N-Gage [edit]

• Nokia N93 is a phone which was distributed, and came out with N-Gage application, but Nokia didn't include that in N93's package. This phone has two modes (landscape and portrait)and also has a keypad format, which made possible to play the N-Gage 2.0. Within this case, many N93 users frequently asked Nokia if they will make an N-Gage version for the N93 and N93i. However Nokia said that they wouldn't be doing this. Some N93 users then modified the N-Gage application so that there would come up a compatible N-Gage version for the phone. This modified application can be found now on the internet.
