N-Gage on the N97

Finally, Nokia N-Gage is available for the N97.

For those who do not know, N-Gage is the games application from Nokia. Although not showing on the N-Gage webside, it should be available by heading over to ‘Software updates’ application. Let is search for available updates and you should see N-Gage.

It takes a couple of minutes to update, but the application should then be in the games folder on your N97.

There is a good review of the Nokia N97 and comparison with the iPhone in The Guardian.

On some scores, the N97 is streets ahead of the iPhone: screen resolution is better, the 5 megapixel camera superior and the video much better . It has an FM radio, FM transmission and more memory for the money. It has a big selection of music and, now, its own Ovi store for apps (games and services) which works fine, except the cupboard is embarrassingly bare.
