Nokia N-gage
WOW Factor: The first Nokia game phone
Evaluation in my collection: Brand New – 10/10
Nokia Codename: Starship
Life timer: 0m | Boxed: NO
Release Year: 2003 | Release Price: ~ 350 USD
About: The N-Gage was a smartphone combining features of a mobile phone and a handheld game system developed by Nokia, announced on 4 November 2002 and released on 7 October 2003. It runs the original Series 60 platform on Symbian OS v6.1.
N-Gage attempted to lure gamers away from the Game Boy Advance by including telephone functionality. This was unsuccessful, partly because the buttons, designed for a telephone, were not well-suited for gaming. The original N-Gage was described as resembling a taco, which led to its mocking nickname “Taco phone”.Reviews when released: Mobile Review
