Having played an N-Gage, I think it is a horrible waste of money. I
couldn't imagine using it as a cell phone for one thing. And the way
you had to change cartridges in the "original" models was simply
ridiculous. At least the latter is being remedied now, but still... if
one wanted a portable gaming system, a Game Boy Advance is under $100
and has thousands of games availible for it.
