I think that Nokia N-Gage is a powerful device for gaming but it wont last long.... I think that not many 3rd party companies will be interested and it wont have all the great titles that Nintendo has !!
But the sure thing is that the n-gage is a lot more powerful than the Advance
PS i didnt know about the PSP... is this the one? http://consoledatabase.retrofaction.com/consoleinfo/psp/

i have an artists rendition of the PSP,and i don't know if its been posted before, so go here: http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/vickman711
then, click on my photos, and thenclick on the image to enlarge.if you want the specs for it just ask me, but i think you guys have seen those.
by the way, i think the psp will overwhelm the N-gage based on a review of the n-gage that i read.

I know I'm right, I wasn't comparing them in the first place. Other people were, I was pointing out a simple fact. I work in the games industry and I can honestly say that I the N-Gage doens't pose a real threat to the GBA or PSP (though the PSP is unliekly to be released till about september 2004) |

And think about the pricing, the n-gage will surely cost more than the GBA so fewer will be sold. And game makers wouldn't want to invest in a small market. Then software selectoin will be limited. It's a vicious cycle.
Nokia made a gamble but it's a sensible wager in the right direction. They just have to take on the big guys. We just have to wait for the big companies like Nintendo and Sony to release similar products and the n-gage is history. Sorry for being so cruel to the little fella'.  |

P800 is directly compared to 3650.Let's see if you compare forthcoming 6600 with p800.You gave 800 euros and you have the best mobile.Congratulations.

Hmm.. Has anyone here actually read the E3 reports about the N-Gage or seen it in action?
I have. Contrary to what others have said, it's not as powerful as a PSone. Judging by the various ports juddering along with dodgy framerates, I'd guess it has about 60-70% the power of a PSone.
The games so far look poor, and framerates are shocking (Tomb Raider *does not* run 'like on the PSone' as someone put it.)
Also $299.99 is not cheap and could be the downfall of the machine. $199.99 or less would have been the more sensible option. (even if they have to make a loss on the hardware sold)
The reaction of the press and attendees at the E3 was also not good, the general feeling is that Nokia simply doesn't have a clue.
The N-Gage is looking doomed from the start.

From what i heard and saw from E3 reports it stinks. It is a poor phone with a poor phone function. Its downfall is having to take the battery out to switch the Memory cards. performance wise it is no where near the power of ps1. Probably a bit more powerful than the p800 in the graphical processing dept. The phone will probably sell like hot cakes to the young uns if its released on PAYG with subsided costs. I dont see it being a good phone. Nice try nokia.

grapas i dont know if the 6660 is better than the p800 in terms of power its sure have 65k screen that is ok but if the cpu of the phone isnt equal or better then ... and maybe duos is more expensive but its alot faster too,and i hear a rumor in another forum that maybe an upgrade fro p800 as a kit for 65k is coming maybe its just a rumor but i hope not  |

And has anyone seen the battery life of the N-Gage? It's laughable to call it a handheld console when it canes the battery quicker than the Game Gear went through 6 AA's. |

An upgrade of p800 will transform it to a screen of 65k colours?You mean software upgrade?Or a different hardware phone?I really doubt for the first one,the second would be a real let down for users of p800.I dont know about p900 though.But as far as i know,6600 will be more powerfull than 3650.
