If a chip such is this is being used in cell phones, what's the N-Gage going to do? It's not being marketed towards gamers, it's being marketed to average people who need a cell phone, and would like to play a game or two. If every cell phone gets a 3D chip such as this one, they will feel little need for a N-Gage. They're not interested in paying $30 for a game when they could pay $5 to download a game onto their brand new cellphone that uses this ATI chip. It's not good for Nokia, it just is creeping in further on the cellphone/game gimmick market. People are going to get overwhelmed if every single cell phone out there plays games.

If you want my op. I think that Nokia make just bad phones. I prefer the Sanyos and the Samsung phones atleast the phones here the States are not that good but the ones we have like the Sanyos rock

Nokia make the best phones IMO. I've had six cell phones over an eight year period, and the Nokias own. From now on I'm just sticking with Nokia. I'm sick of the cruddy OSs all the other phones have (aside from the Symbian ones), and Nokia has enough of a range to cover everything.

Right now I use an 8910, and I think after this one I will also stick to metal phones. The titanium casing makes for a very tough piece of hardware!

I hardly use mobiles, but I remmeber that the Nokias were always the first phones to be really tiny that worked well at the same time, everyone in my old school wnated one when the tiny ones came out, also they are reliable according to many people who own the,and of course they made the bigger ones with multimedia such as fax, email etc.
