You need to format the memory card on the N-gage under Tools -> Memory -> Options -> Format. To get started with installing games and apps on the N-gage, make sure to have an MMC-card inserted into the device, and a proper USB-cable to access the unit via your computer. 850 mAh Li-Ion battery (standby up to 200h, talk time up to 4h).2.1 TFT screen with a 176 x 208 pixels resolution, capable of showing 4096 colors.3.4 mb of internal storage, which can be expanded to 1 gb with a MultiMediaCard.The original N-gage has the following specifications: Since I own the original N-gage I focus on that unit in this post, and not the follow up Nokia N-gage QD. In total, 3 million N-gage units were sold. Some of the flaws were fixed in the QD version of N-gage, but it was considered a market failure. One cause of failure was some serious design flaws: the telephone buttons were not suitable for gaming, and to swap cartridges the user had to open the unit, and remove(!) the battery.
The N-gage was Nokia’s attempt to compete with Nintendo’s Gameboy Advance, but failed. The N-gage was released in 2003 and it runs the Series 60 platform on Symbian OS v.6.1.

I recently aquired a Nokia N-gage from Swedish eBay, but it had one problem: it was stuck in a bootloop (also known as white screen of death) due to memory being full. In this post I will write a few tips and tricks about the N-gage, including a guide on how to install games and apps on it.
I used it as my everyday phone for quite some time, and I also installed a variety of games and emulators on it. Despite its flaws, I fell in love with the combination of phone and gaming device. Before I got my first smartphone, the Nokia N-gage was my go-to device.
