IS 7010 students who have read the Nokia case in our textbook might chuckle a bit at this news: Nokia has resurrected 2003’s N-GAGE mobile phone/video game console.
The first new model for the US market is the Nokia N81, a WiFi 3G GSM handset that ships with 8 GB of RAM and retails for US$639.
Mistake number one: users must pay a one-time US$10 fee to activate the built-in games on this phone. Hard to believe that Nokia couldn’t provide a free game on a handset that is more expensive than an iPhone.
At least the N81 does not look like a taco.
