The marketing blurb:

Meet the newest member of the N-Gage family! The N-Gage QD game deck has all
the gaming features of the original game deck, plus a few welcome
adjustments - like hot swap for your game cards. We trimmed off the MP3
player (and some of the price!), gave it a slick, non-sidetalking design,
and shrunk it all down so it fits better in your pocket. The N-Gage Arena
launcher software is also pre-installed and ready to go, so you're that much
closer to owning the mobile gaming world. Hey, you talked, we listened!

The only thing it did have going for it was the MP3 player!

Apparently, this feature might be able to be added back in,

"It was pointed out that MP3 software would be available for the phone via
the Internet.".

yeah what good will that do with NO usb port....u know it takes friggin ages
for 2-3mb files to transfer thru bluetooth?!?!?! USB connection on my ngage
takes less than a minute....my bluetooth trasnfered it in 7.5 minutes!?!?!?!
argh...thats longer than playing the damp mp3...wtf...you'll need a card
reader like the 6600....blah useless...

the usb port was designed for LARGE file transfers so I cant see what an
mp3player available over the net will do...bet it wont even be in stereo
....

my ngage produces the BEST quality mp3 playback of any mobile phone on the
market...full stop....i dare anyone to challenge me on that statement....

cheers ;)

And apparently the USB port is gone too...

Good to see that some of the things are fixed that people complained
about most (eg the taco shell design, not being able to hot swap games,
size etc), but even with the changes ... Not sure if this will sell or
not at all!
