Nokia today released a demo video of the Next Generation graphics (apparently on a par with the PlayStation Portable) available for a new wave of Nokia Symbian smartphones due to start appearing in the first half of 2006. This is effectively the N-Gage 2 that everyone had been waiting for, but instead of being on a single unit it'll be an armada of Next Generation Nokia smartphones. The Next Gen games (details of which will be announced in September) will be part of the "Nokia Mobile Gaming Solution" which will also allow the purchase and download of N-Gage 2 and current N-Gage games onto these new smartphones over the internet, straight onto the phone or via a PC.

Photos of Nseries phones were used to demonstrate the concept, but it's unclear whether the Nseries phones will be part of this Next Gen wave, as they're slated for release in 2005 while Nokia said the Nokia Mobile Gaming Solution phones would only start appearing in the first half of 2006.
