    I just tried to install it on my N82 and when I start the app, I keep getting a “system error”. I’ll try it again later.

    Instructions for the N95: “View your software version number on your device display. If you have version 20.0.015 or higher you are ready to download N-Gage”. Ummm … as a fellow N95-3 owner, I’m hesitant to install it since Nokia does not care enough about us Americans to release that firmware. Are you running into any problems?

    It installed fine on my N95-3, and I was able to pull up the Showroom and all. However, I’m having BIGTIME issues logging in/creating a new account.

    @Raimo – You need to go into the settings and change your preferred access point, then exit the application and log back in for it to save your setting. No doubt this will be fixed quickly.

    As Ricky said, change them, exit, then open the app again. I had the same issue and was screaming tragedy, but it’s working now.

    What a waste of system memory.

    Slow, clunky with minimal games – already uninstalled.

    What the hell is wrong with the access point information? I’ve got it set to use my Devicescape connection as Preferred, and T-Mobile Internet as Alternative (doesn’t actually matter which way round I put them) and when it tries to log in it asks me to choose an access point – either Easy WLAN or T-Mobile Picture Messaging – neither of which of course will ever work.

    I tried setting the correct ones, exiting and going back in, but it still insists on asking me to choose from 2 impossible choices.

    @ The Guru.. If you’re having trouble logging in.. i.e: N-gage freezes.. you need to reboot your phone then it will work correctly.. This happened with My N95-1.. but after rebooting it.. it’s working fine now!

    I’m having all sorts of problems getting N-Gage to work properly. I finally got the access points sorted out and I’m able to log into my account through my device. I was able to download the demo of Creatures of the Deep (fell in love with that game at the LA Mansion event). I tried to purchase it and it keeps giving me an error 36 and crashing. I tried to download another game and I got a message saying corrupted file. That happened a few times in a row — does that mean the file Nokia has for us to download is corrupted? With all of these problems I can’t see N-Gage catching on unless Nokia fixes them FAST. Without all of the information available on the blogs I never would have been able to even get the access point working properly. Your average user isn’t going to take the time to get N-Gage to work properly. N-Gage isn’t ready for prime time yet. Some of the beta labs stuff works a lot better.
