OHHH OHHH THIS THREAD DOESN"T BELONG HERE OHHH OHHH
J/k Nah I havent bought one and dont think one has been sold in my general area, because EBgames told me they havent moved a single one yet....maybe the fact that we dont have either of the cellular companies that it requires here.

Who's that guy ? 
I have one and it is amazing. It's a small little multimedia machine. It does everything, recording, email, PDA, MP3 player, online gaming, movie player, listen to the radio, cell phone, and has the graphics of a PSOne, and it even has a conversion scale for money incase your dealing with people with a different currency and you'll see alot of especially on these forums. I have the Tony Hawk game and believe me that game is nice especially with the bluetooth technology. I think it 
You crack me up. Asking if the N-Gauge is any good on a Neo board. Look, the rest of the world thinks it sucks (statement based on countless magazine reviews and very poor sales), so I dare say a Neo Geo board is going to hate it even more, as the N-Gauge does not have the types of game Neo Geo gamers are known for liking.
Here's my advice: go buy a GP32 (not that I have a GP32 or even know if the games are good).

It sucks. $300 for a Gameboy Advance+cell phone(basically). I played Super Monkey Ball on it, and I can rest assured that I would much rather play the Gamecube version. The controls on NGage suck...crappy Dpad+lots of square buttons? Please...
And how about the screen? Sure, the resolution's great and everything's crystal clear, but it's SO small and the vertical size makes most games unplayable (Sonic, Pandemonium). It'd be great for shmups but I don't think we'll be seeing any of those.

The screen is crap, the colors in the games are fucked (Puzzle Bobble got RAPED in that regard), the controls are crap, the price is way too high, and you have to take out the god damn battery to put a new game in. 
I honestly can't believe Nokia greenlighted the model they produced. Its easily the most shoddily designed portable system ever. Go out and buy a GBA and/or NGPC instead.

I've played with one of these first hand. The controls are total shit. It's like playing games on a touch tone phone...because you are.
The Games are mostly rehashed Playstation 1 games, on a really, really shitty little screen that's sort of dark and crappy.
the batteries don't last for shit, and it's about twice the size of a GBA.
Basically, nokia tried to take a GBA, and shove a phone into it. What you end up with is neither. The phone system requires an earphone just to be useable, and the controls on the game system are useless.
Also, just so you can't enjoy this system anywhere, you have to remove the batteries and the back casing just to change games. That means pulling the system into three pieces, one of wich is the size of a quarter. Try doing that while you're waiting in line, or sitting on the bus.
And what do I have to pay to be a part of this revolution in terrible design? 300$!!!!! I could buy a GBA, *AND* a nice camera phone, for under 200 (89$ & 90$ respectivly).
I know they gave them to some EB employees. I don't know anyone else who owns this abortion of a product.
oh, and just for the record, there are already some neo-geo ports for it...so I consider this to be on-topic.

Played this thing today in an EB Games. WAY too fucking small. I'd never use it for a phone, I'd be too embarassed holding a taco to my ear.
