Nokia N81 8GB goes on sale with N-Gage game demos
Get an early peek at three all-new N-Gage titles
Nokia has announced that its new N81 8GB music phone is shipping, with an unexpected bonus for mobile gamers.
The handset includes a demo of the all-new N-Gage service, which is due to launch later this year. And better still, the N81 will have playable demos of three new N-Gage games.
Which? Asphalt 3: Street Rules, Space Impact Light, and EA Sports FIFA 07. The latter's a bit strange, as we thought it was FIFA 08 that EA Mobile was bringing to N-Gage.
Anyhow, the N81 is down as one of the first N-Gage capable handsets, so when the new service launches next month, owners of the phone will be able to download the full N-Gage application and get playing.
The N81 8GB is expected to cost around £300 without subsidies. We're trying to lay hands on one now so we can let you know how the demos shape up.
