Fail Of N-gage and Closure of it
The closure of the N-Gage service is a blow to Nokia´s service ambitions. However it is also fair to say that N-Gage really pre-dated the Ovi strategy. As a result, in both vision and execution, it did not fit fully fit into the Ovi service portfolio, especially after the launch of Ovi Store earlier this year.
Clearly Nokia will look to push its gaming strategy forward under the Ovi Store umbrella, but it is a long way from both dedicated gaming unit (N-Gage first generation) and a gaming focused platform and community (N-Gage second generation). N-Gage was never able to move beyond a niche community. Its ease of distribution advantages has been overtaken by the rise of App Stores; similarly online service elements are now relatively common. Furthermore the lack of graphic acceleration hardware in recent Nokia S60 phones have left N-Gage games looking lacklustre, in eye-candy terms, when compared to the iPhone and other mobile gaming platforms.
Key points
Nokia will no longer publish new games via the N-Gage service. Instead games will be made available via the Ovi Store. Nokia term this an ´evolution of their mobile gaming service´, but there´s no getting away from the fact that represents a failure of the N-Gage service.
N-Gage games can be purchased until September 2010. Other parts of the N-Gage service, including N-Gage Arena, will be availale throughout 2010.
The N-Gage application will continue to ship on some older devices. However new devices will not ship with the N-Gage application.
All current N-Gage will continue to work. The online (Arena) elements will continue to work throughout 2010. However, subsequently, the online elements of N-Gage games will no longer work.
Nokia´s future gaming strategy will be based on Ovi Store distribution.
Nokia are ´actively working on offering more community elements through Ovi´ and will ´encourage developers to use community features in their applications´. This suggests Nokia will, in the future, offer common community / online elements, perhaps based on N-Gage technology, to developers publishing their games through the Ovi Store.
More details and comment shortly.

N-gage 2.0 installer v1.40 with anti-trial patch
1) Installs on all smart for 9.h;
2) Added configuration files for all the smart screen 240h320, nothing anyone does not have to manually put simply install and play;
3) anti-trial patch built-in: patch, which deletes trial logo on games, is built in app, so you don't see trial logo and you still can install new games (when you install N-gage Patch & UnPatch in other build, you can't install new games until you delete TrialPatch).
4) removed other languages, leaving only the English and Russian, and therefore weighs less;
5) Built-in pips components 1.01: for working cr*cked Pro Series Golf. Install pips 1.4 if you don't need PSG.
6) is packed with the choice of where to put - on a map or in memory of the pipe, but for it would have to certify the installation of each component;
7) Install only on hacked phone with installserver'om, signature did not give because of the complexity of the package.
any animatin when you open n-gage, auto install , and you can install at memory phone....
add skin modded....
