Zeemote available in Finland with N96

The Bluetooth phone game controller Zeemote is now available in Finland when you buy a Nokia N96 from Nokia's own online shop. The Zeemote lets you control N-Gage games from up to 10 metres away, which is useful if you want to play the games on your television through TV Out. As far as we know this is the first time the Zeemote has been sold in an N-Gage bundle outside Germany, so perhaps they're going to sell it on a wider scale?

Just to add a personal note, I think this is an extremely expensive bundle and indeed the N96 itself is far too expensive.

But hopefully this is a sign of the Zeemote becoming more widely available, as it has previously had a very limited release.

I'd love to use a Zeemote with games on the upcoming N97, as that will have a much higher resolution than current N-Gage phones, so its games should look much smoother on a television set.

It is a nice tool but for mobile gaming it is kind of useless. We don't want to carry around a joystick just to play games. Well i guess you are right about TV out.
Cant wait for the n97 with 640 reslution it should be good to render something from the earlier gen. consoles.

Yup, totally useless for mobile gaming, but TV Out is where the potential lies for the Zeemote.

Most new N-Gage phones have TV Out, and it could soon become a standard feature of smartphones in general.
