" IN AN ATTEMPT to bolster its attack on the gaming sector, Nokia is expected to showcase an improved version of its N-Gage 'gaming deck'.

This improved version, labelled the N-Gage 2 by most observers, will cure two of its main deficiencies.

One much needed modification will be to allow MMC cards - used for storing games - to be inserted and removed without the necessity to disassemble the battery, like now.

The second will be an improved means of using the N-Gage as a regular mobile phone without having to hold it to your head like a Dork. This mod could be as simple as improved support for Bluetooth headsets.

However. Other sources say Nokia will simply relocate the microphone and earpiece so it more closely resembles a mobile phone.

According to our sources, the N-Gage 2 should feature one of the latest Texas Instruments OMAP 2 chips ? either the OMAP2410 or the OMAP2420 ? which incorporate the PowerVR MBX core licensed from Imagination Technologies.

A picture of the N-Gage 2 has appeared here) which implies the N-Gage 2 will have a built in camera as there's a camera menu option clearly visible. µ "
