Just as we expected, Nokia announced their totally revamped N-Gage gaming platform. An eco-sytstem now, covering software-enabled S60-based handsets, games, and a full-featured community-based service to link it all together. A new mobile gaming platform, if you will, which Nokia plans to extend beyond just Nokia devices. The service will offer tournaments, global rankings, and other events within the gaming community. Games will cost up to €10, are free to try, and can be rented over varying periods. All available starting November.

ok looks 100% better then the first,
nice 3d grahpics, a closeable screen it turns in to a camara, i guess also a cam-cord, and a phone
it will most likely play mp3s and videos, should also us a sd slot or mspro, and if the controles r decent enough i think it could be better then the i phone....right????

It's a N93 dumbass, read better, they allready sold two cell phones under symbian OS9.1 capable of 3D graphics: N93 (this one) and N73. Fifa2007 and a car game are already disponible, more games will come and more cell phones will be created.

It's their new vision of the Ngage, a lot of phones so that everyone can find the mobile corresponding to what he looks for. The problem is that in a year or two they will launch more powerfull ones and the games won't be compatible or will have slowdowns or be ugly. The same as PC plateforme, we will have to upgrade (in fact to change) our phones regularly. So it is far from the idea of a gaming console wich is great because it has a unique architecture.
