In our latest interview with Dr. Mark Ollila, we asked him if there where any plans on supporting the good old N73. Sadly enough, he did not give us a yes or a no when it came to this subject.
Now however, there is enough reason to believe that support for the N73 (one of the most sold smartphones in the world) will never be added as a spokesman for the top cellphone maker said on Monday to Reuters.
As if this is not enough, All About Symbian revealed the same some weeks ago, and also picked up that the N93 and N93i won’t be supported by the N-Gage platform as well. This information came from a Nokia forum operator on the N-Gage forums.
The lack of N-Gage support of the three models has caused a lot of controversy around the internet since they where released. Though some gamers managed to get the N-Gage beta client working on the N73, Nokia never held its promise of delivering the final client to it.
