Nokia's N-Gage mobile game deck launched earlier this week, priced at between £220 and £230, although a number of retailers are offering special deals, including some which are giving the phone away free.
Where as mobile operator o2 are offering Nokia's new handset for £99.99 with some of their contract tariffs, and other high street retailers promoting reduced prices, The Link have gone a step further by giving the N-Gage away completely free with selected O2 Pay Monthly and Vodafone Pay Monthly tariffs.
At the time of writing online retailer Expansys are also selling the N-Gage for free when connected to their O2 Enliven 24 connection.
Not only does this represent a much more impressive price discount than the likes of O2 are offering directly, but it shows that N-Gage can retail for less than the £230 RRP which generally doesn't appear to have been received too well by many in the games industry, and end users alike.
We expect to see many more retailers offering similar deals on the run up to Christmas, in an effort to boost interest in the new format, and will bring details of the best offers as we find them.
