How to look silly with Nokia n-gauge

Managed to get a play with one of these fellas in Finland yesterday. A couple of issues before i get to the main point. The buttons are all metal like, no rubber to get to grips with for serious gamers, yes slippery fingers all round.

For those of you that havent seen it yet, and i dont know if this is mentioned in the specs but you have to hold the device up to ear thin side on to make a call. Yes that means with two of these you can look just like Prince Charles.

Yes you can make calls from it. The screen size is the same as 7650. The device itself is just a little bigger than a gameboy, thicker too.

N-Gage:
133,7mm x 69.7mm x 20,2 mm

GBA:
135mm x 80mm x 25mm

But the Gameboy Advance SP will be much smaller.. besides.. why look like a freak with a such a weird device?

Smaller GBA is gonna be silly - it's now upright like the old Gameboy.

Of course, you;re much better off with a GP32...
