OK, stupid question, but I just realized something.. where the hell do you talk into this thing?
edit-Bluetooth is a free wireless technology using RF signals. Most bluetooth devices have a range of 30 ft or so. I don't know about speed, but it shouldn't be an issue.
I believe the bluetooth is just a wireless activity. No wires. Its free..all it does is let you play against people without cables and use a headset without wires dangling.
Well dont forget..Gaming is #1, Phone is #2.Quote:

From the looks of it..the number buttons would go to your ear and the directional buttons is where you mouth is. Why, I think that? the ON/OFF button is on the side of the number buttons, and the headphone jacks? is at the bottom of the gadget
Wow.... if this thing is competitively priced with GBA than an owner is me! :sweat:Quote:

Looks like Tomb Raider is running better on the N-Gage than the PlayStation version. GS also said the control and comfortability is very good, and Nokia said the system and games will be competetively priced with GBA, and that it is a games system first, and a cel phone second. Eat it, PV :D
I think that anything under $150u would make me a potential owner. I don't need a mobile.. but it would be nice to have. I don't need an mp3 player since I have an mp3/CD3 player.. but for that price I would buy it as a game machine alone! The games sound pretty decent already too. Sonic N, Puyo Puyo, and Puzzle Bobble... those are the same reasons I bought a NGPC so why not. :)
Also, Nokia can just phase out the handset talking and ONLY use the bluetooth headset as the ONLY way of communication on the phone/handheld.
The headset has a Answer/Hangup button on it, instead of pressing it on the N-Gage. I want one of these bluetooth headsets for my Nokia 7210, but my new phone doesnt have Bluetooth...pisses me off. I want to walk around talking without any wires.
I am no expert on Bluetooth... but from the little I know about it I can say that it is for communicating of devices wirelessly within a relatively close proximity. It's a very popular and well respected technology and I am almost positive that it's speed for multiplayer gaming will not be an issue.Quote:

I love the idea of wireless multiplayer. The GBA link cable is just too damn short... so any time you play multiplayer it's inconvenient. Especially since you have people trying to catch the light from different angles.. and it's a pain in the neck to play multiplayer on the go since you have to carry the cable with you....
Wireless multiplayer will it easy to play multiplayer anywhere. Now I just need to convince my girfriend she needs one too.. but I got her to buy a GBA and a Dreamcast so why not... the lure of Puyo should make it easy. ;)
Yep, Bluetooth was in development for a long time, but now that it's finally out, stuff like you're talking about will hopefully happen. It's exactly what Bluetooth was meant for.Quote:

I dream of a wireless future. :)
I'm all about some N-Gage.
Sounds fucking wonderfull. I WILL buy it.Quote:

I feel like most people: Get rid of the fucking phone and go pure gaming. The design of the face is clustered, while the engineering of the unit itself looks like a sharp GBA rip.
They have Sonic N? I don't know what that is but it's something, atleast. I just don't see it being functional with all of those buttons. It does have so many good features (blue tooth) but the phone business should be cut. (Digital music is a welcome addition)
