Why were no questions asked about the lack of hardware accelerated games for ngage, its pathetic!
Wake up Nokia, Ngage can't be successful as a platform until you start creating games that look Good. They should atleast look like PSP games if not better. Even if that requires getting better hardware onboard.

In a fast developing technological world, why does Nokia want to stay so back, all other mobile companies have got hardware acceleration in most of their high device, how I wish that the N85 had hardware acceleration I would have bought it, these handsets prove to be less future proof !!!
For me, N95 8gb stays as best smartphone... 3d hw acceleration with good s60v3 fp1 system, good amount of RAM! just waiting for the new SDK for n-gage as promised with 3d hw features!

Not really, the DS (which has similar graphics to N-Gage) has consistently outsold the PSP two to one.
And the Wii (which has the worst graphics of this console generation) is outselling all its rivals put together.
Graphics don't matter that much to most gamers. Most gamers just want games that are fun.
