Im getting an n-gage soon but there are so many things im unsure about can you help please.
what is bluetooth, im really not that sure, and people are speaking about adapters and stuff to go in the pc, is this something i will need and what are its uses
also will i need to buy a mmc card if my n-gage doesnt come with one or will i need one to use alot of the functions on the phone, also if i take my 32mb one out of my mp3 player will it work in the n-gage?
finally, you can play people over the net and using WAP but is it expensive to do the gaming this way, i have a pay as you go sim card which i will be using when i get the phone (sim free) but im thinking that im gonna waste tenner after tenner on gaming online with the phone.
cheers to anyone who replies. ps if the answers are on the forum im sorry the search function doesnt seem to be working at the moment. peace.
Heya
Bluetooth is like infrared. It allows you to connect to things wirelessly. Unlike infrared you can have it up to 10m from the source its connected to.
You can use it to play games against other people, use wireless handfree kits, and syncronise your phone with your pc.
The bluetooth adapters everyones talkin about is the adapter needed to syncronise your fone and pc. Its not neccesary to have one as everything you nedd to transfer file to and from your fone are included in the box.
If your buyin the phone from the UK then a MMC will be included in the pack. If not ull probably want to think about buyin one as you cant really do much without it. The fone only accepts MMC and not SD as far as im aware. As long as the memory card in your mp3 player is Multimedia then your fine.
The prices of GPRS are different dependant on where you live in the world and the network your on. Your probably best contacting your network provider to find out prices. Its rather expensive in the UK.
Hopefully this helps,

I guess so, im from the UK and o2 so i guess it will be expensive. I dont know how, ill have to ask him. one of the kids at my school gets free wap all the time and he's on pay as you go? hmm. he said when he bought the phone he payed 2-3 quid and they gave him free WAP. i was on WAP on his phone for at least 40 minutes and his credit didnt change when i came off??! Anyone know how i can get that?
one more question also. using the WAP i can play people over the internet? using n-gage arena or are there other websites like the arena for play? or dont you need a site, for example. i live 50 miles away from my friend, can i somehow make a connection between our phones? i guess what im asking is do the phones have their own IP? If this is possible can you tell me how, thanks alot.

Bluetooth is a lot faster then InfraRed.
I don't think you can use a GRPS WAP connection to access N-Gage arena.You'll need a GPRS INTERNET connection.The prices for a GRPS WAP and GPRS INTERNET are not the same,at least here.
The only way you can connect directly(Without using a N-Gage arena like website) to another N-Gage in order to play a multiplayer game is Bluetooth.50 miles is a little bit too much for Bluetooth,sorry.
You best option for online multiplayer gaming would be some flat-rate GPRS subscription.
