I have lately been receiving a lot of mails that have questions on how to set up N-Gage on their device. So here I am going to show you the exact method, well almost exact, to get started with your N-Gage Client in real quick time. I know a lot of you already have been enjoying the N-Gage feature on your supported devices, but still you guys can read on how to have a maximum gaming experience with N-Gage and how can you keep yourself updated with the latest happenings in the N-Gage world. I would love your feedback on this and if you have any special ways you use then please do share them with me and all the other readers here.

1. The first and the foremost point here is that if you want to experience N-Gage you should have a N-Gage Enabled device, so check here for the supported list of devices and if you don’t have one, then get yourself one cause you don’t know what you are missing and to be on the technical side you know you want one. That’s the reason you are reading this in the first place, so if you are planning on getting one then read step 2. For those who already have a supported device move to step 3.

2. It is very important to choose your device wisely as once you start playing N-Gage on a device then its practically impossible to upgrade to a new one with your previous games and profile. I have been in touch with a few friends on the inside and they would change your device for once but still in any case try to pick a device that you will have for the keeps. At present I suggest getting a Nokia N85. UPDATE: ikona confirmed that the games can be transferred once to a new device via the customer support on N-Gage.

3. Okay, so you have an N-Gage Device and you have been trying a few games but let me get a few things in place for you. Get that N-Gage client updated, In simple terms, your default N-Gage software on your phone should be updated to the latest version if you want to experience some real N-Gage fun. If you prefer, you may also download the N-Gage application directly to your N-Gage compatible device from the N-Gage mobile website. Navigate the web browser on your device to: http://n-gage.mobi/d

4. Now after that upgrade we have a few quick sites to visit. The sole purpose of N-Gage is to unite the Mobile Gaming Community Worldwide and at the same time provide a wholesome Mobile Gaming experience. So get yourself an N-Gage Arena ID. Why? Simple, cause this will enable you to have access to a whole community of N-Gage users and at the same time enable you to share your score online and take part in various tournaments going over at the arena. So before going to the next point make sure you have one.

5. So now you have your device with the latest N-Gage client and your N-Gage Arena ID. So next thing you gotta do is to visit the Showroom tab on you device in your N-Gage client or visit the online showroom to browse through different games that are available. The best part of N-Gage is that it is real easy to download games right from your device so you don’t need the computer for that. Do try that. (Please Note that you would be charged by your service provider for data transfer)
