N-Gage game for N73

It's been a while ago since I last anticipate Nokia to come out with their new N-Gage platform which allows user to play games smoothly with great 3D graphics. Rumors have it that it'll be launch somewhere towards the end of December, however until now I still have yet to hear any news.

Lately Nokia launched their first mobile phone with full N-Gage games; model N81.

Nokia N81

From what I've read, my phone N73 is able to support N-Gage games. The only thing that I'll need to do is to upgrade the firmware. My concern now is when will the firmware be available? My guess would be a short wait till early next year. But what about all the other N series? I suppose Nokia would break the news in next to no time.

Nevertheless when the firmware is available, I still think that the game play in N73 will not perform as excellently as N81 because N81 have a secret weapon which is a built-in graphic accelerator. Though I honestly think that these devices will not take over DS Lite and PSP. Well... at least not so soon. :)

The main N-Gage distributors are Gameloft and EA Mobile. Users can get free trial games from them and if they find the games appealing, just simply pay to unlock the game.

I positively believe that phone gamers out there are definitely looking forward for the debut of the N-Gage platform. I will keep you guys updated once the firmware is out in the market.
