Sales of 600,000 N-Gage game decks worldwide far exceeded Nokia's expectations. Seeking to further capitalize on its initial success, Nokia attempts to correct the first N-Gage's biggest faults while retaining its best features with the N-Gage QD.

Something New On The Outside...

Size was the main problem with the first N-Gage, which Nokia has improved by designing a less bulky console. While the dimensions of the previous version were 133 x 70 x 20 mm, the QD is no bigger than 118 x 68 x 22 mm. The new device is slightly heavier at 143 g, but this is not a drawback.
