@ AC – I do use the phone for calls As contacts is always a main shortcut on the screen, either one of the soft option keys or normally I leave it in its default position as first option on Active Standby, the actual contacts icon in the menu becomes surplus to requirements.

Krisse, I have in fact already downloaded that very game onto my N82. I’ve managed to drop anchor and cast my reel… But nothing happens!

My favourite N-Gage game so far is Mile-High Pinball, but even that can’t hold a candle to the NES version of Dr. Mario that I run on my E61i, or even Frozen Bubble.

I realize that all of this is highly subjective, of course — if you have any Creatures of the Deep hints feel free to send ‘em my way…

I can hide it in the junk folder with other useless icons such as that for contacts, calendar, notes…

So Jay3GSM, I guess you don’t use your Nokia for phone calls then…?

There’s only one good reason, as far as I can see, for installing the full NGage app on my N82, and that is to remove the silly NGage icon from the main menu. With the full app installed the icon moves to the applications menu, which means I can hide it in the junk folder with other useless icons such as that for contacts, calendar, notes, about and help! Once I’ve managed to move the icon from the main menu I can uninstall the app.

“Do you have any idea what’s going on here? Because I sure as hell don’t!”

Yes, you just shoot everything in sight!

If you want something more relaxed and clear, try the absolutely sublime Creatures Of The Deep. It’s a very nicely-paced fishing simulator with an astoundingly huge game world, something suitable for casual gamers and more involved players alike. And it does a very good job showing off the graphics of the new platform too.

Thanks, Rick! Two sites you may be interested in: 1. Ping.fm enables you to multicast to Twitter and other microblogs like Jaiku and Pownce. 2. My report on Opera Mini, which hopefully won't violate the ToS of your unlimited web browsing on Rogers...

Loving the updates.

And loving the fact that (a) you’re up on the twitter updates, and (b) I have a mobile that can access your blog.
