Nokia N-Gage review from United Kingdom
"Perfect size for big hands, but lacking the power for its features"
What things have gone wrong with the mobile phone?
Got a Symbian virus on it, which ran down the battery and tried to spread itself to other phones within the bluetooth range. Had to have the phone flashed at a cost of 20 pounds, not earth shattering, but annoying if you get the same virus again within a few days, which is very possible!.. Its called Caribe by the way. Spreads via bluetooth, so if you're not using it, turn the bluetooth function off. Safer!
General comments?
It's a cracker, but it needs a higher capacity battery if you want to make good use of its features. If you use the radio or mp3 or play games, then you'll have a flat battery within 8 or 9 hours.
It's of good quality, but the side talk is a bit of a strange one... you get funny looks!. The memory card is next to the battery, so both have to be removed to change a card or change games. Best to put a large capacity card in and save all your games to the one card.
If you're used to Nokia's, then forget what you have learned. Being a Symbian phone, it's all different. Still easy to use, but different.
