You press the buttons...

Seriously, I didn't think it would work at all, but it does. The media keys still don't do anything in anything except the music player though

I'm glad you took the time to find out just how little the new N-Gage platform has to do with the old N-Gage devices

People on the official forums have reported that depending on how you're holding your N95 - the top key is always A while the one below is B. The other two media keys don't do anything though.

Woot I got my N82 Black yesterday!

I'm finally able to enjoy the new platform

This looks nice. But what sort of support does it have in homebrew/games/apps, etc?

Plus, I could never get into playing games on a cell phone. I like Handheld consoles better

No support lol ^^ And it is handheld, come on!

Btw everyone - FIFA 08 is now available for free! But only in some European countries, and the first 20,000 applicants... Check this site out to see if you're one of the lucky "few" and follow the instructions (note: it does not matter whether you have already installed the N-Gage application onto your phone or not, and the same goes for the game itself. Just continue clicking until you get to the part where you're supposed to fill in your phone number to have the game activated).

BAM - the Showroom has been updated with two more titles: Block Breaker Deluxe and Tetris! Wooh

In the UK, the I phone is actually considered an underpowered and under-functioned phone.. It's cheaper over here than in the states now as only posers are interested... I can't think of any other gadget where it's cheaper here!!

Maybe when the new model comes out it will fare better but they need to bump up the specs a fair bit... and make it cheaper, still way overpriced.

Oo I've forgotten to mention that Mile High Pinball is now available for £6 / €7

Reset Generation = Epic Music

In the US, the iPhone is considered under-powered, under-functioned, and over-hyped by anyone who actually knows anything about cell phones. People in the states are just Apple crazy. I work in electronics retail and every day I talk to people who would rather pay out the ass for an iPod than get any other mp3 player for less than half the price, it's all totally ridiculous.

problem is what do other mp3 players offer that the ipod does not?

Wireless headphones and/or wireless speakers ...

fair enough, i would rather have a bigger hard drive to store more songs though.
