Nokia's N-Gage goes live

We've been waiting patiently for the N-Gage software to go gold and today Nokia has put us out of our misery: the software is live and available for download.

Using N-Gage will make you cool, like FunTimer

For those living under a rock, the N-Gage platform is Nokia's newest online content delivery service, offering game downloads directly to your handset, or to your PC first. The N-Gage interface looks a lot like Xbox Live's, and the service could end up costing you just as much after you've paid for and downloaded all the games on offer.

As well as downloads, N-Gage lets you add friends to a list of contacts, with whom you can exchange private messages or chat. Those who don't feel like messaging on their phones can access the same functionality from their PCs.

There are currently five games available to try and buy through N-Gage: Brain Challenge; Asphalt 3: Street Rules; World Series of Poker Pro Challenge; Hooked On: Creatures of the Deep; and System Rush: Evolution.

N-Gage is currently available from the N-Gage Web site for those in possession of an N81, N82 or N95.

      Motorola MOTO U9

      Motorola's MOTO U9 would look the part sliding out of a tote bag in an inner city bar, but out of place on the boardroom table. The sleek, smooth finish houses a basic mobile with only a few common phone features.

      Motorola MOTOROKR T505 Bluetooth In-Car Speakerphone

      For people who need an in-car hands-free speakerphone the MOTOROKR T505 will certainly do the job. It looks good and couldn't be simpler to use.

      The cheap and cheerful KF510 is a good-looking phone, but its interactive disco buttons don't make for a pleasant texting experience.

      Samsung U900

      Samsung's official phone of the Olympic games may not look especially sporty, but HSDPA, lag-free performance, and its great 5-megapixel camera help get the U900 out of the blocks and over the line.

      Nokia 6220 Classic

      Playing on the brunette-stereotype, the Nokia 6220 Classic is a 3G smartphone that transcends its demure looks with pragmatic appeal, a stand-out 5MP camera and assisted-GPS.
