It seems the period of testing is as good as over as the N-Gage First Access trials are ending March 27th according to the official N-Gage blog.
After March 27th, the first access client will no longer have access to the N-Gage network. In that time, the developers will work hard to prepare the service for full commercial launch. Demo’s and purchased games will still fully function as expected. After the commercial launch, licenses will be transferred, but new versions of the mobile games have to be downloaded. Also, the accounts of users will be deleted unless they are the same as on the N-Gage Arena Forums and last but not least, all progress and scores will be deleted to give all N-Gage users the same fresh start.
Also, N-Gage will give all first access users a nice gift for their help. Every user will get a free activation code for the Mile High Pinball mobile game. Next to that, 1.000 community points will be added to the profile of the user.
