Rogers has gained the notable distinction of becoming just the first carrier in North America to partner with Nokia to distribute its N-Gage and Maps clients, an unprecedented move that could lead to tighter (dare we say, more Europe-like?) relationships in the future. Bot. products are initially available on the N95 8GB — a phone that Rogers officially offers through its own channels — and will presumably see wider launch as other S60 handsets are brought into the fold. What’s next, Rogers, full-on Ovi support?
[Thanks, James]

Contrary to what Zeemote is implying with its latest release, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen a handset maker embrace (as in, literally hug) its JS1 Bluetooth controller. Nevertheless, the Zeekey application will enable S60 device owners to play N-Gage games and control S60 apps with the aforementioned JS1. We’re told that the program will come pre-loaded on “featured handsets as special gaming bundles,” though it’ll also be available by its lonesome on Nokia’s website. If only you could work up the will to actually buy that JS1, you’d be in business.

N-Raged… see what we did there? Sigh. Anyway, Nokia’s strategy of handset lock-in has its N-Gage subscribers in a fit. Seems somebody didn’t read the EULA and at this time is upset that they must re-purchase N-Gage titles when they switch Nokia handsets. The terms and conditions do state that, “Content shall be… limited to one private installation on one N-Gage compatible Nokia device only.” Forever. Come on Nokia, we’re all for reading, but purchased games should at least be transferrable to newly purchased, substitute Nokia devices. After all, that’s what you claim for music downloaded from your forthcoming Comes with Music service. Don’t turn N-Gage v2 into another sidetalkin’news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7414323.stm fiasco.
