I feel I have to rant a little here, so I apologise in advance! 😉
Last week, I contacted Nokia [SIZE="1"](don't)[/SIZE] Care to request that my N-Gage games be transferred from my N95 to my N97. Simple process, one would have thought. Ha!
Firstly, it took over a week for them to return my contact. Then, I am told that I have to install all the games on my new handset and try activating with the original codes. Fair enough, I think, until I find out that of the 4 games that I have (PS Golf, Hooked On: COTD, FIFA 08 and Mile High Pinball) only two of them are compatible with the N97 (PS Golf & FIFA 08).
Now, I got, like most others, FIFA 08 when Nokia gave away thousands of copies of the game just after N-Gage went live. And for the life of me, I can't find the activation code. In fact, I think it was in a text that got deleted. Similarly, Mile High Pinball was received FOC courtesy of the Need For Speed promo they did. Again, no record of the activation code.
PS Golf & COTD were bought and paid for.
So Nokia [SIZE="1"](lack of)[/SIZE] Care tell me that PS Golf is good to go (which it is) and that I need to install COTD. However COTD isn't compatible with the N97, so I can't do that. And Nokia [SIZE="1"](fail to)[/SIZE] Care tell me that it's "tough doo doo". They won't even allow me to change it to a different, N97 compatible, game. So, I paid �6 for something that won't work on a supposed uniform platform (N-Gage).
And then they tell me that they can't transfer free games, even if I had the activation codes!!
So, I've gone from 4 games to 1 and a lot of the new stuff isn't even N97 compatible, and now the rumours are starting that N-Gage is going to be dropped.
So, why bother??
Big shame.
