Because those stupid Nokia ads that are littering this forum are annoying me I've taken it upon myself to make some ads that would much better suit the machine.
Ad number 1
Ad number 2

Read mine and post your own!

LOL. Those are awesome. To bad I'm not that witty to think one out. But I can still host for people who need it!!!

Having actually seen these ads and played the N-Gage, it is very amusing... Nice work Rab.

I tried to play a game on there, and it would choose the program, but not run. I tried this several times before giving up and going to play the GC kiosk. $600?? Man, that would be enough to buy all the games I want to the end of the year, and then some.

Hahahah!
those are cool RAB! And they actualy make sense, since those ads are everywhere here, but unlike the PLAGUE that was the Xbox launch -______-
N-Gage was an alright experience, since the graphics actually ARE good and in 3D (although the only game i played was Tomb Raider, cause Pandemonium on the other N-Gage wouldn't load for some reason - oops! I've discovered a bug in the console/phone/vibrator already! RUN!).
The frame rate was ok, but man, that amount of detail on a small and tall (?) screen is a waste.
Nokia, go back to remaking Snake and Space Impact.
N-Gage is a waste. The interface sucks, navigating the damn thing is confusing and daunting, load times are a thing of the past (for Gamecubers like us

), and you think i'm going to fork out 600 bucks for a MOBILE PHONE, and pay an extra FIFTY for ONE game???
Bloody hell.
600 bucks is as much as an XBox when it came out!
Nokia, hide in shame. Cause shame is all your gonna get.

I'm thinking of emailing these pictures to Nokia, but making fun of multinational corps isn't fun.
Think about this though!
GBA SP=$150 (or something
Decent mobile= $250
Added togethor= $400

Nokia N-gage, a bad gba and abad phone = $600

Now that is just STUPID!

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #5 on:** October 09, 2003, 07:11:40 AM »

Haha! Very professional looking

And the SP is 100 dollars...Just makes Nokia look worse

whoa-ho!

Looks like we'll see more cases of these exploding mobiles now that the N-Gage is released!

I went for a bushwalk yesterday, and I dropped my phone while taking off my jacket......it's a Nokia.......uh oh......

Why is my mobile ticking?

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #11 on:** October 09, 2003, 06:39:40 PM »

BUT N-GAGE IS COOL, DAMMIT.

Matt · « **Reply #12 on:** October 10, 2003, 03:56:25 PM »

At least Nokia is willing to take on Nintendo.

N-Gage seems good. If only it were more phone-like in design.

The full color screen game system, MP3 player, cell phone, and internet device all in one is convenient. Why should I have to carry a GBA, MP3 Player, and cell when I can carry N-Gage and get all of that?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #13 on:** October 10, 2003, 05:24:22 PM »

"It's like they combined a ****ty phone with an even ****tier system"

-Penny Arcade

1) The GBA has much better games...why step backward in quality?
2) You use the phone by putting THE THIN SIDE against your ear...what a great idea! </sarcasm>
3) You have to take out the battery to put in a game...convenient?...I think not

The entire design is so greatly flawed it's not even funny. The guy who said it's better to try, then not try at all never would have come up with such a philosophy if he saw the dungpile that is the N-Gage....

Molobert · « **Reply #14 on:** October 10, 2003, 05:25:00 PM »

Because it's not really an MP3 player, cell phone, and GBA rolled into one - it's more like a crappy version of each. The battery life is about 3 hours, you have to remove the battery to switch games, only Tomb Raider out of all the launch games has scored above a 6 on IGN (it got a 7), and most importantly it's very expensive. It also looks like a taco.

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #15 on:** October 10, 2003, 09:01:27 PM »

where exactly do you INSERT the game?

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #16 on:** October 10, 2003, 10:33:56 PM »

Next to the battery in the back. You have to pull the back cover off and fart around with it. Fun, ey?

it kinda sucks, but its a play on the exploding nokia's

RABicle · « **Reply #18 on:** October 11, 2003, 06:10:59 AM »

Oh and willing to take on Nintendo in the handheld market, is a pretty stupid idea.

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #19 on:** October 11, 2003, 04:08:21 PM »

Who ISN'T trying to take thunder away from Nintendo?
Nokia might not say they are, but dissing the GBA because it is inferior and doesn't appeal to older people *cough*GBA SP!*cough* means that they ARE.

I haven't had time to make my own n-gheyge ads, but thats cause i'm busy with my site.
And some Uni assignments and speechs......-_______-

Bit of a grammar problem in the first one, but overall hilarious. Great job Rabicle.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #21 on:** October 11, 2003, 06:55:40 PM »

The first one, too. "Throwing your dropping your money down". . . but they're still funny.

SuperLink666 · « **Reply #22 on:** October 12, 2003, 05:16:27 AM »

first one is so funny!
