SURPRISE! SURPRISE! SURPRISE!
Thats what Nokia has to say. Wondering whats the new N-GAGE QD silver is???
Well, heres the answer. This is the new make-up & latest version of N-GAGE QD, which has awesome looks by its new SILVER-BLACK colour. The new colour makes it the most atttractive one.
But, the desing and build remains same. That doesnt matter once you have your eyes on the new one. The old n-gage QD had not-so-good looks and there were rumours that it has only one colour option, this was ok until the quite arrival of the new glorious looks of the new n-gage QD silver-black.
If you havent seen this one then let me describe it, it is full royal black in ther centre(from the arrow keys till the numbers 2, 5, 8, 0) and sizzling silver at its ends. The back side is totally black with a centre logo of N-gage, making it more beautiful.
When I went out with my dad I had no idea about this new piece. I was going to buy the old n-gage QD. I went to few local shops and the said that they would be able to give me the next day. but I wanted to buy on that day itself. So then I went to the NOKIA shop in prabhadevi, near Siddhivinayak. Luckly they had one that day. When is saw the box I realised it was different from the normal one. I told him to open it and WOW, I was totally surprised to see the awesome new look of the n-gage QD. I just didnt waste anytime and told him to pack it. It cost me not much but just Rs.7600/-
I bought it on 8th Dec 2005
The box contains : Game unit(handset), battery, earpiece, travel charger.
the n-gage QD is much brighter than the n-gage and has more refined and pure colour display even if it is 4096 category.
The first thing that surprised me is its awesome battery life. I charged it to its full potential and even after more than normal usage it worked for two complete days without charging. It even worked for more than one hour of usage when the battery showed only one line left Thats something really great. Hats of to NOKIA.
And the phone really rocks with its awesome volume of its sound speaker. You can attract attention of everyone even if there is noise everywhere. The n-gage QD has the loudest spearek amonst all the phones. So go ahead has make your presence felt by everyone.
Another rumour about the phone is that you cannot play mp3 songs. Well, I will say that anyone who says that should be given a punishment. Of course it does not have an mp3 player in-built, but hey you can install softwares(Ultra mp3, mp3player) and dance on with its loud sound.
Another thing is that people think that it is not worth buying the phone bcoz it does not have a camera. But heres ny answer, IT IS OFFICIAL WRITTEN IN THE MANUAL OF THE PHONE THAT YOU CAN HAVE A UNIVERSAL CAMERA(enhancement) for the phone.
Here is the official lists of the enhancements:
