Some bad news breaking this afternoon for nokia.
The N-Gage has dropped off the charts, literally. The Entertainment & Leisure Software Publishers Association decided this week to stop publishing the figures for sales of the cellphone gaming device and its games, compiled by ChartTrack. ChartTrack had this to say about the decision.
Quote:The N-Gage chart, though still produced, is of little interest to anyone. Sales of the machine and its software have failed to make any impact on the market at all. We still keep sales charted and are available on monthly, quarterly and annual reports, though we have dropped the platform from the ELSPA chart following a lack of interest.

The ngage fills a vacum. lt definitely has a market. It really doesnt matter; convergence devices will continue to gain ground. That, dear friends, is the truth. It is the future.

why did they even bother to put it in the charts in the first place?
the N-gage failed and so did the QD version.
the device isn't advanced enough. you don't get a good value for money.
games are hard to find and expencive.
apperence and feeling (holding it in your hand, calling with it sideways) are just bad.
and i think the market wasn't fully ready for such a device.

Criteria/requirements change from time to time. I guess they just changed them again.
The Ngage may not have done so well, but it was a bold step. Hopefully, it will be a step in the ladder of mobile device evolution.

But you cant miss out on the fact that ngage is the cheapest symbian. It offers gr8 value for money at two thirds the price of a K500i.

Good point I was going to point out too. I have been griping about changing my P800, but discovered it wasn't because I really needed to change it. I was plain bored with it (happens all the time with me).
Unfortunately, seems I'm hooked on Symbian. Pocket's also a little lean now. So, guess what i'm thinking? The N-Gage: Symbian, FM Radio, GPRS, Bluetooth, expandable memory, infra-red, USB, Email. A fracvtion of the cost of anything else I am interested in.
What am I waiting for?
