CNET Asia Review

Very good

7

out of 10

View score

The good: Game-centric world phone; wireless head-to-head gameplay via Bluetooth; MP3 player and FM radio; mini USB port.

The bad: Small screen; back cover and battery must be removed to change games; awkward design for phone calls; pricey games; no IR port.

The bottom line: Nokia's cell phone \"game deck\" is a cool concept, but hard-core gamers may be put off by some design miscues and compromises.

I love my N-Gage. What I really love is it's unique shape. It reminds me of a space ship.

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: This phone is durable and besides it's futuristic look it's easy to understand and when I want to distract my hyperactive son I just put on a game.
Cons: The screen once on the internet is not so precise.
Opinion:
I really would like to see another remake of this phone with more advance features but I would sure hope that they would keep the look of the phone for people like me that loves unusual gadgets.

 

Great phone

Nov 17, 2006

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Durable, has plenty of features especially for a phone released so long ago
Cons: Side talking, heavy
Opinion:
I had this phone for close to 3 years now and its really really durable. I've dropped it countless times and it hasn't spoiled once. Never given me any problems at all. Only cons are the side talking - which isn't really a big issue - and its weight; it is a little too bulky.

 

A LIFETIME COMPANION

Aug 16, 2006

Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: A real all-day friend,unique specs, splinded music features, best controls, smartphone, performance
Cons: Only 3.4MB internal, only 4096 colors, no real 3D game engine, Symbian 6.1 OS
Opinion:
It had been a couple of years now with n-gage, never ashamed me at any time ever, with all these stupid Symbian phones such as 6600,6670,3230,7610,...ect all beside my n-gage were crap! What's better than splinded mp3's , recordable radio , gaming console , USB mass storage , ARENA! and a fully controlled navigation - keypad ??? no way, nothing will match!
If i could rate something 10 of 10 , i would rate my beloved n-gage!
