Bah another gaming fone. When are fone manufacturers going to realise that gaming is a platform, a coming together of software and hardware. If the software is scarce the fone is going to fail for sure. The first thing fone manufacturers should do is create a standard platform/api for this and then go about the rest of the things.

honestly, competition for the ngage? nokia themselves deemed it a failure...so being a competitor is not saying much.

it isn't, did Ngage have a 2mp camera? :p

And i'll agree with Blade. Besides, the W900i has Nvidia GoForce chip putting it almost on the same level of Ngage and handhelds.

Ngage has got quite a lot of software for it, including some very big titles like Splinter cell, CMR 2005, tony hawk, cod, etc but the real prob IMO with it is the screen's too small to enjoy the games, maybe this one's can fix it with its big 3 inch screen.

Yeah i know. But thats why the post. What i meant was that manufacturers should stick to one platform for e.g. Mophun, Symbian and create games around it. The fones can be differentiated by other factors such as features and faster hardware.
