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.

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...

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.

Nokia shouldn't take so long to introduce N Gage in 5800. Its after all one its best sellers, and we all know that all 5800 users suffer because of the lack of games(the prebundled racing game is pathetic!) and apps. So nokia should start taking this issue seriously.

> In reply to [deleted post]Maybe it's because the N97 was announced 8 months ago which gave Nokia plenty of time to get N-Gage working for this phone with it's underpowered processor and lack of hardware 3D graphics support.

Is Quickoffice working yet?

i already told since the first time N97 went public, that the sole reason why they put the D-Pad on the left side of the phone is for gaming purpose.
and since all N-gage devices have left-side D-pad, it's only natural that this phone will support N-gage too.
