N-gage vs 3650

Another newbie question:
What is the difference between to n-gage and the 3650?

As far as I can see without looking too deep:
The 3650 has mono sound, no radio & a camera,
The n-gage has stereo sound, radio & no camera.

Otherwise they appear to be the same (and will run the same software).

Or am I missing something?

Your're also missing:
3650 has infrared
N-Gage has MP3 player, USB connectivity, special game cards for sale.

Is the infra-red on the 3650 needed for anything, ie: that you cannot do with bluetooth?

3650:
MP3 player is OK since I can't have a WMA player.

N-gage:
1. Is the usb cable needed, or can I just use bluetooth?
2. Gamecards are not really applicable - since there is the gameboy & spectrum emulators, and presumably the card games will be downloadable anyway.
3. Now all I need is a DOS emulator so I can use my own software!
4. Until that happens I will just have to make do with porting stuff onto the spectrum emulator.

Hi,

1. infra red is cool and i miss it on the gage. very useful for all kinds of stuff like sending business cards to other mobiles.

2. The n-gage has tons more to offer than the other phone. usb is cool because it is fast and on everything. bluethooth is also cool but not yet on every notebook and pc..

I love my n-gage and so will you!

Bluetooth replaces infrared fairly decently, although i would like to have a fiddle with some of the infrared software out there, (ir remote programs for controlling your tv/dvd/hifi). Bluetooth is great for quick transfers from the computer and between phones, but still far too slow for tranferring big files. Use USB for that.
