But more importantly, Sony needs to ditch the UMD drive altogether and make all its games 1.5 GB digital downloads (or flash memory cards) . A PSP phone and any PSP revision would need either an SSD drive or a built in 15 ~ 20 GB HDD. ]]>Apr 3rd 2008 2:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/nokias-new-n-gage-gaming-service-goes-live/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/nokias-new-n-gage-gaming-service-goes-live/Apr 3rd 2008 3:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/nokias-new-n-gage-gaming-service-goes-live/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/nokias-new-n-gage-gaming-service-goes-live/

Wake up, willya. It isn't going to happen and as soon as the iPhone 2.0 hits the streets with SDK produced games, it's game over for both the Nintendo DS and PSP devices. Their hardware is already old. This is not my opinion, this is from some articles I've read comparing the iPhone hardware to the DS and PSP. You can make comparisons on your own before or after you vote me down.

I own a PSP and use it constantly for games and sometimes internet radio, but dammit, that crappy browser is the worst thing I've ever tried surfing the web with. I have a cable broadband connection and it takes forever for a page to load. Sorry, but the iPhone is the future. DSs and PSPs are history.]]>Apr 3rd 2008 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/nokias-new-n-gage-gaming-service-goes-live/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/nokias-new-n-gage-gaming-service-goes-live/

As excellent as the one Asphalt 3 level I have access to is great to re-play (the game/level seen in the featured image)... I have at this point nailed every nitrous scented apex on the track.

Thanks for the heads-up.]]>Apr 3rd 2008 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/nokias-new-n-gage-gaming-service-goes-live/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/nokias-new-n-gage-gaming-service-goes-live/]]>Apr 3rd 2008 4:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/nokias-new-n-gage-gaming-service-goes-live/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/nokias-new-n-gage-gaming-service-goes-live/
I can confirm a clean install on my N82, the installer overwrites the N-Gage demo that comes on the phone (but unfortunately also wipes out the game demos that came as part of that trial).

Having said that, I've just gone to the 'Showroom' and was able to download their replacements and new trials for completely free.

My initial reaction is that this service could be a very promising development in mobile gaming and I for one am intrigued.

*BLEEP* YOU NOKIA!

Nokia phones for me, never again.]]>Apr 4th 2008 10:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/nokias-new-n-gage-gaming-service-goes-live/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/03/nokias-new-n-gage-gaming-service-goes-live/
Due to evolution in the underlying technology, our original first generation N-Gage games will not be compatible with next generation N-Gage compatible devices. Similarly, the next generation N-Gage experience will not be compatible with the original N-Gage game deck or N-Gage QD devices. However we are bringing a wide range of content to the next generation mobile gaming platform, including select N-Gage franchises.faqs0.9648en"

What does it mean? A BIG F_U_C_K YOU for the ones who supported n-gage since the beginning! How about a return policy to the Original And QD N-gages? Nokia, like every other company doesn't give a rat's ass to the ones who spent TONS of USD's & €'s on games!

And since the American N95 (N95-3) is still at v11.x firmware since August, it goes to show you exactly why Nokia has such a hard time in the US. 'Cause they still have their thumb up their butt when it comes to supporting us.
