N-Gage Game Titles Are Locked To Users Phones!

Love it or hate it, Nokia’s N-Gage platform is still around, though what after effects this news regarding N-Gage games will have is still unknown.

Nokia have confirmed, that when users upgrade to a new phone, they will NOT be able to transfer any games from their previous phones to their new ones. This is due to their methods of combating piracy. Since the game activation code is linked to the phone’s IMEI number, the same activation code will not be able to be used on a new phone.

It gets worse. Nokia’s customer care department says that they can only transfer games if a phone is replaced at a repair centre under the terms of its guarantee. Translated? Nokia will not transfer games if your phone happens to get spoilt outside of the guarantee period, and needs to be replaced.

Though its fair for Nokia to have interest to protect their games and profits, its really unfair to end users who have their games tied to their phones and want to upgrade, especially since the people who will feel the pinch there most at the people who are most loyal. The more games you get, the more it will hurt.

Nokia-C1-RumorNow here is an interesting leaked render of what is allegedly known as the Nokia C1, which is supposed to be the next smartphone which will feature the Nokia logo – never mind the fact that the Finnish company had already sold its smartphone business to Microsoft some time back. Well, the most interesting aspect about this leaked render would be the fact that it sports an Android operating system on the foreground, while another model hiding behind it looks as though it runs on Windows 10 Mobile.

Does this mean that we will have to face not one, but two variants of the same device? Only time will be able to tell, but for the moment, it will be an agonizing wait until 2016 as that is when the alleged Nokia C1 smartphone will launch then.

Android 5.0 Lollipop On A Nokia 1100?

Published

google-lollipopA quick look at the calendar shows that we are still in March – early March, in fact, and April is still some ways of. Still, this has not stopped the fact that an alleged leak of a Nokia 1100 has been benchmarked, and in that particular benchmark, it revealed that the Nokia 1100 would sport Android 5.0 Lollipop as the mobile operating system version of choice – how cool would that be if it were to be true?

Other hardware specifications in the alleged leaked benchmark sheet point to a quad-core MT6582 processor which has been clocked at 1.3GHz, a 720p resolution display, and most probably 512MB RAM. We would take this bit of information with more than just a pinch of salt – perhaps and entire tablespoonful.
