The only problem I had was with the RAM. Plus, this phone doesn't have that powervr something that most highend phones have. my bet: N-Gage CAN be run on the 5800, but not officially supported. Anyone forgetting the wireless keyboard? :) I’ve been playing N-Gage games on my N73 a few months ago. The only problem I had was with the RAM.

Since the 5800 has such a large screen its processor has to cope with alot more to run at the screens full resolution. Although it seems unhopeful, my guess is that nokia will release ngage support for the 5800. However i would expect that they will reduce the screen resolution by using part of the screen for games controls. Much alike the 5800's java console, this would allow for both controlling and a higher game refresh rate on the reduced screen.

At the moment, all games I've played (though only 7) none are touch based. Even bounce - which was touch on the 5800! Maybe until they sort this out, they cannot support the 5800 as it lacks hardware keys. Cheers. Hey Devin,
