N-Gage Arena Launcher Version 2.5 Discussion Can't Post

Nokia announced that it has released a new version of the N-Gage Arena launcher for the over 400,000 valued N-Gage Arena members. The new version 2.5 includes new features and functionality, as well as updates to the existing services. N-Gage Arena members can now download a free copy of the new launcher at http://arena.n-gage.com/launcher.

The N-Gage Arena launcher, the gateway in the N-Gage phones to the N-Gage Arena, has been revamped to offer even better community and connectivity features to N-Gage owners. New features include Public Group Chat, Friend Rankings, Login Message and Filtered Content. Now users can participate in group chat sessions from within the launcher. Chat rooms are available 24/7 and open to all N-Gage Arena members. Users may now view new rankings tables that allow them to compare their own rankings against members on their Friends list playing the same game. The login message feature allows for a special message to be broadcast in the launcher start up sequence to ensure users are aware of important news. Also, content can now be filtered to specific users based on their operator, country or currently loaded game.

The initial offering of the new launcher software for N-Gage QD devices is in English only. Additional versions in twenty-one additional languages, along with software for the N-Gage game deck, will be rolled out later this year.

Thx for the Arena info.
The Arena Launcher is a good idea. However, it's alittle too late for it to be able to save the N-Gage. This shoulda been out years ago. Nokia is just wasting their time and money. If Nokia still wants to compete in the handheld market, it should just start from scratch all over again.

The bottom line is: a) the N-Gage costs too much
b) its phone service is lousy and expensive
c) and it was never really good gaming system to begin with

BTY, you can get the N-Gage without purchasing the phone service. However, you would be missing out on the All-In-One deal. I believe that the N-gage failed, not only because it provided too little too late. But also because you look like an idiot when you talk on the phone.

If you think the N-gage failed, you haven't looked up the massive failure of the Ngage QD, the supposedly smaller and more popular version.
