We’ve seen the original Quake game ported to Symbian S60 platform. We’ve even seen Quake 3 Arena on the iPhone and iPod Touch and now it [Quake 3 Arena] is available for select Nokia smartphones as well. By “select” I mean those devices that have 128MB of RAM and rely on Texas Instruments’ OMAP 2420 CPU like the Nokia N95 8GB, N82 and E90 Communicator. The original N95 is unfortunately not on the list due to lack of RAM.
But wait a tick. This port is super cool because it also supports other Bluetooth accessories like keyboard and mouse that will help you enjoy the game like you used to on your PC. In addition, multiplayer mode is also supported!
I can easily envision true Quake fans connecting one of the supported devices to their TV set and playing the game from the comfort of the Bluetooth keyboard. Is this future of gaming or what?
Check out the full article on SymbianFreak how to make Quake 3 Arena work on your Nokia device (again, in case it’s supported). While there, you can also download necessary files.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
