Get started
Create a player name
You can download, purchase, and play games without
a player name, but creating one is recommended. A
player name enables you to participate in the N-Gage
community, connect with other players, and share your
gaming achievements, recommendations, and
reviews. You also need a player name to transfer your
profile details and N-Gage points to another device.
When you start the N-Gage application and connect to
the N-Gage service for the first time, you are prompted
to create an N-Gage player name. You can connect to
the network, for example, by setting your availability
by selecting Options > Set Availability > Available
to Play.
If you already have an N-Gage player name, select I
have an account, and enter your user name and
password to log in.
To create a new player name:
1. Select Register New Account.
2. Enter your date of birth, desired player name, and
password. If the player name is already in use, N-
Gage suggests a list of available similar names.
3. To register your player name, enter your details,
read and accept the terms and conditions, and
select Register.
You can also create your player name on the N-Gage
website at www.n-gage.com.
When you have created a player name, edit your
settings and personal information in the private tab in
My profile.
Data transfer charges may apply for player name
creation on your device.

To start playing the game you last played, go to Home,

Track your progress

Play with friends
To connect with N-Gage players on your friends list and
to invite them to a game, select Play With Friends. N-
Gage suggests a friend to play with based on your
previous gaming history and the availability of your N-
Gage friends.
To find a different friend to play with, select Options >
View My Friends.
