Getting a new phone means losing every single purchased N-Gage game!

Ngagecanttransfer08Over at Allaboutngage there’s a well-written article indicating something that I personally wasn’t aware of: your N-Gage library is locked to the original handset forever. I always thought that my purchased games would somehow be linked to my N-Gage account, but as it turns out getting a new phone means losing every single purchased game! The article goes on suggesting that Nokia should fix by either doing game activation by consulting Nokia's servers or Linking games to a single N-Gage account, and linking that account to a single phone.  Personally, I won’t be making a single purchase until this is sorted. What do you think? How should the N-Gage system deal with game purchases, activation and transfer?

the best gaming plataform in celular phone is locked...

Open to anything, eh?

In this way, Nokia N-Gage and N-Gage QD are better than a soft plaataform...
