Nokia has announced the availability of the N-Gage application for two more handsets: the N96 and the 5320 XpressMusic.

The N96 is the more exciting of the two: it's one of the most powerful Nseries phones yet, and here in the UK, it's also just been announced that it'll support the BBC's iPlayer catch-up TV service.

Meanwhile, the 5320 is a music-focused handset, and the first outside the Nseries range to get N-Gage, as announced earlier this year. That's an important step in pushing the platform out to more users.

Nokia's N-Gage Blog broke the news, and has download links for both handsets to get your hands on the N-Gage client.

We mention this every time we write a 'new N-Gage handsets' story, but the client still isn't available for the N73 and N93/N93i handsets – despite these being two of the first announced N-Gage phones.

Will they be skipped over entirely in favour of newer models? Hopefully not, but watch this space for further information.
