Nokia Launches N-Gage First Access

Nokia has finally released its N-Gage mobile gaming application, with which it hopes to drive consumer uptake of mobile games and increase the credibility of the mobile phone as a gaming platform. However, the launch is limited to users of the N91 device, and this is only a limited release with a small range of titles for users to try. However, we believe Nokia is right to be cautious, and that this approach will pay off for both Nokia and operators that choose to work with it on its Ovi services platform.
