Curious - Would you use the Nokia N-Gage as a Cell Phone?

[T1000X]

I've been looking at the Nokia N-Gage as a possible cell phone when it comes out late this year/early next year (Q4 2003). It has Bluetooth so I'd think you could set it up to use with a Clie (with BT) to get online. This is very appealing to me because I know my next PDA must have Bluetooth. I was just curious if anyone else was thinking about getting it as well. Of course I'm also interested in the gaming features of the device.

I don't know...

It is a cool phone, but it seems to me it's main function is a gaming device. I don't really need that in a phone.

But if you want the games very much, this looks like it will have some good ones. Plus Bluetooth and a mobile phone is pretty nice. Get it if you like it.

Those phone are for my kids...not for me. I would look funny with those phone on my hands. There is another interesting Nokia phone in the market now. It is Nokia 3650 which is tri-band, GPRS, Bluetooth, digitial camera, and capable for taking video clip. The design of the phone is also funky with round key pad instead of the standard 3X3. I am also hestitate to get the phone as my daughter intented to get one. I really love T68i, a good business phone and good for "image" for people in our age range. Nevertheless, T68i has some bug in its software. I am still in a lookout for a good phone that has tri-band, GPRS, bluetooth, and MMS.

I said no, but only because I think it is useless to have anything more advanced than a "snake-style" game on a phone.
