General Comments

I had a difficult decision to make, the Nokia 7259i or the Nokia N-Gage - ive read tons of reviews on each half and considered the N-gage to be the mobile phone for me, built in mp3 (with loudspeaker!) built in radio, internet browser and the games/sound are great.

The radio quality is great for me, but i'd like the keypad noises to be abit louder.. and as far as im concerned the way you hold the phone to talk into doesnt bother me, its small so no-one could notice, however i got a handsfree kit with it so you can avoid it if nesasary.

Texting is easy and smooth, replying/sending texts is so much easier than my previous phone (Samsung A800) and the N-gage price is pretty low Virgin supplied mine for £160 on pay as you go.. they gave me £25 credit too, so i was very glad that i could re-join virgin!

Battery life is pretty good, approx 6 days standby i think, and for a gamedeck i think its great, however this is still a phone, and as a phone i think it is top of the mobile league! the reception on the phone is great making calls is easy and swift.

The bad points arnt really that bad i suppose, the first time i got my N-Gage i kept pressing the wrong buttons and such, but if someone calls when your in the middle of a text, when the call is over your text is still there. The standard 32mb memory card wasnt a good thing, although memory cards are cheap 128mb £34, and 1gb £399, so there is a choice in memory cards from 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1gb.

To sum things up i made the right decision to get the N-gage, its perfect for me, wide variaty of ring tones and tons of things to do, download games and such, i love it!

P.S i also found it hard to locate that small on/off button!
