Nokia Promises Another Revamped N-Gage
From the “Can You Please Just Let It Die?” department, Nokia plans to continue throwing millions away by backing the N-Gage cell phone/video game console hybrid. The latest from them is that they plan to bring an updated version of the N-Gage QD to the market, hoping that will breathe new life (or really, initial life?) into the device.
“We’re looking at new colors, a new look and feel for the QD in the next few months,” said Gerard Wiener, director and general manager of the games business program at Nokia.
Hey Nokia, I know technology moves really fast and all, and I know how forgettable it was. However, you did have an N-Gage before the QD, and no one bought it. Then you said you would bring a redesigned version to market, in the hopes that it would spark sales. It really didn’t happen for ya. Now you can stop wondering why you guys have that sense of deja vu. You’re welcome.

I wish to god Nokia would just fess up to the fact that NOBODY BOUGHT ONE and bury it.
I work at a GameStop. Our store’s square footage is the largest design that the company has. We don’t really have adequate room for the DS, let alone the PSP and Xenon. The NGage only serves to worsen the problem as for some unknown reason, corporate insists we stock games and accessories for them (but not the hardware…go figure). So the NGage section takes up an entire endcap where we could have something useful.
They suck, kill it and stop wasting money (and my store’s space) on it.

especially with the new handhelds coming out, this stands even less of a chance than it did before, give it up nokia. stick to what you’re good at, making phones. not game handhelds.

I was unfortunate to have brought the first N-Gage. It was far too big to be a phone, too badly designed to be a gameboy. I tried to take it to a pawn shop - They wouldn’t take it:)
Nokia should make a formal apology for foisting that thing upon the world
