Nokia's N81 8GB now shipping with N-Gage preview


Nokia's N81 is now, at this very moment, "available globally" according to Nokia. Pre-tax, pre-subsidy €360 / $515 for the 2GB microSD model or €430 / $615 for that full 8GB of on-board flash experience. Since the revamped N-Gage platform isn't online yet, the N81 comes pre-loaded with three playable demos of FIFA 07, Asphalt 3: Street Rules, and Space Impact Light. Those same games will be available for free download-and-preview over HSDPA when the service goes live sometime "later in 2007." Still, while Nokia touts a global launch, the fact that this quad-band GSM phone only sports 2100MHz WCDMA will limit its effective use in North America -- even if it is FCC approved.

...

Why not to try to license Nintendo's DS technology?

Nokias are traditionally thick - there should be plenty of space for cartridge.

d phone looks quite cool... bt the most important time would be when sony ericsson enters the gaming phone market with its "PlayStation" phone .. like it has done the branding for "Walkman" series of the phone... Well there is a buzz goin around that it has a prototype and it may launch the phone quite soon... but still no confirmed reports from any one of the officials. Well we'll probably keep our fingers crossed and hope that the announcement comes quite soon... Then it would be quite an amazing competition which will be quite good for the mobile gaming market..
