New Discussion Thread
Hello everyone, hope you had a happy and safe holiday season.
I don’t have any news or updates for you on N-Gage First Access this week– and believe me, if I did, I’d post it right away — but I thought you might like a new post to add comments on, since the last couple were getting rather long. I am trying to get you guys an update soon, but no word yet.
Stay tuned, and thanks for your patience.

hello ikona
No worries abt the next gen ngage launch delay. I think we are eyeing march 2008?
http://www.mobilemag.com/content/100/345/C14126/
Do you want to comment on this leaked Nokia ( possibly Ngage) patent?
January 4th, 2008 at 10:35 am
N-Gage brand is cursed and it is going to fail again!
Why don’t you realise Discover N-Gage application(for N73) and some demos while we are waiting????????????
N-Gage had to many delays and a lot of people have lost interest.
So, it can’t success.
If Nokia wants to do something; they need to realise Beta version of N-Gage application. If that thing worked in August; it must work now. Little bugs can be fixed later!

Hey,
My N81 is ready and waiting for the beta version.
January 4th, 2008 at 11:44 am
My sources tell me the release date is now targetted for MARCH or JUNE. ikona, is this true? Can you tell us anything at all?
January 4th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
march 2008? lol… this is to late… many games fro ngage are already march 2007 finish!!!
January 4th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
I wait, i hope the comeback is this monthe.
January 4th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
i was a legend on the old ngage and i will certainly not be taking part in any off the next gen! For one simple season that is NOKIA DONT CARE ABOUT THERE CUSTOMERS! Fact! Just keep giving them money and they’ll just keep treating everyone like the dog shite on the bottom off there shoes!
January 4th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
OOOOH NO I CANT WAIT
PLZ WE WANT THE GAMES THIS WEEK PLZ PLZ OR DEMO !!!!!!!!
January 4th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
don’t shout anymore,what we want to hope is some real products!why should we believe you,for you have cheated us just now?
January 4th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
i have the asphalt urban 3 demo on my n95,i had to sign it myself and obtain a certificate,and then download an application launcher to play it.why dont nokia put more demos out to keep the people who made them rich happy? And why are they not bothering to answer questions like this? I feel like battering holy crap out off someone! And then nokia will be responsible for people getting burst! And if i go to jail for bursting someone maybe when i get free the bloody games and application will be available!
January 4th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
Ngage is a failure..Im switching Sony PSP..

January 4th, 2008 at 7:06 pm
i have updated the firmware on my n95 off the nokia website and the new version came with the ngage demo including asphalt and fifa. Check it out.
January 4th, 2008 at 10:59 pm
I purchased an N81 in good faith that n-gage was to be released in December. What a fool I am. Most of the marketing was geared towards n-gage, does this mean I can get a refund Nokia? Come on, let’s go already. My handset will be out of date or worn out by the time I get to use it for what I bought it for!!!! We had a post saying ‘next week’ not long ago, the bug you found can’t be that bad and hard to fix. Get your act together and stop lying to us Nokia.
January 5th, 2008 at 12:22 am
If it hits on to Feb/March time i will lose interest, if they want me to buy games they’d better release it this month.
January 5th, 2008 at 2:43 am
Nokia don’t now how to treat customers and they already lost most of them. Just check out how many comments are now and how many there was 2 months ago… Pathetic…
January 5th, 2008 at 2:51 am
it would be better if he didn’t post it . I can’t wait anymore . . .
January 5th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
hey u guys need to chill n gage is great and u must like it if u are posting comments i dont want to wait till march but i dont want software that dont work right nokia people want and need ur n gage and games also look in to making pocket kingdom 2 wot a game safe safe dont leave it to long nokia i really want to get the most out of my n95 ty
January 6th, 2008 at 7:38 am
Just like to say, Nokia, whatever you do, however long it takes… please don’t say a word about a launch date until N-Gage is actually fully tested and ready to launch.
If you need to do public beta testing, call it public beta testing, and people will be understanding about the limits of a beta version.
To get everyone back in good spirits, it would also be really nice if you threw in a free game. Snakes Subsonic for example would be an excellent choice as the original was free, it has broad appeal, and it’s a first party title so Nokia can do what it likes with it.
January 6th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
my N81 din even show da media files. Nokia says da CD PROVIDED IS CORRUPT . . .
EVA FEEL DA HOLE NOKIA THING IS CORRUPT . . save thier guts :p me to shifting to Sony.
January 7th, 2008 at 4:33 am
I think people need to chill out a little bit more - they seem to be getting way too uptight about this not being released.
I could understand if we’d all forked out money for our N95 (or others) on the only promise that N-Gage would be here.
I for one, bought the phone because it was a beautiful and brilliant phone WITHOUT the promise of N-Gage…..surely i get an extra bonus!!
I would rather Nokia release a fully-functioning product that i can use straight away without problems, rather than moaning and wanting them to give it me now, when there arent as many games as we would like, and will still have bugs.
Patience people! Its a virtue! Nokia will come up with the goods when they are happy that we will be happy with the product!!
Peace
January 7th, 2008 at 10:55 am
Well… I gess you have N95 and not N81…
N81 was advirtized for beeing N-GAGE phone…
Imagine getting a N95 and the GPS didnt work… its kind of the same for N81 users…
January 7th, 2008 at 11:23 am
I’d like to second Wookie’s sentiment. Plus, remember folks, Nokia is gearing up the platform to be included in tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of phones. Most people on this site/blog/forum are old N-Gage users, who, though important, are not the big picture - no matter how much you/we would all like to think we are. Early adopters yes, and therefore it is crucially important that the system works from the get go without major bugs.
January 7th, 2008 at 12:30 pm
Personally i took the n81 based on the n gage and 8 gig memory. I’m upset that n gage is not ready, but i’m pleased with the phone i have. I went to the 5300 after my n 70, and i can’t believe how i lived without symbian! Seriously guys, you have bought a phone that will be capable of playing n gage games, remember that it is a phone first and foremost. Yes i think that after the delayed launch and lack of information and general hanging around, it’d be nice for nokia to apologise to those who have been waiting with a free game, but it won’t stop me buying games if nokia don’t. I think it is time to chill a bit, then let n gage really blow up away! Peace out x
January 8th, 2008 at 5:44 am
Crusha, I bought my N81 in November expecting to be able play games on the go, instead I’ve so far forked out £105 on something I can’t use (seriously have you tried playing the Java games, its impossible as they don’t disable the music buttons unlike the ngage so every 30 seconds my game gets paused as a track starts up then stops), if I’d have known the wait was gonna be this long I’d have stuck with my original NGage on PayG.
And if Nokia think they can get away with just giving away Snakes or/and Space Impact as a poor excuse for an apology then they’ve got another thing coming, those games were free before and so should still be
January 8th, 2008 at 6:57 am
i m waiting for ur n-gage beta version for n95 i think i will have to wait long nd this is not fair i got it in the holidays so that i can play n-gage games on my n95 but till now no progress i was not expecting this thing from nokia so pls do something
January 8th, 2008 at 7:37 am
I see your point Sergio, and please dont take this the wrong way, but if you only bought the phone for N-Gage then you’ve done yourself a major mis-justice!! A phone is essentially a phone….and if your N81 is anything like my N95 you should be jumping with joy at the pure technology in your hand!!
If N-Gage is released and its not working, full of bugs, etc then im sure all of us will be the first to jump on Nokia’s back and give them some grief…..however in the meanwhile, a little more patience and we could be on the verge of mobile-gaming history!!
Much love to all!!
January 8th, 2008 at 11:01 am
Thanks for your imput Wookie, I was king of writting with a ‘hot’ head…
It’s not only for that, but I think nokia should compensate people who bought N81 considering they thought they could play N-Gage…
I had an E65 and bought the N81 to experiance in first hand the newgen-N-Gage and the phone (N81) is now cheaper than when I bought it…
January 8th, 2008 at 5:37 pm
“but I think nokia should compensate people who bought N81 considering they thought they could play N-Gage…”
You will get to play, just wait damnit. It’s not like they’ve canned the whole project. JUST WAIT! Quit your bitching. It’s not going to make things better.. The more people complain the more nokia will put it off to make sure it’s perfect.
January 9th, 2008 at 6:57 am
bit fed up waitin got n81 8gb for ngage and music not impressed with either should of got iphone
January 9th, 2008 at 11:21 am
Kris: YOU only read the post if you want… LOL…
Seems you’re not the one paying for your mobile phone… Maybe daddy bought it for you, cause if you had payed for it and kept seeing its price comming down you would say “QUIT BITCHING”… lol
January 9th, 2008 at 11:23 am
By the way… i think the 50€ that came down on the price od N81 since I bought it could buy a few N-GAGE games…
January 10th, 2008 at 6:36 am
I jus don’t get one thing: why first say that ngage2 will come out in November and then delay it till hell knows when??!! People simply get dissapointed in the whole concept of the new gaming platform and turn away from it. Can’t they let out one game at least - Asphalt 3? What on Earth is so difficult?
January 10th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
ngage 2.0 will be never, well if they were already a long time ago coming up to her seriously would be accessible.
Icona - stop telling fairy tales for people because they aren’t already amusing me!
January 12th, 2008 at 12:54 pm
date starting pl platform? My n95 8gb wait for n-gage
January 12th, 2008 at 3:26 pm
dude you seriously need to chill. I’ve got my n95 on a plan so it makes no difference to me. I tell people to have patience and just wait and you start bagging me? How’s that helping ngage come out sooner? I’m just getting sick of coming on here for updates and reading all there comments from little kids moaning..
January 12th, 2008 at 5:02 pm
A cross-platform n-gage - PC game, that combines, online gaming and mobility, this N-Gage platform is sought to be the next revolution in gaming experiences, something that may change the way we play games.
Look at the big picture, what If one day, GPS was included to your gaming experience, what If “presence” was included, aka Nokia Sensor.
So many options and new features would be included for all game developers to benefit from, and utilize in their games, and I would be bold in saying that maybe some new gaming genres might be created,….
All those possibilites are quite interesting to me, N-GAGE should be huge, and the delays are a high indictor of Nokia, putting their customers first, by working longer to provide us with a top-notch gaming experience.
The possibilites are endless and the potentials are huge.
What’s a little wait? really
ENJOY …
Regards,
An N81 user, anxiously waiting. : )
January 14th, 2008 at 8:52 am
Im also not happy with this delay, I have an N81 and been playing crappy games i have downloaded from the web, in wich you cant use the propper buttons or widescreen functionality that ngage games will offer.
although im enjoying my cell phone, its really amazing and i have downloaded some applications such as radio internet, a bookreader and some podcasts, and of course uploaded about a thousand songs and lots of pictures, making albums, playlists etc.. juts trying to use all those applications to pass time and make waiting shorter.
cheers
January 15th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
why are nokia not responding to these comments? There are thousands off people waiting to hear from you nokia! Speak up god damn it,wee just want to know whats happening,this silence approach is really pissing people off.come on say something i think wee deserve that much.
January 16th, 2008 at 4:23 pm
I think we need a hands up of who here bought there phone prior to the november ‘official’ release date of N-Gage and those that purchased their in between november and christmas.
I had a phone, the original N-Gage (and not QD either), it did what I wanted, played the radio, played my music thanks to massive mmc cards you can now get, played the games and was really comfortable to use (I’m still not used to texting one handed!), so for me the only reason I bought the N81 was to get the N-Gage 2 application and now I’m paying more for something that offers me less than my previous phone as I’m bound to a contract for it
January 20th, 2008 at 9:39 am
I bought my N81 at the end of December, the guy at the shop said that the games will be available in January, well it’s the 21st and there is no games and i doubt the application will become available until after January.
Still it is a great phone but would be better if i could do what i was told i could do when i was told i could do it. I would prefer at least an update every now and then on the situation, leaving us with no information to go on is really making me think that Nokia is not concerned about their customer base.
January 20th, 2008 at 11:20 am
It is unacceptable to launch the N81 and other NGAGE phones to the market without having any serious plans of launching the games. Unbeleivable!!
WHEN will NGAGE be available?
TIME for NOKIA to communicate!
January 23rd, 2008 at 4:02 pm
hi my n95 waithing a nice vision also.and i need some help i want to downlot game and i cant why
January 23rd, 2008 at 4:47 pm
hi, guys. Bought my n82 on 28th dec, for 850$. My previous phone was n73me, and i’m really surprized, it’s like buying a cure2duo instead of your old p4. N82 really rocks! And it beats even the n95, having a better camera with xenon. And, u know, i’m not that mad about the ngage 4 some reasons: i got 2 installed games (aspha3, fifa) and lots of cool 3d java games, with graphics like in the spmark heli test.
Ps: can i put a 8 gb micro sd in my n82?
January 23rd, 2008 at 9:23 pm
getting bored of waiting and waiting for something. Been keeping a eye on this site for months now. Either reliece something, or the actual ngage or just leave it. Can only wait so long and then just move on to something els.
January 23rd, 2008 at 9:54 pm
Hi evryone, what new on n-gage???
January 26th, 2008 at 5:35 am
i got N95-2and didnt have to sign.download launches or get certificate either way thats a hassle jus for a demo.seems people love demos.i rather have full game
January 26th, 2008 at 5:43 am
jus wanted to add didnt no my N95GB had ngage.me i got for the state o art technology more room for games as usually have over 60 at a time and music but mostly for the 5mpixel camera loved my N80 but love this better only downside is that the nav buttons are too wee

Hi all!
G’night
