The Nokia N-Gage didn't exactly get a warm welcome in the gaming community for various reasons. In an attempt to restore some of the lost credibility, Nokia is releasing a new version of the N-Gage: the N-Gage QD.
The mp3 player, radio and usb connectivity have been trimmed off. The Nokia N-Gage QD is no longer profiled as a multimedia machine like its predecessor, but instead focuses on gaming. You'll still be able to use it as a cellphone too, but without triband functionality.
A couple of the most interesting improvements:
-hot swapping: no more opening up the N-Gage and removing the battery before you can insert a new cartridge
-bigger screen with 65000 colors instead of 4096 previously
-(supposedly) longer battery life
-better design: the N-Gage QD is one fifth smaller than its predecessor
Operating system still is the Nokia-derivative of Symbian, and Bluetooth still allows you to communicate with other players.
Expected in may with a price tag of 200 euros.
