Original research

The devices section seems to be full of a lot of unsourced opinions. Erpert ^{Who is this guy? | Wanna talk about it?} 06:55, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The first Phone/Game hybrid?

I was going to edit in that the N-Gage was the first Phone/Game portable hybrid. But I wanted to be sure that there were no others before it. From my knowledge, there were a couple released several months later, but the N-gage was the first.Leeroyhim (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:56, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming

I think it would look much better to call this article simply "N-Gage", and rename N-Gage (service) to "N-Gage 2.0", which is a common name for it. --KaukoHaapavesi (talk) 22:52, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Shock image origins?

according to rumors on the internet, the layout and face design of the N-Gage is inspired by GOATSE, which one of the engineers did as a joke after having to endure many remakes by directors and such. Do you think its notable enough to add to the main article? 2601:283:8401:4000:E0BF:8505:BDCF:A7D2 (talk) 00:46, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As mentioned in the edit history, the source of this is one Twitter with no verifiable info. Anon Twitter->.... ->Cracked article -> other tech blogs and websites Suredeath (talk) 07:29, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The rumor made it way to Wikipedia and Wikipedia was cited by various forums, reddit, cracked, YouTuber, it's about time it's removed Suredeath (talk) 07:36, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is blatantly based on goatse.cx 2600:1700:211:98D0:7E:D55D:7EFD:14DA (talk) 00:42, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Screen resolution

Does anyone know of any sources that say what the screen resolution of the N-Gage is? If so, it would be useful if it was added. NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 04:31, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

N-Gage (device) → N-Gage – Primary topic over N-Gage (service). Sceeegt (talk) 21:59, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Agreed.—Alalch E. 16:08, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support - pageviews dwarf the service by thousands, easy primary topic. Since the N-Gage QD is still there, dab can be moved to N-Gage (disambiguation), or we can just redirect that to N-Gage as that's where it leads anyways and delete the dab, hatnotes would be better anyways. ASUKITE 17:28, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

QD is redirected to here actually. Used to be an article but not notable enough to stand on its own. So there wouldn't be a disambiguation page needed, only an intro hatnote here pointing to N-Gage (service). Sceeegt (talk) 17:45, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I think I only glanced at it and wasn't quite paying attention! ASUKITE 21:06, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Yeah, I agree. The device is still remembered (if mostly in a negative way) by gamers, the service is not. Device is the primary topic by miles. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:23, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
