| it's not just about graphics. mobile games' biggest issues are the poor controls, and the lack of anything worth playing. even 7900gtx-based mobiles wouldn't suddely cure this   |

The biggest issue will be screen/unit size, people will need a phone the size of a small PDA to house a screen (and decent controls) worth playing. The next big thing for mobiles is digital TV, after that the only think left to keep the constant upgrading of mobiles is going to be 'proper' gaming IMO.

| i'd disagree. the playman series of games by mr.goodliving are simply awesome, with controls very well suited to keypads. yeah its not ideal, but it simply takes clever thinking to allow a phone keypad to be used in the right way. that game looks cool, but not *much* better than what i've seen on my 3250 hughlunnon@yahoo.com | I have sigs turned off.. |

| *rant* Clever Nokia, the price of a decent pda phone I guess but none of the funtionality. Just some fancy games to get the kids on an expensive contract or to pay the same price as a PSP for their phone. *endrant* As for controls, why don't the just take the two screen system from the Nintendo DS, would be cool if the phone pad morphed into an 8 way controller when needed! Put it in a flip phone and that would be a nice toy. |

| how can you do anything like that efficiently without a thouch screen? and i would love to see how crap the speed of the processor is, that game had fancy graphics but not much in the way of a physics engine was demonstrated |

| Someone wrote underneath that it has a 3 mega pixel camera with 3 x zoom amongst other things, the price of this will be something mad like 350, with most of them going on contract, will die down within about a month and settle at about 200. The battery life would be total crap if you played games like that on it. I'll stick with my trusty K750i  |

| I keep looking at different games for my phone (C600) but to be honest I don't think I'd ever really play any games on it - and I completely agree with the previous poster - it's because of the controls! Until someone comes up with a better method of control (or a really decent touch-sensitive screen possibly?) then games are a no no for me. |

Touchscreens are great for some uses, but they're not the be-all and end-all of HID. Last edited by Aaron; 30-05-2006 at 09:06 AM.. |
