which one do the ppl prefer..
i know the camera is not there in ngage.which is like a thumbs down for it..
well i dont listen to radio that much..so thats still a plus for ngage but not a minus for 6600
the price is lesser for ngage..thats a plus
a down for the 6600 is that things get stuck in it...like messages and java stuff..happened to my wife twice and to get rid of them had to format the phone!

i cant make up my mind about this but it would hover on the answer to the following 2 questions!
1)can the nokia 6600 run ALL ngage games..i know this question borders on controversial side here but IM NOT ASKING FOR WAREZ..all im asking is a question...
2)which has more WORKING MEMORY out of the 2?
thanks

Well I own a 6600 but i am not satisfied with its stability. on the other hand it's the best phone in the market so far.

If you're thinking to buy a new phone 4-5 months later, I can say you should buy a 6600.

N-gage is cool but does not look like a phone. If you're going to buy a phone buy, 6600; If you're going to buy a game deck, buy a PS2...

The N-Gage has more RAM,not all N-Gage games work on the 6600,not even all third party Symbian and Java applications work on the 6600 in fact,a large percent of them don't.If you are looking for a mobile,and you want to get the best for your money worth and don't care if it has Nokia writen on it or not,get the Siemens SX1 or the Sendo X,if you want a Series 60 Symbian device that is.If you can like how UIQ looks and you are a power PDA user and can spare the cash,get the p900 but if you are looking for a good mp3 player,movie player,radio,phone,gamedeck all in one and you don't mind the looks and sidetalking or using a headset,get the N-Gage.IMO,it is the best deal.

1) Not quite. Its the 4-way vs. 8-way joystick/rocker that matters in some games like Rayman 3.
2) As for RAM both have about the same, for the phone internal flash 6600 has some advantage. Both support MMCs up to 128MB.
For the other features - camera, irda, 65k display, mech dimensions vs. usb, fm stereo radio, firmware stereo mp3 - it's your choise.
