N-Gage Stalled Until 2008
Nokia has postponed the release of its N-Gage First Access mobile telephone and gaming platform to the unwashed masses. It seems that in testing with about 1,000 users, they found an “issue” that needs to be addressed. First Access for the N81/8GB crowd won’t be available as planned either. The mysterious issue isn’t with the games, which are reportedly feeling just fine, thanks. If mobile gaming is where you’re at, the N-xx series of Nokia phones will allow you (when the service is deployed) to download games and play to your heart’s content.
We’ve looked at the Nokia N-xx platforms here before, but in case you want to have another look, head over to TestFreaks to see what they have going on.
As long as we’re talking about Nokia, rumor has it that the N96 has been spotted out in the wild. Nokia’s not confirming the sighting, but whatever it is, it sure looks nice.
