Product Description
 Gaming
is the heart and soul of the N-Gage QD, but don't forget, it's also a powerful
phone with the latest mobile Web, e-mail and messaging features. While we liked
the ability to use it as a conventional handset, Bluetooth is built in, so going
hands-free is easy with a Bluetooth-enabled headset. If you're not
Bluetooth-inclined, there's also a jack for a wired headset. Like ringtones? You
can get creative with polyphonic sounds that get you noticed in a crowd.
The N-Gage QD packs plenty of portable graphics firepower.
If you have GSM or GPRS data service, you can browse the wireless Web using the
built-in browser. We found these features tricky to set up and the Nokia
interface for these functions somewhat confusing, but once we got things going,
we enjoyed downloading some game tips and tricks from n-gage.com. The unit also
serves as a wireless e-mail and messaging client with support for all the latest
protocols (MMS, SMS, IMAP4, POP3, SMTP, and MIME2). We especially liked the
Java-based expandability of the phone; with a data connection it’s fun to
download new Java-based games and new game levels. You can also download
productivity apps like calendars and planners.
With this iteration of the N-Gage, Nokia decided to drop the FM radio and MP3
player functions from the device. We think these would have been nice to retain,
but Nokia was intent on making the N-Gage QD more exclusively focused on gaming.
Nokia has retained multiplayer gaming via Bluetooth, so you can still go
head-to-head with up to four players via a wireless connection.
