Anyone here get an N-Gage?
Nope. Don't even plan on getting one. Too expensive. I would if they were half price.

nope, too expensive. Maybe when it ends up in the dollar store a couple years from now.

The N-Gage is a great phone (although a little clumpy) but a lousy gaming platform!

Their sales numbers for October were nothing less than terrible.

Same here, it's crap!
i have a friend that works at GameStop, he says they haven't sold any of them. They still have the 12 they received back in October.
It looks really uncomfortable.

Looks breakable...
Yeah, and it doesn't look like it's a thing that can take a fall from the pocket or something.

I tried using one in a store that was for demonstration. Too bad it had nothing but little 3-second demos of still pictures.

Over at the gamefaqs N-Gage boards there have been countless comparisons between an N-Gage and a Taco.

No, the Ngage is one of the worst phones ever made.

No wonder it runs at 83 cents an issue.

It looks kinda neat, but it is nowhere near worth the price to me.
The N-Gage is not that good of a cell phone. There are better looking, smaller, and easier to hold phones.
Nokia should have made N-Gage like a more traditional cell phone, and had a slot for a game to be put in for easy gaming.

I have no intrest in the N Gage at all. Its not that great of a phone and so far has no good games. Helix could be proming but i dont think it will succed.
I played N-Gage at my local Target and I was really impressed with the graphics...I knew they had capability of a PSX availible in an handheld fashion...unfortunatly for N-Gage...since its not a product of Nintendo or Sony, it won't be seeing great games and won't be bout by many either... personally, i though the N-Gage's controls were rather confusing, it was a wierd set of buttons... not in my best interest to buy either
Like everyone else said, N-Gage is crap.
Lousy button scheme+No good games=Crap
I give this system till February.

are you kidding? february? it's gonna stop being sold reall soon, like in minutes, or seconds. it's crapfest 2003 at n-gage town and ur invited n gage owners! i haven't met a single n-gage owner yet....and hope i dont', cuz if i did, i would take it, smash it, step on it, crap on it, lite it a blaze, and throw it stinkin burning carcas into a trash compactor.

maybe i wouldn't take it taht far, but still, it aint worth 200 bucks
true that Patrick, sort of like how the Game.Com was...remember that guys?

Having to remove the batteries just to change a game? And with that price I think not. Never, I like my GBA just fine.

but does anyone honestly know anyone who has an n gage, and if so, what do they think?

I think is a waste of time really, no competition at all with the GBA

It's a waste of time and it's a waste of money for Nokia. They need to realize quickly that this thing isn't going to sell and that they might as well give up now before Sony comes along with the PSP.
Lovebird
11-29-2003, 06:57 PM
i dunno....the way the psp is goig...sounds like it's gonna be $200....so that might not do so well either...hopefully, i can't stand playstation and sony...but that's another an argument for another time

Eew! N-Gage! What a dumb handheld! You get like 4 hours of battery life if you switch between the functions, and I heard this one deal. If you trade in your GBA and 7 games, you get $100 off the astronomical price. And its supporters say that Nokia isn't trying to dethrone the GBA! For shame, Nokia, for shame.

Is that deal true? If so, Nintendo should sue Nokia right away!

Yup, it's true! It was in a commercial on G4, the game channel.

Yeah, but I'm sure Nokia didn't set that deal up, it's probably the retailers.

What is sad about the Ngage that its Sh*t console, a Sh*t phone, it has a Sh*t games and its commericals are One Hude Sh*t itself. its sucks man...its pretty amn sucks!
Wow! It's looking good in stores. It's only 500$ here and that's not much for a good phone.

pft, N-Gage, I heard they haven't even sold over 5000 yet. 5000! They projected sales of 5 MILLION for their first year! Oh, and the PSP aint gona work either. Looks like a tamogochi. Remember thoughs?
N-Gage stunk... I played it at Target and it stunk. It had PSX like graphics but their were so many buttons it was so confusing... totally a turn off
OMG my friends brother let me have a go on it and my God was it crap.
I have an N-Gage! 10x better than the stupid GBA! Great fun, too! Go buy one!!1

That's funny because the only places you can get it are Gamespot and EB. Target doesn't have it.

How can you people say that, when it has such good games like Sonic N and Splinter Cell. Which are of course just ports of GBA games. Button layout is the worst part about it. Unless you count the frustration of changing games. I would rather look like a 10 year old.

A while back Gameinformer.com did did a comparison between the n-gage and a Taco Bell taco. They even taste tested both, in the end, the taco won because it tastes better, you can eat it, and it's cheap.
