Get the N-Gage client over the air

You don't need a PC any more

Get the N-Gage client over the air
|

Currently, there are two ways to get the N-Gage application. You can buy a phone with it preloaded, or you can download the app to your PC and then sideload it onto your handset.

Frankly, that second way is a bit fiddly - or at least fiddlier than it needs to be to get millions of people doing it. Thankfully, there's now a third way.

Nokia has launched a dedicated mobile site to download the N-Gage client. You can find it by typing http://n-gage.mobi/d into your mobile browser.

So, if you've got one of the five currently supported handsets - N81, N81 8GB, N82, N95 or N95 8GB - head there now to download the client without a PC in sight.

The client is 6.6MB, so you'll probably want to be on a wi-fi network when downloading it direct to your phone - for both speed and cost reasons.

Props to All About N-Gage for uncovering the site.
