Nokia primes pump for N-Gage | CNET News.com

Retailers will begin taking advance orders this weekend for Nokia’s new N-Gage, the first of several new portable video game machines that are designed to appeal to older consumers.

The N-Gage is scheduled to go on sale Oct. 7, priced at $299. Nokia announced Friday that specialty retailers GameStop and Electronics Boutique will begin taking advance orders in stores and online starting Saturday.

The N-Gage, actually a mobile playstation, which functions as a cell phone, will have a high-resolution screen, Bluetooth local networking connectivity and an MP3 player built in.

But don’t confuse it with Sony’s PSP – Playstation Portable
