I don't know, but if you know the Assistant Manager, ask him (or her) what they are really taking preorders for.
Or, maybe they've just looked at their papers wrong, because the original N-Gage was released in October 2003, so they may just be three years late in taking and placing the preorders for it.

You can ask the Assistant Manager to identify which model, exactly, are they taking preorders for, and then you'll know.

why would a electronic games and hardware retailer ( think PSP, XBOX, PC, Nintendo, PS2, PS3) stock the n73 or n93?

Spring 2007 will be too little too late. I think Nokia has been doing nothing for months. If Nokia was on the ball it would be ready to release new S60 games long before next Spring.

After a bit of hunting I found the origianl article and added a link to it. I've also recategorised this as an editorial comment. Guess we need to find some fresh N-Gage news - a bit thin on the ground right now 
I'm not convinced there will be entirely gaming focused models. Perhaps a multimeida model that does gaming + video + music... In other words perhaps something with gaming orientated button layout, but I suspect there'll be less of a focus on it being a gaming device. (That said I'm not really a gaming expert)...

Spoke to the Assistant Manager of my local Gamestation today, they are taking pre-orders for a N-Gage device for October 2006...

The Gamasutra article claims that they had a telephone interview with Nokia's Sauter, so that can't have been just E3 coverage.
The stuff about the gaming-oriented smartphones with 3D processors and wide screens, the N-Gage name being in doubt, the possibility of retail games, they're all new things that were never mentioned at E3.
I tried to link to the original source many times, but the CMS software kept deleting it. In the end I just had to give the name of the site rather than a direct link.

Isn't that Gamasutra coverage/info from the March GDC and the May E3?
Why a "copy" report like that now in the latter half of June, as if is was still news?
In general, if somebody elses report/web site is used as the source, I think it'd be polite for the article to also link directly to the original site/source.

Nokia's Next Gen gaming service launching in Spring 2007, "gaming-oriented" models on way too
According to an interview on Gamasutra, Nokia is planning to launch its next generation of games across its latest S60 smartphone range in the Spring of 2007, and a number of "gaming-oriented" smartphone models will also be made available later, possibly in 2008. The gaming models would still be Symbian S60 smartphones, as the original N-Gage was, but they would have landscape screens and hardware accelerated graphics. The fate of the N-Gage name is unclear however.
Read on in the full article.
