Nokia World '07 - N•GAGE desk with text, pictures, and video

About This Video
Just thought I'd make a post and share some things I found out about the up and coming N•Gage platform, which is to be released within the next few weeks, no date is been confirmed by Nokia at this time, it is just "December" could be tomorrow, could be 3 weeks time, more likely 3 weeks time.

Here is just photo of the N•Gage stand, which had N81 8gb, N81 and N73 all set up with N•Gage application running on them.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take as many photos as I would of liked to, due to my battery flat, and also I was suffering huge problems with my N95 camera (which is now fixed btw, was firmware issue).

Now N•Gage will 1st roll out within the next few weeks, 1st for the Nokia N81 and then Nokia N73 models, and then for all compatible devices after that. I don't know why they doing it like this, but they are, and in fact, we question the N•Gage guy pretty hard he looked scared of us actually, lol, 4 freaks right in his face asking him why they release N•Gage on phone that lacks the 3d hardware accelerator his answer was, that they are aiming the N•Gage towards the masses.

It seems that Nokia are using the N81 as there primary N•Gage gaming device, as this would be released first for N81, and also as it has the extra 2 buttons. Also discovered, that the media keys on the classic N95 will NOT be used for the up coming N•Gage games, BUT they are going to be used on the N95 8gb version, again I asked him why this was, and he said that actually no final decision was made about it, but serious talks about it had been taken place, and it sounded to me that the media keys will be used in N•Gage games only on the N95 8gb version..

Again back to the questioning of this poor guy (he was scared of us Symbian Freaks I'm sure lol) we asked questions about hardware, and even showed to him the power of the N95 graphic accelerator, with the Global Race game, compared to the asphalt N•Gage game, even he was very, very impressed and couldn't believe it was a freeware game. We asked questions like, why isn't the N95 graphics hardware accelerator being taken advantage off in the up and coming N•Gage games, again, Nokia are aiming towards the masses.
