The N-Gage contains a 104mHz ARM processors and runs version 6.1 of the Symbian mobile
phone operating system. This operating system, including its user interface, is found in a number of
newer mobile phones, which should make the N-Gage interface and menu system more familiar to
anyone who has previously own one of these phones.
The N-Gage implements the Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) language and virtual machine, allowing
it to run cross platform applications and games. Games and applications can either be written in
Java and run using the N-Gage’s Java Virtual Machine or written in C++ and compiled directly for
the N-Gage ARM processor using development tools provided by Nokia.
The main screen of the N-Gage is a 176 x 208 LCD screen, set in a portrait orientation. The screen
is 3.5cm by 4.15 cm. The screen is back-lit, allowing the N-Gage to be used in poor light
conditions. The back light turns itself off automatically to save battery power when the device is not
in use.
The N-Gage system comes with a hands free headset, which acts as both as a pair of headphones
