Just to add my two cents, I don't think this is being marketed to gamers, who all realize that your better off with a cell phone and a GBA. I loved Pandemonium tho...

Anyone would take GBA over N-Gage. GBA is made 100% for games while N-Gage isn't. Besides, its current games don't look too promising anyway.

anyone looking for purely GAMES.... i doubt that anyone would pick n-gage then over GBA.
However if your looking for some wierd-*** looking telephone+mini-computer/internet thingy, that sure LOOKS like its made for playing games (have you ever seen it? that looks NOTHING like a phone or anything else, looks like a handheld), but you want some fun games to play that aren't just snake/whatever-else-you-got-on-your-calculator... then n-gage is for YOU ;D

Did anyone see how you use that thing as a phone in EGM? You hold the SIDE (the narrow part) against your head. It looks silly enough already to use as a phone in the normal way, but holding the side against your head? I wouldn't like to use it in public.

If thats true then I'd probably never use it as a phone.

I'm using a GBA SP that cost me 100$ and a Motorola 120e that costs 180 bucks. Combined, that's 280$. So as you can see, it's cheaper than the N-gage, and is a much better game player and cell phone. Not surprisingly, my cell phone and SP together take up less space in my pocket than the N-gage. Judging from all this, why would I ever even consider an N-gage?

I believe it can play MP3s. It also has wireless multiplayer. I still wouldn't want one though.

That makes it like impossible to hold between our neck and shoulder too.

Only thing i see going for it is wireless multiplayer... but they probably found some way to **** that up too ;D hmmm i know, what about noone else owning one? and about the side holding thing... WHY?! WHY!? it would've been SO much better if you held it like.. you'd think you'd hold it. I mean the only reason i see people getting these is if you want one of those super-techno thingies, and some slightly better than average phone games+stuff. And then they go and make it as if it were purely a handheld gaming thing, which IMO should've only been a minor aspect.

None of the games coming out for it (except for maybe Sonic N) are original. They've all been seen somewhere before. Pandemonium is a direct port from the Sega Saturn version and is a disappointment if you already played the original.

Sonic N is a port off Sonic Advance (GBA). So you're right, there are no original games for it. Thanks for pointing that out, though, I honestly didn't realize it...now I have another vital point to argue against

the n-gage in my opinion is a sytem that will die off like the sega gamegear,neo geo pocket,etc. with the exception that those systems were fairly priced, and didn't DESERVE to die like the N-gage. I realize that that's not really the point of your post, but comparing the N-gage to the Neo Geo Pocket or Gamegear is just comical.
