I'm currently using an N-Gage as my main phone, initially I was a little sceptical, but it's grown on me immensely. In fact, I'd rate it probably 3rd or 4th in my Series 60 device hierarchy. Top of the tree right now is the stonking SendoX, runner up is still the SeX1e beast, and 3rd/4th would be a bare knuckle fight between the Nokia 6600 and the N-Gage. That's a tricky one to call, with the two feature sets appealing in different ways; add a camera and IR to the N-Gage and it'd be a no brainer, as would adding a stereo radio and fixing some of the bugs with the 6600.

Anyway, back to Mars, there I was the other morning sitting on the train, chatting away on IRC with the #mobitopia crowd, whilst reading an e-book, and listening to the radio when the DJ suggested the listeners sent him a text message which he'd forward on to the Beagle2, I was just about to compose an SMS when I realised just how much connectivity and computing power I had in that one little box. Wow! A feeling a bit like the first time I got an internet email address 15 years or so ago.

Now with Nokia are promoting the N-Gage as just a game deck, how much fun can we have with the 7700 which Nokia are promoting as a Mobile Media device? Lots I reckon, expect lots of big "Wow!" moments this summer!
