N-Gage has been Nokia’s gaming focus for quite some time, but after several attempts of trying to revive the service, Nokia has finally decided to call it a day. As mobile gaming evolves and begins to encompass social gaming, Nokia want to offer one store front with a wider portfolio of games – games for everyone. It’s much more convenient to have one place to get all your mobile content, and this it what the Ovi Store aims to provides. You can see the full N-Gage press release after the jump… Read the rest of this entry »

In Part One of the Nokia N86 8MP Review I focused on the hardware and build quality of the handset. Today I intend to delve deep inside the N86 exploring the software aspect of the device. Just to quickly recap, the Nokia N86 8MP is Nokia’s new flagship camera-phone. The device sports 8GB of built in storage as well as a microSD card slot, and has all the now ’standard’ features including Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS and a Digital Compass. The N86 has a built in FM transmitter too, along with the extraordinary 8 megapixel, Carl Zeiss wide-angle lens, setting itself way above it’s competition. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s been a long time but finally Nokia’s gaming platform, N-gage, is available for the Nokia N97. Albeit the N97 isn’t listed on the N-Gage website you can download N-Gage by opening the ‘Software update’.

There you need to download ‘N97 C: Phone memory update’ first and than the N-Gage application. After the download and installation process are finished you can navigate to the ‘Games’ folder and start enjoying the new N-Gage application. Unfortunately, not all N-Gage games are available for the N97 but you’ll find some good games for sure. After downloading the first games I noticed that the games are not fullscreen but 4:3 ratio. Why? Fullscreen would look much better.

Update: You can download N-Gage from here as well
