Nokia's E3 website this year 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, the games will be sold entirely as downloads direct to phone or via your PC, 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 on Thursday 22nd of September.
