Nokia unveils new $99 N-Gage - console
(hx) 04:16 PM CEST - Apr,14 2004 - Post a comment / read (5)
GameSpot, GameSpy, HomeLAN, GameInformer and 1UP have posted their previews of the Nokia N-Gage QD, the upcoming next version of the portable gaming device. The new model, the N-Gage QD, has been built to address many of the design problems that plagued the original release. Surprisingly, The QD model doesn't have a built-in radio, nor can it play MP3s. Here is an excerpt:
The QD will even sport a longer battery life than the original phone, but these new features do come at a price. Support for MP3 playback and FM radio support have been removed from the QD. Additionally, the N-Gage QD isn't a triband phone like its predecessor, meaning that two versions of the unit will be released to work with the different GSM bands used throughout the world. On the upside, the unit is available at a lower price. When bundled with a service contract, the QD is expected to sell for $99. Without subsidy from a service provider, the phone will go for $199 (with the platform's Tony Hawk title bundled in at that price). Price of the unit remains low, says Usina, due to the higher ARPU (average revenue per unit) the device generates for carriers.

What do they mean "removed support for mp3 playback" ? If the hardware is good enough to handle those games, it should be able to play mp3s (even if it means downloading your own mp3 player software).

The GameInformer article gives you a good idea of the size and gives a slight account of differences between the old and new. As far as MP3 playback, they only removed the software....so you only need to download and install a third party software to play your MP3s.
