So I bought an N-Gage, what are some good games/emulators?

Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

Namely:

1) Will AT&T still activate this despite it being an older phone?

2) If I just get a free phone with my plan and pop the SIM card into the QD will the AT&T card work in it? It's a former Cingular phone and AT&T bought Cingular so I'm expecting yes but have no experience.

3) Are the older hard to find MMC's it uses swappable with SD cards? I've heard MMC's and SD cards in themselves are compatible with each other minus one or two cosmetic differences.

4) What are some AT&T plans you guys recommend for a perpetually broke GameStop slave?
Well, im the one guy who owns an N-gage besides you, so I guess I have to answer these for you :).
1. AT&T will unlock, and activate your phone
2. I'm not sure about that second question though, I would just take the phone into an AT&T store, and just make them do all the work for you.
3. IDK, I never actually tried to use mmcs or sd cards on my N-gage QD, I figured the tiny screen would kinda defeat the purpose :?
4. I got a pre-paid plan, but it is pretty expensive (something like a quarter to send a text, and 10 cents to receive)

Buy that brick thing you linked to the other day. That thing was fucking awesome.

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.

Ok, so I finally went by AT&T and looked at their plans and this stuff is EXPENSIVE!

$60 for 450 minutes and unlimited text? I don't care if it's national with no roaming or not, that's a fucking crazy amount for a BASE non-data plan.

Did they give you a non-activated SIMM so you can play the N-Gage games?

:lol: No, they're AT&T. They basically gave me a brochure and told me to get the hell out if I wasn't buying.
