Cheap N-Gages are nowhere to be found, so they must be selling quite a few, at least in Hong Kong.
I must say the Nokia 6600 is quite agreeable. Time to trade in my T68i?

I would have bought it if it weren’t for the language problem. The trouble with the 6600 is, I don’t like the Chinese OS; and unlike a regular multilingual phone where one could set the OS to English and be able to read Chinese messages, an English version of the 6600 would mean one cannot read any Chinese messages. Just can’t have ‘em all. I am waiting for the 6230.

As for the N-Gage, I doubted. HK shops are used to keeping high prices for a long time. I have yet to see anyone with an N-Gage. Plus this doesn’t help my appetite for one either; but our friend GDM is having a howl with the photos in the site he is set out to make some of himself to be submitted to the site.

I have seen the N-Gage being used in public a couple of time. The thing is, the N-Gage is meant to be used either with the earphone cord (which is really nice: play game w/o disturbing anyone, and when the phone rings, just start talking) or the speakerphone. Them sidetalkers are either being a prat or doing some self-mockery.
In any case, I don’t think sidetalking is as funny as keep shifting one’s tiny handset from the ear to the mouth there and back.
As for the 6600’s problem you mentioned, this is kinda unbelieveable. The phone is unusable in such a state.

Actually, neither the side-talking nor the walkie-talkie talking is as silly as the the both handed hands-free talking.
