"The consumer will have to make a decision: does he want a standalone gaming device with a limited browsing capability or a phone with an MP3 player, a camera and a bloody good games platform? I think consumers will be prepared to spend £300 on a phone that offers all those different things rather than £100 to £150 for a standalone games machine."

Martin O'Driscoll, the new head of Nokia's games division, is getting ready for a fight, according to Mobile Entertainment. After the colossal failure called the "N-Gage," Nokia is ready to go back into the portable games market, reinvigorated. As previously reported, it appears that Nokia will attempt to one-up Sony's strategy with the PSP, by offering even more functionality than Sony's portable. However, one should make note that more features doesn't necessarily equate to more sales, as the DS has proven in the handheld wars.

Will Nokia be able to survive a battle against Sony and Nintendo? Maybe, maybe not. However, if gaming cell phones catch on, Sony's sure to have backup ready.

Well the N-series has been successful so far, Nokia wants to try its luck in thehandheld gaming market again. :P
 
Lol nokia trying their hands at making a gaming device. They always seem to concentrate more on the hardware (as seen by Martin O Driscoll's statement above) rather than the software which was the main reason the ngage failed as a platform. Plus this fone will carry the additional burden of the ngage's failure as a gaming platform.

Those controls don't look gamer friendly...

It looks more like a business phone...yuck...
 
The old saying fits here...

Master of one is better then the jack of all... Apple with i phone... Nokia with Ngage and now with N100 and Samsung with 4 Mega pixel camera phones... It just keeps getting messy all the time...

Yes the next logical step is to club different devices together but most of the time it ends up being a non usable gadget...
 
I heard something called Ngage Neo!! donno it was real or fake. but i heard its in beta stage :bleh: we just have to wait n watch what nokia is upto
