Does anybody know anything about the new N-Gage?
I heard that it should have better graphics and... (i can't believe it!)
*insert dramatic pause here*
Better games! But I highly doubt that will happen.

how much better is going to be the question with the new Ngage. IM really not even interested. Sorry to come on a little strong but the NGage is a. a waste of money and b. ist fit to kiss my feet.

Don't worry VgCats, hockeydude comes on a little strong. I sent an e-mail to Nokia's pr people to see if I could get a little more info on the N-Gage QD. I know it will be a mass release, and will have improved graphics, I've read a couple press releases but nothing with much substance to it. Lately I've been focusing on the XBox 360, PS3 and Revolution. Give me a couple of days and I should have a little info.

Nokia does like to give away info on the N-Gage QD.
Now if only Nintendo would say something new about the Nintendo Revolution.
I'm also not quite interested in the QD,because I already have a Nintendo DS and is planning on getting a PSP.
