Nokia’s N-Gage Service Delayed Again: Who Cares?

Saturday, December 29th, 2007

I think we can all recall the debacle that was the original N-Gage. It was uncomfortable, it was clunky, and it looked like a taco. However, in September Nokia was supposed to roll out the new N-Gage service on their N-81 model. However, delays arrived, and they pushed it back to November. Then December. Now, it has been delayed again until early 2008, citing a single issue that persists and needs to be solved. Honestly, they kinda blew it with the original N-Gage. No matter how innovative, stylish, or generally awesome this new service turns out to be, the original still leaves us bad memories, and taints this service. Kudos to Nokia for trying though–hopefully they can get this thing off the ground soon.n81.jpg
