Technical Data Manufacturer's Description Reviews The Nokia N-Gage mobile game deck was made for gamers. This lightweight, handheld machine pumps out 3D graphics that do your favourite games the justice they deserve. Whether you prefer to play solo or engage in multiplayer action over Bluetooth wireless technology or GPRS, the Nokia N-Gage game deck is ready and waiting. And yes, the game pauses automatically when the phone rings. The Nokia N-Gage game deck's claim to fame is mobile multiplayer gaming with no cables or wires. Most of the games available for the game deck include multiplayer options for 2 and/or up to 4 players, either via Bluetooth wireless technology within distances of 10 meters or less or over GPRS, which offers the possibility for gaming over a wide-area network. The high-resolution color screen boasts amazing 3D graphics that do your favorite games the justice they deserve. Watch Lara Croft and Tony Hawk fly off the screen in 4096 colors and - count them - 36608 pixels in the illuminated high-contrast, full-graphics color display. Playing during the night? Don't worry, there is a backlight. Intense 3D games like Tomb Raider and Tony Hawk are too large to be downloaded Over-the-air directly to your game deck. Game cards allow for richer graphics and enhanced sounds, which means better gameplay. And the cards are so tiny, you can carry up to 20 with you at the same time. The Nokia N-Gage game deck is good for more than just gaming; it's packed to the max with fancy features like an MP3 player and a mobile Web browser. What's more, it's also a tri-band phone with support for email and multimedia messaging - that's a text message with an image and sound. And there are more extras than you can count, including polyphonic ringing tones, handsfree functionality, RealOne Player, and more. Surf the mobile Web with the XHTML browser built in to the game deck (XHTML over GSM data, HSCSD, and GPRS). Make N-Gage.com your first stop so you can get all the latest news on games, plus screenshots, tips, tricks, and more when you're on the move. Forget payphones. The game deck is also a tri-band mobile phone, which means it's wired for EGSM 900/GSM 1800/1900 networks, so you can make calls and check email from five continents. Finished all the games already? Download Java-based games and new game levels, as well as other applications like calendars, planners, travel guides, and more, straight to your game deck. It's all done Over-the-air, so you don't even have to get up. The game deck has battery power to play MP3s for up to 8 hours, 20 hours of radio, and from 3 to 6 hours of games. The game deck also has 3.4 MB of internal shared memory for images, contact data, calendar, messages, and add-on applications. For MP3 storage, 32, 64, and 128 MB external memory cards are available separately. |
