N-Gage users N-Raged by Nokia handset lock-in

N-Raged… see what we did there? Sigh. Anyway, Nokia’s strategy of handset lock-in has its N-Gage subscribers in a fit. Seems somebody didn’t read the EULA and now is upset that they must re-purchase N-Gage titles when they switch Nokia handsets. The terms and conditions do state that, “Content shall be… limited to one private installation on one N-Gage compatible Nokia device only.” Forever. Come on Nokia, we’re all for reading, but purchased games should at least be transferrable to newly purchased, substitute Nokia devices. After all, that’s what you claim for music downloaded from your forthcoming Comes with Music service. Don’t turn N-Gage v2 into another sidetalkin’ fiasco.
