Nokia has confirmed the pricing for Next Gen N-Gage games: buying the games will cost between 6 and 10 euros (plus any local taxes), while renting them for a week or month will cost even less. All games can be tried for free.
Read on in the full article.
Hopefully the trials won't be like the games for the old N-Gage at the online store, which had just 5 or 10 minutes of play, which are not enough to even really get into the game.

It remains to be seen what the demos are like...
Even so though, the demo would still give you some idea about the gameplay, and if you wanted a more in-depth trial you could hire the full game for one day. You'd have to pay for the hire, but it probably won't cost more than a couple of euros.
What would be REALLY cool is if they deducted the hire price from the full price if you decide to buy the game. So, for example, if you paid 2 euros to hire it and then buy it, they'd reduce the full price by 2 euros.
