The company plans to shutter the game download and community in September 2010 and is moving all its users over to the Ovi Store. Games on devices and in the store will remain, but Nokia warns that community features like high scores will come to an end as part of the switchover.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/30/nokia.n.gage.closes.in.2010/ Fri, 30 Oct 2009 19:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/08/nokia.ovi.store.to.get.20k/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0902/nokiaovistore.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Nokia's Ovi Store will open with a much larger catalog than its immediate rivals did when they were new, the company said late Thursday. Executive VP of services Niklas Savander estimates to Forbes that the portal will launch with about 20,000 "items" when it launches in late spring, just ahead of the N97 touchscreen smartphone's July release. While a significant number of these will include sho... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/08/nokia.ovi.store.to.get.20k/ Fri, 08 May 2009 14:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/10/10/nokia.n.gage.teaser/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0810/nokiaphoneteaser.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Nokia is potentially gearing up to launch another device at the start of next week, a new teaser shows. The page shows an image of what appears to be a 7610 Supernova but says the device will "unlock" by about 8PM on the 13th, suggesting an evening phone launch. Some members of the online media have also received an invite for a similar timeframe and have been told the event relates to N-Gage, t... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/10/10/nokia.n.gage.teaser/ Fri, 10 Oct 2008 18:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/26/nokia.brings.n96.to.us/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0808/nokian96.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Nokia today tried its hand again at competing in the US smartphone market with the announcement of a North American edition of the N96. The black slider phone carries the same 16GB of built-in storage, five-megapixel camera, true GPS and Wi-Fi as the version just reaching Europe but makes a few key changes to adapt to the Western market. The update brings full 850MHz band HSDPA to support 3G on ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/26/nokia.brings.n96.to.us/ Tue, 26 Aug 2008 12:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/25/nokia.n79.and.n85/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0808/nokian85-conversations.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />(Update: official release due tomorrow) Nokia today fulfilled a promise from earlier this month with two new Nseries devices both aimed at driving down the cost of getting into full smartphones. The N85 as flagship appears set to replace the N81 and upgrades the camera from two to five megapixels, also adding GPS both for mapping and for geotagging shots. It also switches to a 2.6-inch AMOLED sc... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/25/nokia.n79.and.n85/ Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/05/23/nokia.to.allow.n.gage.move/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0805/nokian81.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Nokia will allow users to transfer their N-Gage games from phone to phone after all, the company confirmed on Friday. The company has caused controversy by tying each game purchase to a specific phone, forcing customers to repurchase each game if they upgrade, but now says it has a means for users to port their game libraries without raising piracy concerns. The solution will at first involve co... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/05/23/nokia.to.allow.n.gage.move/ Fri, 23 May 2008 14:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/04/03/nokia.n.gage.goes.public/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0708/nokian81.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />After having done a limited soft launch in February, Nokia has officially thrown open the doors to N-Gage, its online gaming service. Users can download demos of games that use both 2D and 3D technology, and then buy full titles through the same means. In some cases, users can play the games against other opponents online, via the N-Gage Arena.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/04/03/nokia.n.gage.goes.public/ Thu, 03 Apr 2008 19:15:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/14/nokia.yamake.for.n.gage/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0802/nokian96-3.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Nokia today said it had developed a new game for its N-Gage game platform that will let users create their own titles. Yamake is a game of its own but centers around creating mini-games using the player's own content: audio, photos, and videos captured or stored on the phone can be used to build puzzles. The resulting creations can be shared through the N-Gage Arena and are linked to a comment s... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/14/nokia.yamake.for.n.gage/ Thu, 14 Feb 2008 13:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/05/nokia.launches.n.gage.ovi/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0708/nokian81.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />After considerable delay, Nokia has finally begun an initial rollout of its N-Gage gaming service.

N-Gage was originally slated to launch in November, in part to support its N81 gaming phone; the date was then moved to this week, but the company now says that N-Gage is still in no shape for a debut. The network's 1,000 testers are said to have encountered "unexpected difficulties," meaning that the early-adopter First Access... http://www.macnn.com/articles/07/12/21/new.nokia.n.gage.delay/ Fri, 21 Dec 2007 16:50:00 GMT
