The Nokia N-Gage was Nokia's short-lived attempt at penetrating the handheld video games market. It combined a smartphone with a handheld video game console that accepted "cartridges", which in this case are actually games stored on commodity MultiMediaCards. Two models were made; both failed.

There also exists a third revision called the "N-Gage IC" which was to have some hardware improvements such as an integrated camera, a 123 MHz processor (compared to the 104 MHz CPU on the original and QD) Symbian OS 7.0 running on Series 60 2nd Edition and the return of USB mass storage and hardware-based MP3 decoding from the original model. The IC was shelved due to the platform's tepid reception, but at least one prototype exists in the hands of a German collector.

Sega provided some third-party support during the platform's life.
