nokia n-gage qd was one phone i was always looking for i had a nintendo gameboy sometime back and so i wanted some phone that could help kill boredum as i always looked for a reason to carry my gameboy along where ver i went icon_wink.gif and now that i had a phone that could let me play with it bigtime but the only regrets are that it does not have fm which could make it the best phone around and kill the competetion.
coz i dont think a camera is required but an fm could make it a better bet
i dont quite miss the fact that it does not have an mp3 player as u could download it from the net by using bluetooth or a card reader for mm card.

To make it short:


+ headset included (dual-mono)
+ dummy-SIM-card included (so even people without a SIM card can use the game to play)
+ "busy" sign when opening an app/games/access MMC (you'll if something is going on)
+ clear screen
+ good games
+ good for gaming
+ nice size
+ extreme clear and loud loudspeaker
+ screen-capturing app

o keypad is ok, but still can be used by only one hand easily


- mono
- no fullscreen 3gp play-back (pvplayer needed)



The RealPlayer is included!
But it need to be installed manually. It is on the CD which came with the phone! (1.4 MB free space needed)


I bought it as second phone and for gaming.
And it was a good choice. I like it, subway-rides won't be that bored anymore icon_biggrin.gif

Never had the original N-Gage 1 but the QD version does it for me. Being a gaming addict with a PC its interesting to play 3d games on a phone. Tomb Raiders all I have and its definately a cool 3d challenge. Multiplayer snake in 3d I played once which was a real laugh. Apart from being not the greatest phone to put in your pocket, size wise it does all the things a phone should do like making a phone call and receiving calls.
Pity about there being no radio and mp3player icon_frown.gif coz with the possibility to remove mmc cards without turning the phone off would have been the ideal little player for me.
Looking at www.n-gage.com there are heaps of games. And there are heaps on ebay too.
You dont get bored with this one.

First of all let say that first N-Gage was a huge disappointment. All those annoying small things that could have been done better were not.

New N-Gage QD strips off some features like FM radio and MP3 player wich are nice to have, but are not mandatory for a good phone, wich is meant to be a hand held gaming colnsole. After all you can download MP3 player for QD and have it that way if you wan't. What bothers me more is the stereo plug for headphones, wich is mini-size and needs some sort of adapter to fit for real headphones instead of the ones supplied with the phone. Adapters are always nasty to carry around and they have tendency to make sound quality even worse, if it was good in first place.

Having talked to one of Nokia engineer who took part in developoment of this phone, he thought this one is way better that the old one, wich he was not too keen to discuss about. New QD has a built in 3D-engine and all we have to wait is game developers to take full advantage of that. Also there were plenty of minor fixes that make QD better in quality and overall usage.

Reduced size of QD compared to the old N-Gage is in my oppinion a huge improvment. No it fits in my pocket like all normal cell phones and it some how fits better in hand... Maybe because of rounded edges or something.

That's all for now. Let's hope that game developers take Nokia seriously and we get plenty of high quality games to play with N-Gage and N-Gage QD

The Ngage QD is a somewhat downgrade of evolution for the Ngage series his brother the "original" is still the fan favorite after this pitiful attempt at a sequel to the best of both worlds of gaming and using your phone to greatest ability possible. the QD only impressive features are extra battery time (the battery lasts twice as long asthe previous) the more sleeker, smaller hand held feel, "facetalkin" compared to "sidetalking", external mmc slot for games, and mmc's but still no real player for movies and shows or an Mp3 for your music needs or the Fm radio you couldnt even download ringtones or preetty much anything straight from your computer with the lack of a usb port? Nokia could of done a better try at entertainment for the nomad gamer.
