Nokia's N-Gage gaming service now official

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.

Oh,...........Now I spose you can get that N Gage feeling wherever you are. (yawn)

Does anybody know if you can do this through a Bluetooth-shared net connection? I have T-Mo, but I haven't bought a data plan (yet?). I'd be interested to get the demos, but unless you can download them to a PC, or set up my phone to use my home net connection to get "out", I'm going to have to pass...

Fingers crossed for some E-Series love.

very cool, i will buy one n-gage ready device for that :D

its weird that they supported only n-series devices.
i was planning to buy a 6110 (i dont want to waste money for a camera that dont even have optical zoom.) but looks like nokia will force me to buy a n73.
does anyone knows if its playable on other s60 3rd edition phones?
