The QD, like the original N-Gage, has support for multiplayer Bluetooth gameplay as well as online multiplayer support via the N-Gage Arena service and it's certainly the biggest selling point for the console, giving it an edge over the Game Boy Advance. Unfortunately we were unable to connect with the service while playing the games but that maybe partially because the QD hasn't launched in this country yet.

So, what is our current opinion of the N-Gage QD? It's 10 times better than the original but that's not really saying much. However, with the N-Gage only having around 25 games or so right now compared to hundreds for the Game Boy Advance and with the Sony PSP and Nintendo DS just around the corner with all of their advanced features, it's still going to be a very hard road for Nokia to gain a foothold in the mobile gaming market
