I for one am seriously thinking about it. I currently don't have a cell phone, plus it would be so tight to play 1st person shooters(my fav) online ANYWHERE. Without having a labtop ect... I'm gunna have to put away for the 300$. ^_^

I heard it was a lousy cell phone, and you have to remove the batteries everytime you switch games, plus they only have 1 half-way decent game out (don't remember what it was).

You'd be much better off buying a GBA and a cell phone seperately, or if you want wait for the PSX.

Not worth it at all. It's very cheaply made.

Sony's upcoming portable console. It's supposed to play Playstation 1 games (in a new cartridge form probably) and new games with Playstation 1 type graphics.

N-gage is supposed to have PS1 graphics. Sega already tried consoles when they made the Game Gear. I think thats what it was called? It was color and it ran out of batteries hella fast!

N-Gage doesn't have online anywhere. It just has multiplayer gaming via wireless linking. You can play FPS multiplayer, but the players still have to be present.

And for $300, which I'm pretty sure the retail price is, might as well get a GBA SP with about 4 games. 0.o But I still think the N-Gage is pretty cool :p

I talked to one of the guys at my local Gamestop and he said it has online, and multiplayer via wireless.
GBA isn't a cell phone, and it doesn't have online capabilites. I'll just wait till one of my friends gets one to see if its worth buying.

Thats the PSP, not PSX. Ant the N-Gage looks awful. I would never but it. It's made by NOKIA.
