Apparently the US will be offering a free upgrade (or downgrade, depends on how you look at it) to the N-gage QD (QD = quality downgrade
). Personaly I 'd rather keep my original N-gage, the reasons: MP3 player and radio (ok, so you might be able to download an MP3 player for the QD but it would be mono and apparently none of the downloadable MP3players are as good as the one that comes as standard on the N-gage), size, yep size, the QD might be a tiny bit smaller but it's also thicker and heavier, the slim is better for the pocket IMO. Also there is no USB for the QD which you could get around by buying a card reader but that's all more money. Not only that, I doubt you'll be able to buy replacement cases for like £3.99 (and good ones at that!) for the QD, I find that a reasurance that I don't need to be concerned about scratching the screen, if ever I do I'll just order a new case from ebay (they even have the Nokia and N-gage branding on the screen and on the back). As for the hotswap, I can see the benefits for people who are always swaping the games around, personaly I stick with one game at a time, if I want more then I install them onto a MMC card
Still, I hope the QD is a success, the more of them that sell, the more likely the games'll keep comming.
I'd give it some real thought before you trade your original N-gage anyway, you never know, you might regret it!
