thank God for the emulators

QD yes, original no.

o.o The graphics don't outperform the DS, but it's always a good thing to experience what a system has to offer (and in the N-Gage's case, that's surprisingly a lot).

Definetly the QD, not the classic though.

I think the original is a great phone. You can crack and put the games on one MMC card so you don't have to power down and switch games often.

You can buy a QD battery and use that for the original. Just have to sand down the tab on it with a nail file so the cover will close over it.

You can fashion a hole through the top left corner of the N-gage original battery cover so you can put your ear to the back of the unit rather than turning it on it's side.

And having that FM radio to listen to while I play games is GREAT!!!!!

Ok, the Nintendo DS can certainly do some good graphics, but the N-gage can certainly do graphics that compete.

N-gage = 32 bit.

DS= 96 bit...

Bits never matter a bit (a bit?? HAAHAA!!! Get it??).

And you can't measure the N-gage is terms of bits. The Sega Saturn is also 32-bit, but have you ever seen Panzer Dragoon Zwei? Or Radiant Silvergun? I mean c'mon! RADIANT SILVERGUN?? That game looks like a playstation 2 game! If you had showed me Radiant Silvergun as my first glimpse at Sega Saturn, I would have told everyone the Saturn was 64-bit.

The N-gage game developers have created advanced gaming engines that make the N-gage achieve things that go beyond 32-bit. Take a look at System Rush for N-gage. The N-gage IS a NINTENDO DS!

True that. The N-gage and Nintendo DS even share some of the same game titles. They both have Asphalt Urban GT. And pretty much the same Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, which was on N-gage first, mind you. N-gage's version is just a smidgen slower, but still pulls it off beautifully.
