No profit = No Support = No N-Gage
And admit it. Average people won't know what's N-Gage unless they have already bought the phone...
And last... Battery issues :D You bought a phone you don't want it to loose battery life always because of gaming :rolleyes:

Wasn't OviStore supposed to solve that? How's that OviStore workin' out for ya?

N-Gage has too much negative brand perception. It was another concept way before its time offering stuff that is standard in gaming now like gamertags, trophies etc but it didn't offer a good enough ux to stick and they didn't innovate quick enough. They should just bring some of those elements into the Ovi ecosystem and launch it across Meego/symbian next year.

Even better yet... Nokia should make a splash in the 3D gaming market!

N-gage did live fairly long inside Symbian phones much after the N-gage phones as kind portal for mobile gaming. Nokia threw the brand totally out as they started to build OVI as the end of it all considering their services.

OVI is the place to get it all and if anything Nokia has been hard in work to simplify for long time now so bringing back N-gage imo is the last thing they should do. Maybe if/when Symbian/MeeGo have gathered nice amount of games we can start talking about OVI games. Something similar Apple has done.

The fight is over, ten years ago Nokia should have used it's power, market leadership is gone for a long time! On my oppinion, the N900 (like the communicators before) is the best phone on the market, but not at this price for the dumb masses...

btw, i hate this windows phone advertising (everything on your homescreen, even video and music LOL). i like apple (first company which thought about software useability and ergonomics) for beating microsoft up, but i dislike it for every dictatorial behaviour else! And i like google for bringing usefull technology to the masses...

I really don't understan why people post these demands on a _community site_...

The concept is sound.

Nokia's execution was poor all three times (last was service only).

If they try again, the N-Gage name should not be invoked.

Because it's a discussion point. I demand you shut your face hole and speak up! ;)
