Not only is it trying to do what so many other people are doing, with its swis army knife thing, but its at a kinda high price. The N Gage is stated at $299 retail value, plays games, MP3s, is a phone..., and has a cheese graiter(Spelling?).

Also for all you people looking for a job you can look no further https://www.n-gage-special-forces.com/

Seriously this thing costs as much as one of the newer consols, I doubt that the Gameboy will have much to worry from this "inovative" new system. Thoughts?

A cell phone is a cell phone is a cell phone. There are no exceptions.

Ever been sitting there playing video games and thought to yourself, "I can't believe I have to go to class/work right now...why can't I just get paid to play video games?" Why leave the video games at home, when you can take 'em with you - and get paid the whole time? Instead of letting all your responsibilities get in the way of going out to the game, bar or club, it BECOMES your responsibility to get out there and go to all your favorite places - video games in hand. All this is possible as a member of the N-GageTM Special Forces.

Pasthetic....*signs up immediately*

A cellphone that is an MP3 player and a video game system wrapped into one.

$300 sounds a lot for it, but when you think how much a good cell phone costs, a Game Boy, and an MP3 player goes, it is not really that expensive when you consider that.

I am not definite if I will pick one up...but I need a new cell phone anyways, plus an MP3 player would be nice to have.

The graphics for the games look amazing for a hand held. But you have to remove the phone's battery to put in the catridges. The design of the N-Gage is crap.

Only thing I don't like about them, is that the screen is higher than it is wide; Which ain't good for games like Sonic.

How much internal memory it has for MP3s, will depend on if I upgrade to it or not (currently using a Nokia 5510).

None of the game magazines like it. Tomb Raider sucked ass for being so friggin' slow.
