Nokia revealed that its N-Gage gaming service has been delayed until later in the year. “This is because of a delay in software testing,” a Nokia rep told Next-Gen. “It’s been pushed back a few weeks but the website will launch globally before the end of the year.”

The new N-Gage would be a software gaming platform compatible with several of the company’s phones; it was supposed to go online later this month. Quite a few titles are being ported over to the platform by EA, who will be providing portable versions of The Sims 2 and FIFA 08 at launch.
