I want to buy a second NGAGE (original) for multiplayer and also use it with my ATT sim card (first NGAGE is tmobile horrible, no internet without a $20 option). Anyway, I found a great price on a demo NGage, but I don't know if its possible to use a demo NGAGE as a cell phone. I've heard they can be unlocked just like any other phone thats locked into one service plan. Can anyone confirm that a demo unit NGAGE can be used as a phone?
Unlocking Demo NGAGE
The demo unit can't be just unlocked, as it isn't really locked, but runs a functionally limited version of the phone software (firmware).
If the hardware is OK, I suppose a Nokia service center could put proper firmware on it, but on the other hand I don't think Nokia intended the demo units to be sold in the first place.
I can pretty much guarantee it will work fine once unlocked.
It'll work 100% fine when you unlock it...
