they are pretty entertainment devices. You can do everything which a normal phone can plus play videos, games, apps etc. If you know how to get things such as free movies/games then its really good.

The N-gage qd was built to sort out the n-gages problems such as the talking method and turning off the device to swap mmc cards. Its a much better version but without an mp3 player/radio which the n-gage does has.
They are quite cheap now and have some good games such as splinter cell chaos theory and pathway to glory with online play.

Its all down to what you want. If you arent bothered about the radio, get the qd!

I havent used the e-mail or the msn thing which you can add so cant really tell you about that

I have a qd and it is very good, purchased a 1gig mmc card, and a bluetooth usb device, I have set it up, so the ngage can connect to the net for free using my broadband connection, this is fast and lets me play online games all for free, with the ngage arena

EDIT: I use opera for my ngage to view proper websites

Does it matter which bluetooth i get its just i didn't want to spend 20 right now after i just spend 85 on the N-Gage. there are so many on ebay for 8 - 10, also they say they work with N-Gage so if they don't i'll just throw it back at them.

N-Gage i brought. 6398752716 stick it in to ebay search. seems good to me.

Has a 128mb card won't this do, just for a while. need to save some more pennies for a 1gb mmc.
Probably get the bluetooth on friday.

well cheaper isnt always better. I bought a cheap card like that and it just played up and is no longer useable.

I got a kingmax 512mb card from ebuyer for a little bit more and it has been very good. But if you wanna try it, buy that for half the price
