It’s been a long year, 12 months of announcements, releases, events, new devices and firmwares, new applications and services. Any company, no matter how bad or good it handles its business, makes some terrible blunders during a year. So here are what, in our opinion, remain the top 5 blunders that Nokia made in 2009 [...]
Yesterday I caught a great post from Ewan Spence about the second failing of N-Gage, and what it really means to Nokia’s whole services strategy. Ewan was able to look at the bigger picture and see that N-Gage has (twice) suffered a similar fate to other Nokia services, and it’s something that Nokia really needs [...]
When N-Gage first was released it came in the form of an exclusive handset the N-Gage Classic (aka Taco). Shortly after they released a quickfix in the form of the N-Gage QD. Unfortunately, this initial N-Gage launch was a well-documented failure, so Nokia put a lid on it for a few years, and then tried [...]
Following the news about a sequel of Dirk Dagger, there weren’t too many N-gage games that wet my appetite or that I had heard of which seemed exciting. However, while I have not been chasing for new games (as I haven’t finished the Nuclear Zeppelin yet), N-gage didn’t stop spitting out new games, many of [...]
As we told in in our last post about Dirk Dagger, we crossed our fingers that the new game would be out this weekend. Guess what? The wish was granted. In this game you won’t find any advanced 3D graphics, which also is not the intent of this game. It follows the same animation style [...]
We mentioned it briefly here on Symbian-Guru when we talked about some of the upcoming games for N-Gage. Well, time has passed since then, and Ducati Moto has been out for a while which, according to Ovigaming, is rubbish. The upcoming game for the N-Gage platform looks more promising though. Here we go again, following [...]
For those of you who followed our coverage of the Nokia World 2009 you probably have noticed that there was no mention of N-Gage at all. Despite that, there has been development going on for N-Gage, specifically with some new games. Dirk Dagger is coming up with a sequel named Dirk Dagger and the Nuclear [...]
With the recent announcement of Tomb Raider and the sneakpeak of the upcoming Ducati Moto, there’s once again a new game released for N-Gage. This time it is the Guitar Hero, World Tour that rocks into N-Gage. If you have the latest N-Gage version you can now benefit from automatic installation. I was therefore unable [...]
It’s almost 2 years since Nokia first shed light on its Ovi services strategy, and over these 2 years, we’ve seen the different pieces of the puzzle launch individually then start to get together under one roof. Numerous improvements have been carried in the way these services joined under a single Nokia/Ovi account, and how [...]
