As well as the new N-Gage games, can I install other games and applications on an N-Gage-compatible phone?
Yes, lots. All the new N-Gage-compatible phones can also run unofficial N-Gage games which are known as “Symbian S60 3rd Edition” or “S60v3” games. Because N-Gage games are technically just Nokia-branded S60v3 games, other S60v3 games can be regarded as unofficial N-Gage games. S60v3 software can access the phone’s hardware in exactly the same direct way as N-Gage games, so their graphics can be just as good.

As well as N-Gage and S60v3, the phones can also run J2ME Java games, Flash Lite games, and emulated games from classic consoles and computers (see the question below for more details on emulation).
