The N-Gage has bluetooth, right? I think you should be able to iSync using bluetooth. If not, another thing to add in the long list of Nokia mistakes with the device.

Hahaha I was going to post "You actually bought one of those things?!" but I see you got it for free.

Although- I would still try and sell it on ebay and see if you can get a GBA with the $$ you get

hmm well my phone contacts linked to it now, I have 15 days to cancel if I want to though.

I havent tried any games yet nor do I really care too much about them, I saw tomb raider in a display at a phone store and it looked rather impressive, exactly the same as the ps version.

The MP3 player works really well - its not an ipod though, but then the ipod is bigger heavier and dosent play games, make phone calls or send txts and emails. Plus I'd have to pay tons for one and then still have to get a phone of some kind to go in my oh so crowded pockets.

Apart from this one problem so far its worked like a charm, although I have only had it two days.

I dont have bluetooth nor do I particularly want to shell out £40 so I can have a blue rectange sticking out of the back of my super swish powerbook.

Surely it cant be that hard for apple to get isync to sync with it in usb mode... i'm guessing it's isyncs problem rather than the n gage (correct me if i'm wrong).

Also how much easier would it be if apple offered 3rd party mp3 player support in itunes. I know the aac format is a problem, but if itunes is a slick as apple likes to believe it should do an on the fly conversion as you transfer songs to a third party player....

but then i guess that wouldnt help to sell ipods would it.

The ngage will sync to a Mac, but only via bluetooth.

Amorya
What the nerd community most often fail to realize is that all features aren't equal. A well implemented and well integrated feature in a convenient interface is worth way more than the same feature implemented crappy, or accessed through a annoying interface.
