N-GAGE Games for other NOKIAS

i wanted to ask you, if its possible to run N-Gage games like Flow Boarding on other Nokias (for instance N90). Because for few day i read that somebody has played the N-Gage Game Sims on his Sony Erricson...

I don't think you could run N-gage games on a Sony Ericsson, they don't use the same Symbian S60 system. SEs use Symbian UIQ, which has the same OS at its core but a totally different interface on top of it.

Flo Boarding isn't an N-Gage game, it's a Symbian S60 game, you can run it on other 1st and 2nd Edition S60s as far as I know.

However, the N90 is a 3rd Edition S60 so it's incompatible with all 1st and 2nd Edition S60 software, including Flo Boarding.

But, in early 2007 Nokia is going to start selling current gen N-gage games and next gen new games on a special download service which is entirely for 3rd Edition S60s. They still haven't said which models will use the service though. You can see more about the service here:

And you can see the next gen games here:

Krisse: The N90 hanset is not 3rd Edition: "a Series 60 version 2 feature pack 3, running Symbian OS 8.1a" - from AAS review.
