Hi, i am aiming to buy one of these cuties, and looking for some infos, that I couldn�t find on the web.
Is SD card working in n-gage/QD?
I would hate to buy MMC card, while I own an SD 256mb
Is it true, that the QD series have a better graphical chip in it?
The new vbx(or something like that), I think IBM chip.
How quick is Bluetooth?
Is it like basic wlan - 11mbit/sec?
Is there bluetooth - usb converter?
That is all 😊

Only MMC, I'm sorry... A 128 mb one is suficient, i own one and I don't need more space. Dunno what are you preferences, though.
Internally the two machines are almost equal, only QD hasn't an MP3 player, and no stereo output, I'm afraid. They must be very similar for being fully compatible. The only improvement is in the screen itself, which is brighter.
If you do not need the MP3 player, buy the QD. That's what I would do at least -- the improvement is slight, but an imprvement. and it's much better-looking.

Also, no graphics chip, CPU powers the screen directly. It comes with Bluetooth. And you need to buy a Bluetooth dongle for yuor PC speratly (hint, try the TDK ones)

I think its about 1mb/sec, no where near as fast as wlan. It also doesn't have as good a distance-10m on phones (roughly) 100m on laptops,computer depending on usb dongle used.
Its fast enough on phones though, and is fast enough to send videos and photos.
think its about 1mb/sec
Other question would be, that if I copy a program to the MMC card by a card-reader, than put it to QD, or N-gage. Can I istall the application like this, or I have to install it through bluetooth (which clearly seem to suck compared to USB speed) 😞
I read several places on the net, that it had a graphical chip, which is newer and better than in N-gage. Is its true?
"We understand the new version will be based on Texas Instruments' OMAP 2 processor, which are due later this year. OMAP 2 uses Imagination Technologies' PowerVR MBX core, as does Intel's 2700G mobile graphics chip. The Intel part was launched yesterday. "

You can use a PC based MMC reader to put installation files in the MMC root and then use the "Manager" (Application Manager) on the N-Gage to install them.
Neither the N-Gage "Classic" nor the N-Gage QD have any special graphics chips and they're based on the same TI ARM9 core based processor.

Thanks,
Do you know whether you can tune the ARM9 processor in N-gage/QD?
As I read, it is currently 104Mhz.

Has anyone tried to set it above that setting?
Not aware of any overclocking method for the processor, sorry. So probably not.

i`ve got a QD myself.. the only thing is that it plays g3p files or something ( video )
but i read that the ngage 1 supports Real media? �`ve converted video`s to real media using this http://www.ngagegaming.com/news/news.cgi/article/EpZAZklFFEmQreEWgF/tmpl/nxt_features/prof/feat
but they wont play 😞 i also changed the file names to g3p and they still function on the pc but the ngage wont detect em either..
did u rename them to g3p or 3gp?
Plus in my opinion, coz i own the QD, if u have 3rd party MP3 players like UltraMP3, and u play mp3's from the speaker, u can't really tell that its mono, so its not that the QD doesn't support mp3's, it needs 3rd party software, and in my opinion the deterioration in quality isn't all that obvious if through the speaker.
Oh and bluetooth range of 10m is also theoretical. You can achieve ranges of up to 30m, if there is direct line of sight, but of course, the same thing goes as WIFI, the further you are the transfer speed decreases as well.
