N-Gage is sure growing at a fast pace. Earlier at the Nokia Games Summit it was announced that 2009 will sure see a whole lot of games on the N-Gage Platform and guess what they already have started to pour in. Making in way it’s the ever loved and most anticipated game of the quarter, EA Sports FIFA 09. The game was officially announced for download by ikona over at the N-Gage Blog and at the moment it is available in the showroom tab of your N-Gage client. The best part is that the game is only 4 Mb which is easy for download on EDGE. Thumbs up to Nokia for making N-Gage OTA downloads which is great as it involves no hassle of a PC of what so ever.

This time round I had a little time to kill, so I decided to take my N96 for a little photo shoot. The pictures were shot using a N95 8GB. The device has been beautifully carved and has a great solid built which I really love. I will do write my thoughts about it in the coming days but the point I want to stress here is that N96 physically is by far one of the best works Nokia has produced. Okay, the E71 wins the top title but N96 is there right after. Having experienced the N95 8GB and N85 (dual sliders with regard to N96) are not as good as N96 when it comes to the build quality. Well, Yes, N96 has its share of flaws as well, but at the moment please enjoy the following pictures and do share your thoughts about them. Please let me know what all you guys want me to cover in the future posts and I will put it up for you. The video will follow shortly so keep a check on that.

India, one of the world’s fastest growing economy is also amongst the top consumer when it comes to wireless communication devices and services. With the second largest population in the world, the market has always been there, but to tap it well is the main key to success which Nokia has proved with their sustained efforts. So this is an open letter to all Companies to learn a lesson form Nokia on how it has taken a huge stride in leadership of the wireless communication devices sector. Well, some points here are for Nokia as well, as there are a few things that we like about the other device manufactures as well 
, so in all a general letter to all.
(Indian has world’s 17.50% population)
So I will do a quick but important rundown of the things we the people here in India are looking for. This post will have its share of Mathematics so keep those pens and papers with you. We have referred the Census Of Indian and Wikipedia for the following data. Now to start the first point that I would like to talk about which I already have is that India has the world’s 17.50 % population, which will roughly be 1.13 billion as of March 2008, which on a growth rate of 1.38% will overtake China real soon. So from here you can imagine the potential Indian Economy holds for you with a whole lot of consumers. So with that said, what does one need to strike big? Well, to know more read on.

First looking at the lighter side of the things today. Nokia India Website Needs an Update. It still has on its Main Page Free N-Gage Title Giveaway Tab. Now, that has been over since 31st Oct. 2008, the details of which I mentioned here. Don’t know why the Web Team has not updated it as yet. But this is totally misleading and the worst part is it takes you to the N-Gage Homepage, although not bad but still no mention of any free title giveaway on that link. Wake Up Nokia India, Stop Fooling People. Anyways it was a bit funny 
, but if Nokia has extended the campaign, then its good. I have yet to get an official word on this, but I did a double check and guess what, the campaign is now closed. So a thumbs down for the official site for providing misleading information. Wonder why haven’t anyone called in their lawyer as yet LOL. We have a few screenshots below. I have written to the web team, lets see if we get a reply on this.

Good News for all North American Nokia Fanatics. It’s a great chance to get your trial Package for Free Voice guided Navigation along with Nokia Maps. I recently go a mail form Nokia which contained information about the Free trial they were offering to their North American consumers. This is something superbly awesome. I had a great experience with the Nokia Maps when I was in the US earlier this year and really like them for they really helped me move around. Only if this offer came then, it would have made my day, but nevertheless I feel its a great opportunity to try them out and see how they fare. The most important part I would love you guys to try is the Pedestrian Mode. Do give me feedback how it goes. At the moment only a few handsets are supported for the trial but I feel more will join in. Happy Navigating ya’ll . But I am still waiting to see Public Transit Facility. Hope Nokia puts that in asap.
I am still waiting for Nokia to expand their coverage in India. But things don’t seem to be working. Recently Google Maps added a whole lot of new Indian towns to its coverage and at the moment it’s the only one that has proved to be of some help for me .
How to get My Free Trial*?
To activate your free navigation trial (E71, N78, and N82):
1. Open Nokia Maps on your device
