Instead of using cables, multiplayer gaming was accomplished with Bluetooth or the Internet (via the N-Gage Arena service).

This kind of design was roughly used before by the Nokia 5510 mobile phone. The N-Gage is used in a wide physical form with a 2.1 inch TFT display in the centre with a D-pad to the left and numerical keys to the right, among other buttons. Ī disassembled N-Gage, showing each layer of hardware This was announced as the N-Gage platform or 'N-Gage 2.0' in 2007, carrying on the N-Gage name. The N-Gage was discontinued in February 2006, with Nokia moving its gaming capabilities onto selected Series 60 smartphones. However, the new model was unable to make an impact, and with only 2 million units sold in its two years, the N-Gage and its QD model were a commercial failure, unable to challenge their Nintendo rival. Nokia introduced the N-Gage QD in 2004 as a redesign of the original 'Classic' N-Gage, fixing widely criticized issues and design problems. The original N-Gage was described as resembling a taco, which led to its mocking nickname 'taco phone'. This was unsuccessful, partly because the buttons, designed for a telephone, were not well-suited for gaming. N-Gage attempted to lure gamers away from the Game Boy Advance by including telephone functionality. It runs the original Series 60 platform on Symbian OS v6.1. The N-Gage is a smartphone combining features of a mobile phone and a handheld game system developed by Nokia, announced on 4 November 2002 and released on 7 October 2003.
