Whats Thats Bad About N-gage?!

[Wildies]

I am thinking about selling my Samsung T200 and Buying N-gage, my T200 doesnt have any problem but its very simple just a phone with a colour screen . i just need some more active phone with me.

so i think N-gage is the best nowadays , it got MP3 Player with upgradable capacity , FM Radio , Games, Java , Blue Tooth , i am seeing its very good really. but the only problem thats i dont like about its the way of talking ( with the side of the phone).

but i am seeing alot of poeple hate it , and i dont know why really??!!

can any advice me before i got it, if it have something worng, and if there a mobile in its same price range better than it?!

Get the JayZ black one :)

Get what you want, not what other people tell you.

I think it's crap, personally. My friend has one, he thinks its the pooch's pods. I think otherwise.

It is more of a gaming device to me which is mainly why I hate it. If you do buy one, get the new model. Though I don't know if it's more expensive but it is slightly smaller and stuff like that. And why do you want a mobile that is in the same price range? Just get one that is actually good not what features it has, I mean, mobiles are to communicate not an entertainment device. Though that's just me.

The new Version doesnt have MP3 Player or FM Radio , it only does have the Games , and really to me i dont care for the game thats much.

And for me mobiles not only for communication really , i like to hear some music while in uni or while i am going to anywhere , so to have MP3 player in the the mobile is better Idea for me, than to have seprate MP3 player.

And YaZoR why do u think its crap?!? , and sure i will got what i want , i just wanna know if any else get it and had some trouble with it , to know if it has problemes in something specific.

games on mobiles get old pretty quick, and the ngage being geared towards that wouldnt be the best.

i dont have an ngage though but i know there are better things out there like an xda which has everything u could fit into a pda plus a mobile phone

You will be replacing a cell phone with a gaming device which can marginally function as a cell phone. Most people use their cell phone enough that the hassle of having a marginally functional cell phone is more than enough to not use the cell phone with th ngage. It is expensive for a game device, and sucks as a cell phone.

biggest problem i can see is when making a phonecall, the speaker and mic are in rather odd positions on the phone

I've heared you have to hold the phone sideways on your face :/

that could get annoying after a while...

BRICK

[threetonesun]

Have you tired using one? I think that would explain why no one likes it.

ive tried one for calling. you look stupid, lol.

[ElectricDemon]

If you are after a gaming phone then it'd probably be worth holding out until ATi and nVidia's mobile chips start getting used in PPCs and mobile phones, those should be worth the wait, using 3d accelerated graphics etc.

It could be a long wait though :o

another gaming phone idea would be to get a nokia 6600, and quite alot of the ngage games work on that, if you know where to get the games from, and have an SD card to transfer them to.

Oh, didn't know that it didn't have them. I didn't do too much researching on the new one just skimmed through one review of it.

I guess everyone's different, I don't need an MP3 player in a mobile phone (even though I did have one) as I'm not one of those guys who walk around town listening to music.

If you're planning to buy a N-Gage, I recommend you buy a Nokia 6600 instead. It basically has the same features plus more!

Ask xSammyx or altezza, they both own 6600 and they love it. You can play N-Gage games on the 6600 as well.

[HappyCar]

HAHAHAHAHAHHAa totally sidetallking

LOVE IT! 5 stars! :woot:

[Rek]

They crash alot and corrupt I know that from a few people i used to talk to

[YaZoR]

you look like you have an elephants ear attached to your head when you use it to talk.

[Wildies]

the 6600 is double the price of the N-gage here in my Country cuz of the Camera , and i really dont need Camera in any thing in my Mobile.

And yeah i Already said i dont like its way of talking . but it aint that bad anyway.

i will try to see any of my friends and try to make a call with it , and see if i like it or not.

but i think beside this there nothing bad in it.

Get what you want, not what other people tell you.

YES! That's exactly right. If you like it, get it. I personally felt like an idiot when I had mine for all of 8 days.

[~clean]

Not used mine as a fone, just got it for games, fifa n stuff was great.

.. no way you gonna catch me using it sideways. The new one looks cooler, if i get one i wont miss the radio or the mp3, prob better off waiting n getting that.

Would you rather pay double for something that you'll get more out of or would you rather pay for something that you won't like?

hypoxiaicon bought one for his fiance, and the reaction was "OH NO! What did I buy?!" LOL

I can understand how you don't need a camera or anything in your mobile, but you'll be suprised at its usefulness when you're having fun with friends and stuff.

[Wildies]

Dont know , but i cant affored double the price ,

i will have to wait alittle .....and i really get bored from my mobile :/
