Nokia officially unveils N79, N85 and N96 - all N-Gage compatible

Published by at

At a virtual launch event Nokia has unveiled the Nokia N79, Nokia N85 and Nokia N96. All of these devices will be N-Gage compatible, and the N96 and N85 include dedicated gaming keys thanks to their dual slider mechanism, like the slider and keys on the N95. All three devices supposedly come with fifteen N-Gage games "pre-loaded", but as far as we can tell these are just the usual locked demos rather than full unlocked games, so all they're really doing is saving you the bother of downloading these demos yourself. This is probably the source of the mistaken "comes with games" rumours. However, there is a voucher for unlocking one free full game included with the phones, so that's at least something.
