Unlocked N-Series Nokia Phones Get Gaming Gear

Posted by: Sr. Editor Lonny Paul on Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

Cellphone lovers tend to buy more unlocked phones these days because many features are cut out of the phones purchased from carriers including Verizon, and T-Mobile. Reduction in features reduces the cost - and thereby allows them to sell phones for less or provide them at reduced costs when purchased with a service plan.

CompUSA customers have had access to unlocked GSM phones for some time and with unlocked CDMA phones compatible with Verizon and Sprint on the horizon with their new ‘open platform’ approach - the advantages to no contract extension requirement and sometimes many more features - makes them a winner.

People who have purchased unlocked n-Series Nokia cellphones, specifically the models based on the Symbian Series 60 OS, including the N81, N81 8GB, N82, N95 and N95 8GB, were provided a treat today - their phones are completely ready to participate in the new Nokia N-Gage game download service.

According to the TWICE report:

Nokia launched its N-Gage game download service for users of N-series mobile phones around the world, including unlocked N-series “multimedia computer” phones sold in the United States.

Compared to typical downloadable Java games, the N-Gage games deliver “stunning graphics and the capability of true 3-D experiences,” the company said. The games “will be better and able to take advantage of the power these multimedia computers” and are “among the most ambitious graphically rich mobile games ever produced,” the company added.

So, if you are ready to take advantage of these, head on over to http://www.n-gage.com. You can download the games directly over the air or install them on your phone after downloading on a PC. They aren’t free, but they can give you a little more play in your day without the same hokey games often included on your phones. Taking full advantage of the true processing power of these devices, you might be surprised how much fun you can have!

If you haven’t yet taken the leap and are with a GSM cellular service provider (AT&T, T-Mobile), then head on over and check out CompUSA’s selection of Unlocked GSM phones, or signup for new service today! Select unlocked GSM phones are available in all CompUSA.com Retail Stores in the states of Florida, Texas and Puerto Rico.
