N-Gage Now For Your N-Phone
As you may well remember, Nokia brought out the N-Gage games/phone back before 2003, following it up with the N-Gage 1.5, then the second generation N-Gage QD (June 2004). None of them really set the world alight.

Nokia knock out two new phones. We try to get excited.
Nokia 5320
The Nokia 5320 comes in a classic candy-bar form factor and serves up the rather gimmicky Say and Play feature. This lets punters bellow a song or name of an artist into their phone, and the software will dutifully serve it up.
There’s certainly no shortage of more useful features on board though, with the 3G phone offering a ‘full Internet browser for Web 2.0 access,’ dedicated XpressMusic keys, an audio chip for advanced sound quality, a handy 3.5mm audio jack, a 2.0 Megapixel camera with flash, HS-USB and microSD card support for up to 8GB.
