I don't they have to worry about Nokia in the handheld arena considering that you have to take apart an N-Gage and remove the battery before switching games.

For starters, the process to remove and change games is simply bad. Sure, it only takes 15 to 30 seconds to remove the back cover, take the battery out, slide the old game out, and slap the new one in once you're used to doing it. But then you have to take into account the fact that the system takes another 30 seconds to start up, and once it's finally all up and running, you have to go into the system's main menu, scroll down to the game's icon, and hit a button to start the actual game. And from there you have to take into account the fact that each game has a bit of loading time. I can just about look past the fact that you have to fieldstrip the N-Gage to change games, but for something that's being billed as the "Nokia N-Gage Game Deck," why isn't there a button right on the face of the unit that launches whatever game is inserted into the card slot? Furthermore, how did someone forget to include this, yet somehow a button for the unit's FM radio is right there alongside a button to launch the unit's audio player?

The PSP, however, should be a major threat to the Game Boy empire.

But you're getting this thread off topic.
