n-gage will not install on n97..Nokia should do a much better job supporting its supposed flagship phone. I am going to trade this in for Iphone.

it is NOT compatible! I have the n97 (brilliant device) and i downloaded the latest installer directly from Ngage. I got loads of incompatibility warnings and then the 'unable to install - device not compatible' notification. Where did this information come from? Because it is WRONG!

Let's see... They were late to the market by like a year compared to other competing phones from other brands and it seems like they rushed the phone to the market with wrinkles not ironed out yet. Good job Nookia! They should have just waited until the whole touch screen fad goes away and then release this phone when it might be ready.

I had it with this piece of crap!

I got rid of my iphone, love the n97 device but the connectivity with apps and downloads with Nokia is utter crap. I've been trying to get n-gage working for 3 days. Nokia owes me for my time trying to get basic functionality on their flagship working. I am beginning to miss my iphone.

It doesn't seem to work. Not sure why? The website says that N97 is now supported but i downloaded the ngage application and it says not compatible.

Hate waiting. if N97 isn't still on n-gage then nokia 5800 will be on the next year. cool..... Nokia is interested only for that - when people buy their phones. surely that would be possible when they wont make n-gage support for nokia 5800. SHAME ON NOKIA!!! -2 stars. and why the F*** GPS ON my nokia 5800 isn't working. it's asking for downloading license manager, but when i enter the site he says when there are no updates, and when i use navigation, it escapes program after 5 seconds! IM VERY DISSAPOINTED ON NOKIA. I would better buy Iphone. stupid nokia. hate it! And it laggs as well...

> In reply to jack @ 2009-06-23 10:52 from vGCiHAHAHA. Yes, i totally agree that the preinstalled racing game in 5800 is pathetic, how do u win those cars? o_o
The response for the other preinstalled game, Bounce, is quite bad, most of the time bounce would get off the cliff and WHOOPS...
Yes, more games should be installed. Btw, ive downloaded some java games for my 5800, but it has no sound :(

There is still NO N-Gage software to support N97, I don't know why the author assumed that there's a version for N97 he should've tested it with N-gage.
