personally i believe it just died out.. i mean i still see it in Electronics Boutique and all that, but i dont think they feel the need to advertise for it anymore, i dont think it did too well on t he market anyways.

Yeah, as soon as the NGage was launched it was apparent that it was a disaster. The original system design required that you use a screwdriver to open the thing up and switch games. This was later fixed. But it was always just sort of a flop.

Haha, Segadreamcaster, are you paying for phone service for your QD, or just using it as a Game system? I've never talked to anyone that actually had one.

I just can't see using one as a phone, I mean, just look at the shape of the thing.

Nah, only ever really played Sonic N, thats the only reason I got it to be honest....not bad nothing special

Quite funny actually when I bought it, I said to the guy, "I bet you don't sell many of these" to which he quickly replies, "well actually thats the first one we have ever sold" lol, this was in December last year.....so it had been out long enough...lmao

Haha yeah, it has been out for quite a long time indeed now. Interesting that you have one, from what I understand there were some decent games with decent graphics on it.

yeah to be fair its not bad really....would be a whole lot better if the phone was actually worth having, but sadly not...or at least I don't think so....but yeah its an ok little gadget...not really suprised it never got anywhere though
