"One transfer policy" still in place for N-Gage games
Whoa, boy. Cue the second wave firestorm in 3, 2, 1.... After Nokia responded to outcries from N-Gage users who were infuriated at the idea of not being able to transfer their titles between handsets, all seemed to be well. Now, however, we're finding that there's still a "one transfer policy" in effect, meaning that your games can only be ported from one handset to another one time before your world implodes. It should be noted, though, that a recent report at All About N-Gage asserts that said policy is only temporary, and that Nokia is currently working towards "a more permanent transfer method." Of course, there's no set time line for when we'll see such a thing, and it's not like the N-Gage niche as a whole is growing in leaps and bounds; in other words, you N-Gage fanatics may want to pick a handset and stay content -- you might be relying on it for awhile.[Via All About Symbian]

Wow, I was so ignorant to the fact that N-Gage still existed. I still thought it was the Taco looking handheld from years earlier, but little did I know it was redesigned at least once, and then turned to an online service. Not bad.. not bad at all.
Although it does seem a little lame to only transfer games once between handsets.

N-Gage sucks. No one uses it. Nokia are ashamed to post sales figures for it.
N-Gage will be dead and buried before the end of this decade.

Actually there's lots of game developers coming out with rather good games just currently. Considering that Ngage isn't one phone anymore and more like soft was good decision from nokia. It will not compete with PSP or DS, but with over 100 million S60 phones sold every year there sure is potential.
