The other N-Gage thread kind of increased my interest in the system, but I've given up on finding it in a store. This thread is for anybody else in the same boat.
So I went to see how much it was on the official site. If you get it with the T-Mobile plan the phone is free plus you get a $50 mail-in rebate. Pretty good deal right there, and the T-Mobile plan isn't anything expensive, just the standard $40/mo plan. It automatically comes with 3 free EA Sports games. After I added that to my cart, it went to a screen of games to buy with it. At the top of this screen was a "bundle" deal -- the games pictured were Rifts, One, High Seize, and Asphalt 2. It said "Save $99.96 when you buy 4 games together" and it showed them being $0. Below that it said "Choose from additional games below. Remove any games you don't want when you reach the shopping cart. Below are the current 6 best sellers, click the "All Games" Tab to see all games available. The bundle coupon will apply automatically!"
So I clicked on buy for that, and when I got to my cart, the four games were in there, and it showed them being discounted to nothing at the bottom, but at the top it said "coupon is not valid". And it wouldn't let me proceed to check out.
Can anybody get this to work? If you can, this is a really good deal if you were planning on getting a cell plan with it already. The same stuff seems to apply for the Cingular plan, except it's $0 instead of -50 and the plan is more expensive. I couldn't find a way to buy an N-Gage without a plan on the site. Also, the site support seems to be busted - I get an internal server error when submitting the form.
