Nokia's E3 website this year (http://www.n-gage.com/e3/) had a section on their Next Generation of games-capable smartphones which are due to launch in 2006. The site told us a lot about the Next Gen which will replace the current generation N-Gage: the Next Gen will have next generation graphics (http://web.n-gage.com/e3/video/videos.html?ID=22), the games will be sold entirely as downloads direct to phone (http://web.n-gage.com/e3/Images/mobile_screen.jpg) or via your PC (http://web.n-gage.com/e3/Images/pc_screen.jpg), and the games will work on a wide range of Nokia Symbian smartphones, not just one model. It also said more information would become available in September including details of the launch games lineup, but a source tells us the official press briefing may happen on October the 1st. Hints at the contents of the announcement may also be revealed during the N-Gage chief's webchat (http://www.allaboutngage.com/news.php?id=40982) on Thursday 22nd of September.
