Nokia set to test next N-Gage

Nokia keeps pursuing the mobile gaming marketlo
submitted by palmso

The N-Gage Nokia gaming platform never really took off, as foreshadowed on launch day in 2003 (check out the Chief Geek's coverage). Nokia tried again with the Nokia N-Gage QD (see our coverage, but again it just didn't really take off.

In 2005, Nokia apparently admitted the N-Gage was a failure, but it must be someone's pet project because we just received a press release stating that a Finnish company named Elisa will be carrying out intensive tests and evaluations in a live network environment for the next generation N-Gage mobile gaming device.

The project is scheduled to run from February until mid-2007.Can this next N-Gage device succeed in today's market, or should we just let this dog lie?
