Nokia N-Gage QD Review - Entertainment / Internet / Storage


Entertainment


Despite all the changes in design, Nokia's greatest challenge is attracting new game developers. Although the N-Gage QD supports existing N-Gage games titles, at the time of this review, the N-Gage has less than 20 games on the market.

Plans for new games such as "Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004," "The Sims Bustin' Out," and "Ashen" are in the works. But there is still has much work ahead to catch up with competitors like the Game Boy SP with a broad range of games.

But the strength of the N-Gage is undoubtedly its multiplayer capabilities. Being built with a wireless phone connection allows users to play other people throughout the world from anywhere they go. That is a very powerful tool makes it outshine its competitors. However, Nokia has not yet utilized this feature to its full potential. Currently there are only a handful of multiplayer capable games out the market.

The N-Gage QD is also built on the Java 2 Platform Micro Edition, or J2ME for short. J2ME is currently the most popular platform for cell phone games on the market. Users will be able to download, install, or remove Java games onto their N-Gage.

While not comparable to the cartridge games in terms of graphics or gameplay, the J2ME games can be quite entertaining. Currently there are hundreds of J2ME games on the internet. Some are free to download, others require you to pay.

Other useful applications common on most phones are included as well. The QD comes with a calendar feature with monthly, weekly, and daily views. A To-Do list is also included for keeping track of tasks such as shopping lists or tasks to accomplish. Other useful tools include a currency converter, and Dictaphone to dictate text.


Internet


The N-Gage QD comes with WAP 1.2.1 with the ability to render xHTML pages. It also supports GPRS Class B, 3+1, 2+2 for increased bandwidth capabilities over standard CSD networks. This results in faster connection speeds of up to 40.2 kbps, which benefits in multiplayer games.
