review:

Pros

+Excellent, bright and clear screen (people really should try it and not just look at the numbers 4096)
+FM radio and MP3 player. So useful. Can even use the loudspeaker.
+loud polyphonic ringtones (they sound good too) and ability to use WAV/MP3 ringtones
+Java and Symbian games (Flo Boarding is great - and free btw. Once I get my 256MB MMC I no longer have to worry about changing memory cards because I can store everything i need on just one)
+Applications manager and the inbuilt Java installer
+Symbian OS 3rd party applications: instant messengers, internet browsers, teletext viewers, keyguards, GB emulators etc
+USB cable, so easy to install stuff on the phone
+Series 60 is so awesomely good an UI
+good looks IMO
+PRICE. Can't find all this stuff for so low price in any other phone
+Excellent earpiece voice quality
+loudspeaker is very loud
+build quality: solid, no creeking
+inbox stuff: stereo headset, pc suite, audio manager, Nokia Game (Flo Boarding), Space Impact Evolution X, USB cable, adapter cable, 32MB MMC

Cons

-battery life: you just wanna play with the phone all the time and the battery runs out
-internal memory only 4MB, you end up keeping the most useful applications on it (so you don't lose them when changing the MMC), but there are so many so useful applications!
From Nokias to an SE to whatever.

Nearly everybody has a mobile phone in Finland, nobody cares how you hold yours. So that doesn't bother me. Besides the sound quality is so good. In case you're narrow minded it's possible to hold it like a normal phone too.

About its looks... like people keep saying in the "P900 is ugly" thread, it's a matter of opinion. I love it. The keypad backlight is orange which combined with the bright screen and red / green answer buttons looks great, especially in the dark (IMO).

Why not just buy a gameboy and this add-on when it comes out.
The little attachment on the top of it turns the GB into a phone



And the n-gage demo model in our local games shop looked liked it had a really dull screen(i had a quick go of tomb raider),also the guy in the shop said he was told they have problems with the n-gage.

Edit;i shudda said that the phone is only for standard connections,but you guys have more than 1 phone most of the time anyway And if you already have a GB

I can do a lot more with the N-Gage. Besides that GBA with the addon thingy looks just daft. And the games don't look as good. And it don't play MP3's or have an XHTML browser etc. To me, N-Gage just suits better than any combination of other devices that includes GBA. I would never buy GBA simply for gaming.
