Downloading N-gage on a Mac

You say download using the usual PC Suite route - I've just downloaded it to my Mac and Bluetoothed it over, no problems ...

Use that PowerVR MBX its there for gaming!

Nokia needs to concentrate on getting some 3D hardware accelerated only games out for the N95/N82/N93...it is clear they will fall beinhd that little upstart Apple iPhone otherwise! Hope a rethink in strategy is on the cards!

lovesign So... flip this image upside down and TA DA !!!

Enfors Correct. The D-pad is on the left. But where are the other buttons? They're on the right!

lovesign With regards to the left Vs right handed controls, take a look at most gaming controllers.... where are the D Pads on them ??











I'm right handed and can't see what all the fuss is about myself.

neilhoskins When you first install it, it doesn't ask which access points you want to use, I just stumbled across that setting and found that it had just gone for the one at the top of my list in alphabetical order, which happens to be a friend's WiFi two hundred miles away. Even then, after I'd set the access points to the ones I wanted to use, it continued with the one it had been using, which was GPRS. It shows this in tiny letters in the top right. I'm on a capped plan so that only cost me a quid, but there could be some very pissed off punters by the end of this weekend. In the end, I seemed to have to restart the handset to get N-gage to use the access point I wanted.

BTW, Steve, it does actually seem to be allowing me to log on with the name I reserved a few months ago. Hard to tell, because it isn't obvious whether you're logged on or not.

Also, interesting that System Rush Evolution still doesn't have any instructions. WTF am I supposed to do, exactly?

Oh, and while I'm in rant mode, what is this nonsense with the controls on the left by default? Have the left-hander-human-rights lobby finally scored a victory?

neilhoskins As of ~9:00 Friday morning, the site is collapsing under the pressure, so I'll try later. Par for the course, I suppose.

Sergey Zak It is utterly inconsistent with other apps, and inconvenient, that all the games are rotated CCW in landscape! As if they all are for lefties. All the right-handed people have to scramble in Options and do Flip, so that the gaming buttons finally come under right hand.

Tetlee @Enfors(regarding the N93),

Hopefully the fact the N93 is one of the phones currently not supported(coming soon) means Nokia are getting their act together and working on a decent long needed firmware update. Guess we can but hope as the way I see it is if the N-Gage support update could likely be the last firmware update the N93 will receive(seeing as it's apparently been 2 years since the last one).

The only positive thing I take out of this is the N-Gage app is probably forcing an update which otherwise was looking unlikely to ever happen.

symbiandisciple very disappiont after all the hype and this is what we get, very shameful.

hargs48 Just tested Brain Challenge on my N95 8GB...its brilliant,the basic concept is the same as the java game but with added benefits of better sound,zero loading times...and more...

The 1 thing I notice that by installing this new full release it deletes the "1st access" version as well as all the demo's that you have...so you forced to reinstalled or download them all again...

Ratkat Steve, It let me login with my reserved name.

Just tried to add you with 'slitchfield' and it says you don't exist

N93 not supported!

As I suspected. The N93 is (currently) not supported.

Us N93 owners have been waiting the longest for next gen N-gage, since it is (AFAIK) the oldest N-gage compatible device. And it was Nokia's flag ship device when we bought it. And we're not getting any firmware updates either, even though they are desperately needed. It seems we have been totally abandoned!

I don't normally whine like this, but I expected more when I bought a Nokia flag ship device.
