History

In the late 1990s, gamers increasingly carried both mobile phones and handheld game consoles. A handheld game console is a lightweight portable electronic machine for playing Video games Unlike Video game consoles the controls screen and speakers Nokia spotted an opportunity to combine these devices into one unit. They developed the N-Gage, a device that integrated these two devices. Instead of using cables, multiplayer gaming was accomplished with Bluetooth or the Internet (via the N-Gage Arena service). A multiplayer video game is one which more than one person can play in the same game environment at the same time Bluetooth is a wireless protocol utilizing short-range communications technology facilitating data transmission over short distances from fixed and/or mobile devices creating wireless The Internet is a global system of interconnected Computer networks The N-Gage also included MP3 and Real Audio/Video playback and PDA-like features into the system.

With a launch price of US $299,[7] the N-Gage was not as commercially popular as Nokia estimated. In its first weeks of availability in the United States, it was outsold by the Game Boy Advance 100 to 1. The Game Boy Advance (often shortened to GBA) is a 32-bit handheld video game console developed manufactured and marketed by Nintendo. [9][10] Within 17 days of the deck's release, popular retailers GameStop and Electronics Boutique began offering $100 rebates on the deck's price. GameStop Corporation ( is the world's largest Video game and entertainment software retailer EB Games (formerly known as Electronics Boutique) is an international computer and video games retailer [11]

The poor sales performance can be attributed to the poor selection of games compared to its competitors and its cost at launch; it was more than twice as expensive as a Game Boy Advance SP on release day. The, released in February 2003 is an upgraded version of Nintendo 's Game Boy Advance. Poor sales were also amplified by game media being standard MMC memory cards and as with most consoles piracy did become an issue. The MultiMediaCard ( MMC) is a Flash memory The Copyright infringement of Software (also known as software piracy) refers to several practices which involve the unauthorized copying of computer

Besides its gaming capabilities, the N-Gage was a Series 60 smartphone, running Symbian OS 6. The S60 Platform (formerly Series 60 User Interface is a software platform for Mobile phones that runs on Symbian OS. Symbian OS is an open Operating system, designed for Mobile devices with associated libraries, User interface frameworks and 1, with features similar to those of the Nokia 3650 (it does not have an integrated camera, however). The Nokia 3650 was the first Symbian Series 60 Smartphone to appear in American markets A camera is a device used to capture images either as still Photographs or as sequences of moving images ( Movies or Videos. It was able to run all Series 60 software, and Java MIDP applications as well. Mobile Information Device Profile ( MIDP) is a specification published for the use of Java on Embedded devices such as Mobile phones and PDAs Its main CPU was an ARM Integrated (ARMI) compatible chip (ARM4T architecture) running at 104 MHz, the same as the Nokia 7650 and 3650 phones. The Nokia 7650 is a smartphone belonging to the fashion and experimental ( 7xxx) series

As of August 2007, it was estimated that Nokia had shipped more than two million N-Gage game decks. A game deck is a Video game system often in handheld form such as the Nintendo Game Boy, Sony PlayStation Portable and [12] The "N-Gage" brand name still had a poor reputation within the gaming media and the few consumers who recognized the N-Gage brand, due to the weakness of the system's first games and the original model's limitations. Many gamers were unaware of the later QD redesign and still consider the N-Gage as a joke. The situation has not improved either with the arrival of the PlayStation Portable and Nintendo DS handhelds. The PlayStation Portable (officially abbreviated PSP) is a Handheld game console manufactured and marketed by Sony Computer Entertainment. The is a dual-screen Handheld game console developed and manufactured by Nintendo. As of September 2005, Nokia had more than 50 games available for the system.

While the N-Gage didn't have any significant financial successes, it did have a handful of critical successes. Pocket Kingdom: 0wn the W0rld received a handful of glowing reviews when it was released, and Pathway to Glory was Nokia's first self-published success. Pathway to Glory is a tactical turn-based game for the Nokia N-Gage, by Nokia and RedLynx, released in late 2004 These games came perhaps too late to have much effect in improving the perception of the N-Gage hardware itself in the eyes of consumers or press.

In January 2005, UK sales-tracking firm ChartTrack dropped the N-Gage from its regular ELSPA chart, commenting that "The N-Gage chart, though still produced, is of little interest to anyone. Sales of the machine and its software have failed to make any impact on the market at all. " Although only directly reflective of the UK market, this was interpreted by some as a serious blow to the N-Gage as a viable gaming platform. Despite this, Nokia reaffirmed their commitment to the N-Gage as a platform, to the point where a new version of the hardware was rumored after GDC 2005. The Game Developers Conference ( GDC) is the largest annual gathering of professional Video game developers focusing on learning inspiration and networking

February 2005 saw Nokia appoint Gerard Wiener, formerly of Sega Europe, to the post of Director and General Manager for Games at Nokia. Wiener steered Nokia away from looking at the N-Gage as primarily being a games console to "this is a mobile phone that is great for playing games on. " This strategy, along with targeting niche franchises such as the table-top Warhammer 40,000 series, the Rifts RPG series, and the Settlers of Catan board game, has kept sales of the N-Gage healthy and earned the platform a modicum of respect from some quarters of the media. Warhammer 40000 (informally known as Warhammer 40K or just 40K) is a tabletop miniature wargame in a Science Rifts is a multi-genre Role-playing game created by Kevin Siembieda in 1990 and published continuously by Palladium Books Catan is the Xbox Live Arcade version of Klaus Teuber's Settlers of Catan, developed by Big Huge Games in collaboration It should be noted that this change coincided with the initial releases of the Sony PSP and Nintendo DS. is a multinational conglomerate corporation headquartered in Minato Tokyo, Japan, and one of the world's largest Media conglomerates with The PlayStation Portable (officially abbreviated PSP) is a Handheld game console manufactured and marketed by Sony Computer Entertainment. is a Multinational corporation headquartered in Kyoto Japan founded on The is a dual-screen Handheld game console developed and manufactured by Nintendo.

The last game to be released in the US for the system was Civilization on March 2006 according to Metacritic. com. In November 2006 Nokia released its last game for the N-Gage QD - combat racer Payload.

The system continues to be sold in the Chinese and Indian markets.

Sales

There is some disagreement in sources about the actual number of N-Gage decks sold. Nokia initially claimed 400,000 sales in the first two weeks the deck was available. However, independent market research firms Chart-Track and Arcadia Research claimed that the N-Gage had sold only 5,000 decks in the United States in that time, and 800 decks in the UK. Critics suggested Nokia was counting the number of decks shipped to retailers, not the number actually purchased by consumers. [13] Nokia later admitted this was the truth. [9]

In 2004, Nokia claimed in a press release that it had shipped its millionth deck, represented as a company milestone despite falling short of the company's initial projection of six million decks by the end of 2004. [14] However, this number shipped doesn't give a reliable picture of the actual sales of the deck. [11] Nokia ultimately shipped 2 million N-Gage decks by 2007. [12]

In all cases, sales of the N-Gage and N-Gage QD have been counted together. The N-Gage is a Mobile telephone and Handheld game system based on the Nokia Series 60 platform

White Screen of Death

The N-gage also suffered from a software bug problem known as the White Screen of Death, a memory management issue that rendered the phone inoperational if the main memory was used beyond a certain capacity. Windows In Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000 and (possibly also Windows NT, a White Box of Doom or This prevented the phone from booting and could only be solved by flashing its firmware. Flashing is the process of re-programming a Mobile phones 's Firmware. In Computing, firmware is a computer program that is Embedded in a hardware device for example a Microcontroller. Nokia also had a support contract exclusively for the N-Gage that enabled them to reimburse users with such problems for less than the phone cost, disregarding any responsibilities as to this particular problem, due to the phone no longer being supported (although still marketable).

Future

At E3 2005[15], Nokia announced their intention to make it possible to play games on their next wave of smartphones. The E3 Media and Business Summit, formerly known as Electronic Entertainment Expo and commonly known as E3, is an annual Trade show for the computer A smartphone is a Mobile phone offering advanced capabilities beyond a typical mobile phone often with PC -like functionality (At E3, games were demonstrated on the Nokia 3230, 6680, Nokia 6630, and N90, but Nokia has not yet announced what phones will be compatible with this as-of-yet unnamed service). The Nokia 3230 is a Symbian Series 60 Smartphone announced on November 2, 2004. A 3G handset by Nokia running Symbian operating system with Series 60 version 2 user interface the Nokia 6680, features Bluetooth, a The Nokia 6630 is a 3G Smartphone made by Nokia, using the Series 60 platform with the Symbian operating system, released in November The Nokia N90 multimedia is a Smartphone with two displays and Carl Zeiss optics (made by Konica Minolta) These phones won't be compatible with the games sold on MMC in stores, but will be able to download games over the cellular network, or play games downloaded on your computer. The MultiMediaCard ( MMC) is a Flash memory All of the details of this scheme have not yet been stated, but this network/scheme is expected for mid 2007.

During E3 2006[16] there were a number of announcements related to Nokia’s next generation mobile games strategy which continued to stress gameplay across a range of Nokia cellphones, rather than one particular 'gaming handheld', as before. A mobile game is a Video game played on a Mobile phone, Smartphone, PDA or Handheld computer

The company explained the core of the service as ". . . a pre-installed application which allows consumers to easily find, buy and play rich and immersive games on a range of Nokia Nseries multimedia computers and other Nokia S60 devices. Immersion is the state of Consciousness where an immersant's awareness of physical self is diminished or lost by being surrounded in an engrossing total environment often "

Nokia also announced that gaming communities, in a similar vein to Xbox Live, are another key element of the company's mobile gaming strategy. At the base of this it cited its already existing N-Gage Arena.

Nokia also announced deals with Electronic Arts and Gameloft and six new titles including,[17] fishing sim Creatures of the Deep a follow up to its first party fighting game ONE, with ONE: Who’s Next? and System Rush: Evolution.

System Rush Evolution is now included as standard on the Nokia N93 and a version of ONE: Who’s Next? was demonstrated on the Nokia N93 during E3 2006 as well, both games demonstrate improved graphics.

Since E3 2006 Nokia has been relatively quiet. However, recently it announced findings of a study on mobile gaming behavior carried out by Nielsen research[18].

In December 2006, Nokia launched the Future Watch website to track the evolution of the next generation of the N-Gage platform. According to the site, the launch date for the next generation of the N-Gage is mid 2007.

The original phone's taco-shaped design was considered clumsy: to insert a game, users had to remove the phone's plastic cover and remove the battery compartment as the game slot was next to it. ***************************************************************************************** * * Opera is a Web browser and Internet suite developed by the Opera Software company Another clumsy feature was the speaker and microphone being located on the side edge of the phone. This often resulted in many to describe it as if one was talking into a "taco phone"[29] or "Sidetalking", or simply that they had one very large ear, because the user held the edge of the phone against the cheek in order to talk into it. A taco ( is a traditional Mexican dish composed of a Maize or wheat Tortilla folded or rolled around a filling The comfort factor of lengthy calls was also called into question. Despite the criticism, it is thought that the speakers were there for a practical reason: if placed elsewhere, the screen would get in contact with the cheek and become smudged. However, almost all other cell phones have the screen against the cheek when the user is talking. Despite the questionable practicality, gamers were still unwilling to talk in such an awkward manner.

When considered from a video game point of view, the N-Gage was known for its unusual screen orientation, a vertical one as opposed to a horizontal one (which is more popular with other handhelds). A video game is a Game that involves interaction with a User interface to generate visual feedback on a video device. The reason for this was that the underlying operating system, Series 60, did not support horizontal orientations at that time (only supported since S60v3 ). Some felt this to be a negative feature, feeling that 'unconventional' does not necessarily mean improvement. Possibly due to this screen feature, as well as the public's luke-warm reception to the device, the game library was far from extensive. Despite this, the N-Gage did manage to garner some well known franchises such as Tomb Raider, Sonic, Rayman, Red Faction, and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, The Elder Scrolls, among others. Tomb Raider is a Video game developed by Core Design and published by Eidos Interactive. Video Games See also [[List of games featuring Sonic the Hedgehog]] Nearly all games in the series feature a teenage hedgehog named "Sonic the Hedgehog" Rayman is an Anthropomorphic Video game character and is the official mascot of the video game publisher Ubisoft.

The Elder Scrolls (also known as Elder Scrolls or abbreviated as TES) is a Computer role-playing game series developed

From a cell phone standpoint, the N-Gage also faced problems. Besides the unusual form factor, in the US it was initially sold primarily through specialty game outlets instead of through cell phone providers, which only called attention to its high pre-subsidy price, lack of games, and curious interface compared to other gaming devices (thanks to the Series 60 interface and unusual face button layout). In Economics, a subsidy (also known as a subvention is a form of financial assistance paid to a business or economic sector Once cellphone retail outlets started carrying the phone, which didn't become a widespread practice in the US until well after the release of the N-Gage QD, it still faced problems. The N-Gage is a Mobile telephone and Handheld game system based on the Nokia Series 60 platform The N-Gage and its successor, the N-Gage QD, worked only on GSM networks, meaning that it was incompatible with the then-largest US cell service provider, Verizon Wireless, as well as all of Japan's cell networks. GSM ( Global System for Mobile communications: originally from Groupe Spécial Mobile) is the most popular standard for Mobile phones in the Cellco Partnership, Doing business as Verizon Wireless, owns and operates the second largest Wireless Telecommunications network in the Where N-Gage was compatible with major cell phone networks its popularity varied. It was not well received in Canada and the UK for instance but received a much warmer reception in mainland Europe and in particular Asia where games on mobile phones were seen as much more desirable.

The original N-Gage, though, still had many benefits to developers and end-users. It had a large amount of executable RAM memory compared to Series 60 devices (the 66xx series); it had MP3 decoding in a dedicated hardware chip as Nokia 3300 (other Series 60 devices, including the N-Gage QD, rely on software decoding); it had stereo output from a mini headphone jack plug; and it could be mounted as a USB Mass Storage device on any compatible computer without requiring the Nokia PC Connect software.

N-Gage QD

Nokia N-Gage QD
Nokia N-Gage QD

The N-Gage QD (QD stands for quaque die, meaning every day in Latin[30][31]) was Nokia's successor to the N-Gage and was released six months after the first N-Gage, replacing it in 2004. Latin ( lingua Latīna, laˈtiːna is an Italic language, historically spoken in Latium and Ancient Rome. It revised the device's physical design, being smaller and rounder. It corrected the flaw of the cartridge slot with a more convenient one on the bottom of the device. This design also moved the earpiece to the face of the device, rather than on the side, as in the previous model. Despite the revision, many were quick to criticize the unit, just as they did the original N-Gage. Some noted that the rubber fitting side that closed the gap between the device top and bottom casing could be easily loosened over a few months if it were dropped regularly, although this was hardly a recommended practice in taking care of the unit. Once the rubber piece was removed, the device became more vulnerable to water or particles entering the internals unless the fitting was replaced. The fitting was available at Nokia's service centers, and was also available in a variety of colors through various third-party sellers via online electronics suppliers or eBay. eBay Inc is an American Internet company that manages eBaycom an Online auction and shopping Website in which people and businesses buy and

The device retailed at a lower price, further aided by the fact that it was generally sold with a pre-paid cell phone service contract and the corresponding subsidy. In the United States, the N-Gage QD was available as a prepaid phone offered by Cingular for $99. 99 at retail games stores such as Electronics Boutique and GameStop. EB Games (formerly known as Electronics Boutique) is an international computer and video games retailer GameStop Corporation ( is the world's largest Video game and entertainment software retailer This is no longer the case as the device has reached the end of its lifespan and the above mentioned stores have discontinued carrying the QD.

Some of the 'bulky' features of the system such as MP3 playback, FM radio reception, and USB connectivity were removed from the device, presumably to cut size and cost. The QD did not support MP3 internally; however, it could still play MP3s with third-party software, albeit only in 16 kHz mono. Monaural (often shortened to mono) sound reproduction is single-channel

Instead of using the N-Gage with generic USB removable drive drivers, a user would use either Bluetooth or a separate MMC card reader to transfer files onto the device memory or an MMC card for use in the N-Gage QD. The MultiMediaCard ( MMC) is a Flash memory

Another change from the original unit was the "Orange-and-grey" theme of the face of the unit as well as the GUI. Some felt this was an unwanted change from the 'more colorful' GUI of the original N-Gage. Even then there were some third-party applications that enhanced the interface or replaced the system shell. In computing a shell is a piece of software that provides an interface for users

As for the telephone portion, it no longer supported the three GSM frequency bands 900/1800/1900; instead it came in two dualband variants, one for the American market and one for the European and Asian markets. GSM ( Global System for Mobile communications: originally from Groupe Spécial Mobile) is the most popular standard for Mobile phones in the

The rest of the N-Gage QD hardware specifications were otherwise the same as the original N-Gage; same vertical screen layout, button configuration, etc.

N-Gage QD Silver Edition

Announced in August 2005[32], the N-Gage QD Silver Edition could be seen as an exercise in extending the life of the N-Gage product range while new N-Gage devices were developed and the N-Gage gaming range was integrated into the mainstream Series 60 product range. Apart from cosmetic changes and the replacement of the two specialist gaming buttons (5 and 7) with standard keys, there was no difference in the N-Gage QD Silver Edition to the regular N-Gage QD.
