No. Hence, the price.

I proudly carry an original model NGage, and it's folks like the two of you that just bad mouth it without trying it out. Not only does it play games (albeit some bad, there are some very good ones, like FIFA and THPS), it plays various Audio and Video files, Symbian and J2ME games, Radio Stations, as well as PDA functions. It's a great smart phone, and pretty much beats out most phones for what it can do.

Compare it to many other models at Phone Scoop (http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/compare_select.php), and you'll see that it's much more than meets the eye.

Guyver has one.

NGage isn't too bad, it was marketed wrong. I might get one if I find one cheap enough.. I mean, come on.. Super Monkey Ball on a phone? That's just awesome.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the N-Gage, but it's way too expensive. When the price is right, I'd consider picking it up.

I know someone who has one, and he likes it.
I wanted one but it was marketed wrong and badly supported!!

As for the price, $59.99 at Gamestop (Preowned/Refurbished/Possibly New), but backordered on the website, but check it for your B&M.

Pre Owned NGage (http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product_id=909069&affid=99999&sourceid =qIbAQVxwnx3HAmk9ySDX&siteid=0040451529)

As for other deals Wireless Bluetooth Headset (http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/237373.asp) $50 at EB. If you're in the market for one, yes it is a deal.

That's how it is... once you have one, you realize how cool it actually is....

I might have to look into one because my cellphone contract is almost over and the piece of shit phone I bought sucks (I paid $80 on the cell and it doesn't have anygood features on it).

Where can I get the old nokia ngage cheap?

i hate the idea of side talking, but theres actually a pretty simple mod you can do to the old n-gages so you can talk on it like a normal phone instead of side talking... all you have to do is drill one tiny hole in the case... if anyone knows anything about doing this.. let me know

I wouldnt mind having one of these either, but the price would have to be right for me

Now for n gage itself to be 4.99 then people might actually think about getting one

I'd get one, but don't they make you get a contract for activation? I really only want it for the gaming abilities.

Nokia would have to pay me 50 dollars to side talk on one of those pieces of trash, or play rehashed ps1 games.

No, you can drop a card from a current phone into it.

The bluetooth headset does not have an echo. It's actually quite an excellent headset. The range is fantastic and the clarity is excellent as well. It also have a volume control on the headset itself.

My only problem with it is that the battery life is pretty weak, lasting only about 2 hrs (possibly less) during a conversation.

It also uses the N-gage AC Adapter to charge.

No, you can drop a card from a current phone into it.

I guess my next question is, would I have to do that? Or can I just get one non-activated for game use and move the card in later if I decide I like it as a phone?
