Mobile gamers in Malaysia now have new options for getting their favorite N-Gage games, thanks to an agreement between Nokia and its partners bringing operator billing and in-store sales kiosks to the southeast Asian nation.
The agreements with leading mobile operator Maxis Communications Berhad and i-Serve Technology Sdn Bhd mean that Maxis subscribers will now have the option of operator billing to pay for their N-Gage games, while consumers will be able to instantly download trial or purchase full game licences from i-Serve kiosks nationwide.

This is good news! N-Gage in Malaysia now go 1 step further! But, unfortunately, it’s not for me
i’m using Celcom (Malaysia) Berhad. Hopefully, N-Gage will let Celcom N-Gage gamers to have this option. But before that, please allow me to propose some information.
1. Celcom having Nationwide coverage. Celcom also offer 70% to 85% 3G network in Malaysia. i.e., Sabah, Sarawak & Labuan (Labuan no Maxis 3G for the time being), Maxis 3G network only in a few place less than 15% coverage. 3G mobile internet user are more to Celcom 3G because of good coverage, faster up to 3.5G with 7.2Mbps speed.
2. It would be more better if we can purchase directly from N-Gage apps and download from there or computer (online internet). The charges will shown in our Billing. So, we will pay our bill every month together with the N-Gage games purchased. It’s not really practical if we go out and find the Kiosk to buy the games. Nowdays, everybody doing job, purchasing, paying using online banking. It’s more convenience if we can do online from our home or office.
Appreciate if N-Gage can consider my propose regarding above mention. I’m a big fan of N-Gage game in Malaysia and always promoting N-Gage game to others. Btw, i never delete all my game purchased in my phone and play them always. I have all the game. Purchased online using credit card. But prefer using Operator Billing

Forgot 1 more thing. I also propose purchase N-Gage game through Operator Prepaid Credit deduction if they didn’t use Operator Billing system. I’m sure, more user can purchase N-Gage game as they don’t have Credit Card or not using Operator Billing.
Cheers!

im a user of celcom prepaid Malaysia and i agree wholeheartedly with Avanzato1811 proposition which is for Nokia to enable the purchase of the ngage games via operator prepaid credit deduction as this will enable the whole lot of ngage fans in Malaysia to purchase the games easily, think how much profit Nokia can make from that alone.I think its a pity really for something as great as the Ngage platform and games to be limitated with these setbacks. So many great games to enjoy and yet so many setbacks and difficulties to get them isn’t good for Nokia which is known for its user friendly approach..So please Nokia do consider these suggestions for the sake of all the Ngage fans in Malaysia so that we can really enjoy this oh! such great a thing known as Ngage to the fullest..so that all those broken hearters can finally cure their pain of longing.
