The story of the Nokia N-Gage
The N-Gage was Nokia's 2003 attempt to take on handheld game consoles. It played games from memory cards, ran Symbian, and doubled as an MP3 player and FM radio. Swapping a game meant taking out the battery, and making a call meant holding the phone edge-on to your ear, which earned it the nickname 'taco phone'. A redesigned N-Gage QD followed in 2004, but the original is the cult collector's piece.
Does the Nokia N-Gage work in Canada?
The Nokia N-Gage supports 2G only. Canada has switched off its 2G networks, so it cannot connect to a carrier or make calls here. Everything else works: it powers on, charges, and runs its offline features. Why old phones stop working in Canada.
What it is good for today
- Game card slot
- MP3 player
- FM radio
- Symbian
- Built-in games and game cards that still load and play
- A gift for anyone who owned one, or a prop for film, theatre and photo shoots
