Nokia Ships Millionth N-Gage
The oft-criticized (for overhype) Nokia N-Gage is steadily gaining steam as a wireless device and as a gaming platform. This week Nokia announced they had shipped one million of the advanced handsets, including both first and second generation models. Strangely, in October last year, they already claimed 400,000 units sold. At the time, we were skeptical about their ability to hit their estimates of "millions of units sold", but agree now that hitting the million mark is significant. Perhaps to further boost sales, Nokia could have another launch party!
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
