Nokia sez no more N-Gages until 2007

We’re going to miss our favorite punching bag: after two years of disappointing sales, Nokia’s VP for corporate strategy says that they won’t be putting out any more N-Gage gamephones anytime soon. Sales haven’t been so hot, so they’re going to take the focus off of mobile gaming until 2007, when they expect that mobile technology will have advanced enough to make a dedicated gamephone a viable prospect (fortunately technology advanced enough between the original N-Gage and the N-Gage QD for them to eliminate the sidetalking). In the meantime they’re going continue with their plans to integrate the N-Gage’s gaming platform into regular N-series handsets.
