(1)What's the difference between the N-Gage and QD?
In order to know their differences, let's compare their specs:

Original N-Gage
- Triband (900/1800/1900)
- 4096 colourscreen
- Stereo (comes with stereo headset)
- Comes with a USB cable, recording cable and adaptor cable (for recording radio/MP3 purposes)
- Built in MP3 player and radio
- side-talking
- Must turn off the phone, remove the battery cover AND battery in order to remove MMC
- 5-way direction pad (CENTER for menu selection)
- Comes with BL-5C battery
- MP3, AAC, MIDI or WAV ringtones
- Great RF

N-Gage QD
- Dualband (850/1900 or 900/1800)
- 4096 colourscreen (brighter than Original N-Gage)
- Mono (comes with dual mono headset)
- Doesn't come with ANY cables
- NO built in MP3 player or radio (will still be able to listen to mp3's thru 3rd party apps)
- NO side-talking
- Hot-swop, easy removal of MMC
- 4-way direction pad with a separate "menu selection" key
- Comes with BL-6C battery
- MIDI or WAV ringtones
- Great RF (better than Original N-Gage if 850 is being used)

(2) Which N-Gage is better?
It's really hard to say because everyone has their own opinions. But if you are looking function-wise the original N-Gage wins out with the stereo support, MP3 ringtones, radio, tri-band and additional cables/recording functions. But the QD counters with its 850 (for those 850 gurus), smaller-size, no side-talking, BL-6C battery(for extra battery life)and the easy removal of MMC.

(3) Can my (input s60 phone here) play N-Gage games? Where/How can I find cracked N-Gage games for my (input s60 phone here)?
Yes your s60 phone can play N-Gage games. How and where? according to forum rules, I am not allow to tell. Sorry.

(4) How do I check firmware and IMEI on my N-Gage/QD?
Press *#0000# on the main screen for firmware, and *#06# for IMEI.

(5) How do I change my operator logo for my N-Gage/QD?
Download SeleQ or FExplorer from mysymbian.com, access the image thru either of the apps and select "Set as Operator Logo". If that doesn't work, SMS yourself or download an older format logo (black and white), and then save that logo. After that, you should be able to change your operator logo thru SeleQ or FExplorer.

(6) How do I change my wallpaper on my N-Gage/QD?
1) Press the application key
2) Scroll to the "Tools" folder and open it
3) Scroll to "Settings" and open it
4) Select "Phone/Device" (whichever your phone may say)
5) Select "Standby Mode"
6) Select "Background Image"
7) Select "Yes"
Smile Select either "Phone Memory" or your MMC card depending on where the image is saved
9) Select the image
10) Go back to your main screen of the phone

How to connect your N-Gage to your PC

Step 1.
Before you do anything. Place your MMC into your phone and format it.

Step 2.
Place the N-Gage disc (that comes with the phone) into your cd rom.

If youve got XP: Connect your N-Gage to your pc with the USB cable. Leave windows to find all the necessary drivers automatically. Your MMC in your N-Gage will now be recognised as a removeable drive in 'My Computer'.

If you havent got XP: Do the same as above. If nothing happens, run the program on the N-Gage disc and install any drivers you find.

If any of the above does not work click Here

Step 3.
Once the MMC is recognised by your PC, simply drag and drop any files you want onto the MMC (removeable drive).

Step 4.
Download FExplorer from HERE and place the file on your MMC.
Once on the MMC go to your menu then Tools --> Manager --> FExplorer --> Options --> Install

Follow all the on screen intructions. This has installed a file browser for you N-Gage. You can now access all the files on your N-Gage and MMC which 'Manager' can't see (like Java games).

Some usefull n-gage tips:

1. You cant use the USB cable unless a MMC is inserted into the N-Gage.

2. You can only use Multimedia Cards in the N-Gage. SD cards DO NOT work.

3. If you brought your N-Gage in the UK there is no need to purchase a MMC, as one is provided with the phone (Nokia Game Card is also a MMC).

4. You can find free games and applications at www.my-symbian.com

5. All the apps and games available for the 3650/7650 will work on your N-Gage (except those associated with a camera).

6. For full specifications of the phone click Here.

7. The N-Gage doesnt have a camera and most likely never will. If it did it would connect via the USB port or bluetooth.

8. The N-Gage does have removeable fascias, but doesnt appear to be promoted by Nokia. Third party fascias only.

9. PC Suite is only used to backup/restore your calendar and contacts files. It is therefore unecessary to purchase a blutetooth adapter and install PC Suite unless intended for that purpose.

10. You must fully charge your phone before using it to allow maximum capacity.

11. You can use MMC that are larger than 128mb. A 512mb card has been tried and tested by numerous members and all have praised it. Search the forum for more info.
