Unregistered The Kernel problem has been reported on various forums including ngage support forums.

The response is deafening silence!

krisse Unregistered, do report that kernel 3 error on the official support forums:

http://forums.arena.n-gage.com/nokia...=supportforums

Once you've done that, try reinstalling the N-Gage app.

I think they're still trying to iron out the bugs on the N-Gage application, hence the lack of advertising for the proper launch.

GSi-R The offer is still on folks.!!!! 22-04-2008. They have changed the process slightly. When I first downloaded the N-Gage app, and game lastnight, they were both in sis format, and I was able to install both by bluetooth, but now see below for new requirements to get it working with key.

Go to the link in the first post of this thread. Download the N-Gage app, install it, download the fifa08 game (This time its in zip format), unzip it, it will be saved in Documents>N-Gage, if your using Vista, check your Admin Documents. Now to get it working, you have to install the game using application manager to install the sis file. Sending it by bluetooth will fail. YOU HAVE TO CONNECT YOUR USB CABLE, AND TRANSFER GAME USING APP MANAGER.

Once both of these are installed, enter your phone number into the box on the page, and await text message. Once text message has arrived, click the link in it to download the ashx file, and let it activate the game.

Please note, to get this working you have to install both the N-gage app, and game as mentioned above, then activate the key by following the link in the text.

krisse I successfully used Firefox on the PC too, that seems to be the most reliable method.

jpwbamber Just got a free code for Fifa08 UK at 15.20 on Sunday April 20th.

Got it using Firefox on PC, there were errors, looping!, with MS ExplorerV7 latest and with the builtin browser on the N95.
20-04-2008 10:00 AM
krisse Yup, same here. Yesterday when I tried to get the code through my phone it said the offer was closed, but when I just tried it on my PC browser it worked fine.

You can install the game's demo through your phone as usual, all you need to do on the PC browser is get them to send the game activation link to your phone.

thanks - works fine for me in UK

I did it using my web browser.

something for nothing! wow!

krisse It does seem like these licences are being allocated country-by-country, and the numbers of licences seem totally different for each country.

If you're not sure if it's available in your country, give it a try, there's nothing to lose.

Ratkat I just got it free using Safari on a mac

in the UK there are 20000 copies available as below

"*Offer limited to the first 20000 licences and no further than 30.6.2008"

visit http://play.n-gage.com/home.aspx from your PC Browser and download the n-gage client this will show you a page to download the Fifa 08 installer, download this and you will be shown a page to enter your phone number for a link to retrieve your free licence.

I already had n-gage installed so didn't need to reinstall it, all you need to do is install Fifa 08 then and only then click the licence link sent to your phone.

I disagree with you: this promotion is a time challenge competition where everyone wins, no matter why, who or how. You just have to be one of the 1500 visitors. The guide lines of the promotion are mutual, which is a flaw.
I agree it's not gambling, but some countries' gambling laws are very very very very very badly written. :-)

About five years ago in Greece there was a ban on video games in public places, which was because of badly-written Greek gambling laws:

No money was involved, people were just playing the games in public for fun, but it was illegal.

Second, it's not a local law, but an international or cu least european law that must apply here.
There isn't actually such a thing as EU law, there are just directives which member states are supposed to turn into local law. It's these local laws that we have to obey, and they're sometimes a bit different to each other.

Even if it was EU law, most countries in the world aren't in the EU, so there might still be a problem about local laws.

First, I already got some time ago a similar promotion from handango, no restriction implied.
Maybe, but that's a much smaller company with perhaps less' nervous lawyers!

And there still should be some.
I tried to get FIFA08 about an hour ago and I got a message saying the promotion was over. Maybe other people get other messages though?
19-04-2008 10:00 PM
bery95 Made a mistake, there are 15.000 licenses. And there still should be some.
19-04-2008 09:49 PM
onutz On the other hand, I disagree with you: this promotion is a time challenge competition where everyone wins, no matter why, who or how. You just have to be one of the 1500 visitors. The guide lines of the promotion are mutual, which is a flaw.
