I have a VERY strong opinion about N-Gage, and wrote quite a lengthy rant. Basically I think the Nokia portion of N-Gage needs to be dumped. N-Gage should be something people think of as "ohh sweet my new phone has N-Gage support, means I can play all these mobile games out now."
Nokia needs to realize the power of the platform. Why not create an N-Gage platform that transcends mobile phone brand? Do to mobile phones what Microsoft did to gaming with Direct X: N-Gage 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, etc. Give people a reason to want a new phone every year or so, and developers a common set of tools to make their dreams into products.
