Nokia Re-N-Gages
Nokia has just announced the latest addition to their N-Gage series, the N-Gage QD.
The N-Gage QD improves on the original with a number of new features, including a brighter screen, a better user interface and game controls, a hot-swappable multimedia (MMC) slot, better battery life, and new smartphone features.
The new smartphone features include personal information management, email, and an XHTML browser.
In addition, the microphone and speaker in the QD have been reoriented from the original, making for easier handling as a phone.
A new launcher application simplifies connecting the Nokia's mobile network community via the N-Gage Arena, downloading and playing all available titles, as well as taking part in multiplayer gaming via Bluetooth wireless.
Nokia expects pricing to be in the range of $199 at retail, or $99 with a mobile contract. The N-Gage QD game deck is expected to be available in May-June 2004 worldwide.

Except it has no MP3 player capabilities whatsoever. Now that's just plain dumb.
