yeah... I dont think there's camera. Maybe that prototype is just using a sofware from some other S60 phone..?
so... hotswap mmc, no sidetalking (speaker at front), S60 2.0(?), new keypad, no music keys... Looks less wide, maybe little bit thicker. What else..?
what is the s60 2.0?
i really reaally hope it has a 1mp camera then and only then would it be perfect
hope its price range is as cheap as n-gage1
Judging by the size of the screen the overall size is that of a 3300. Looks to me like a pure gaming device. No MP3 Player. I like the way the the red hang up button has been moved away from the main gaming controls.
Looks like it has a covering like 5100. I wonder where the connectors are for the headset, could it have a pop-port connection? On the top maybe? This could mean USB connectivity via DKU-2/5.
hey badger what do u mean no mp3??
Looking at the unit, the media player button has been removed, also the radio button. I think they will have done this as the unit will have no MP3 or radio functionality. I also think that it has no camera, Just a same software as 6600 before the unit variant tweeks were implemented.
s60 2.0 is the o/s which the 6600 & 7610 use. I think this unit will also have this o/s.
badger,I agree with you,i don't think the N-Gage 2 will feature a camera.I don't mean to be picky,but S60 2.0 is the UI on top of the OS which is Symbian 7.0s
Good observation about the missing buttons but i really hope they haven't been messing with the media features.I really got used to the radio and listening to AAC,MP3,OGG on it.
Radio and MP2 buttons above the 2 and below the 0 respectivly
Nokia seem to be repositioning it clears a s a PHONE that plays games, rather than a GAME UNIT that has a phone.
On initial looks, I prefer N-Gage v1.0

I must be missing something. I can see the button above the '2' (though I can't make out the symbol), but the only button I can see below the '0' is the right soft key.
Here's a picture with the '0' button faintly highlighted in red, and the right soft key highlighted in yellow -
Can you explain where the MP3 button is relative to these buttons?
Despite what I originally thought I think those buttons are c - cancel button and the pen button. I'd be surprised if Mp3 went since that's just software...

And I think you have to pay some sort of licensing fee for every device sold with a MP3-player... so if Nokia is trying to seriously cut some costs...
Hopefully N-Gage 1.5 still has stereo output, because you can always install a third party mp3-player.
Awesome find Ewan!

They've also been posted here; http://www.mobilmania.cz/Bleskovky/AR.asp?ARI=107004 with a few comments, but from the watermarks it looks like the pictures came from this site originally: http://www.flashfly.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3950 .
It doesn't appear to have a port for USB connectivity, and with no MP3, radio, camera (couldn't care less), I suppose it will (should!) start selling at about $100...
Dont like the way that the contacts on the MMC will drag on the rubber flap.
Where do you think the pictures were taken? Thailand?

Thus this will make gamers to think about it even if it could handle Calls...can't wait till the PSP comes out
S90 (touch screen version of it anyway) is more of a simplified mobile office than a gaming device and IMO it will be a bit pricey for the average user. Great for email and text messages though.
