After delays, Nokia has begun to roll-out its N-Gage gaming service and its media sharing site.
The company twice delayed N-Gage's launch last year due to unexpected software difficulties.
The service has now been opened to owners of Nokia's N81 multimediaphones around the world, with the company asking for feedback beforeopening the service to a wider audience.
"These are the first steps on the long journey towards becoming acompetitor in the Web 2.0 services space," CCS Insight researchdirector Ben Wood told The Washington Post.
"It now faces the challenge of building awareness for these andother services with consumers who have already gravitated towardsestablished web brands such as Google."
Nokia released the original N-Gage, a combination phone, handheldgaming device, MP3 player, PDA, and FM radio, in 2003. A year later, asubsequent redesign - the N-Gage QD - removed radio reception and MP3playback features.
The latest iteration of the N-Gage is an application, built into ordownloaded to a supported Nokia phone, that acts as a central hub forcontent including games.
Nokia's social networking site - "Share on Ovi" - allows people toshare photos and videos and is built on technology acquired last yearwith the US firm Twango.
