Want N-Gage games, but dont have a credit card or Internet ? No problem if you live in India ! Now you can walk up to your local Nokia store and buy yourself an N-Gage voucher.

The vouchers are available in the following denominations :

• Rupees 49 for a 1 day pass
• Rupees 149 for a 7 day pass
• Rupees 299 for a full license

Of course, as usual you can also purchase N-Gage via oxicash online, sms or wap like we mentioned earlier. You can get all the latest N-Gage Titles like Worms World Party, Age of Empires, etc.

To help show off how easy it is to Get N-Gage’d in India, the crews from our very own Mobonoid.com as well as  FoneArena, TheSymbianBlog and ZOMGitsCj.com have all agreed to take part and write us a couple posts on how they got N-Gage’d at their local Nokia Stores. The posts will concern outlets in Chandigarh, Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Bangalore, but the process would basically be the same whereever you live in India, as long as you have a Nokia priority store nearby. We’ll have pictures and all the info you’d need on how to get N-Gage vouchers and get N-Gage’d.

Keep your eyes peeled on this space y’all ! Exciting posts coming up soon !

This is something that I have waited to see happen for months now. About the time when N-Gage launched, at the Mobile World Congress in Feb. 08, I had the opportunity to speak to Nokia employees about how they propose to market N-Gage games and make them available for purchase specially in countries which are not receptive to online credit card purchases.

The reason I was so wanted them to come out with vouchers that could be available at your local Nokia dealership was that I simply couldn’t see many people buying games online, at least here in India. To Nokia’s credit, they already seemed to be aware of that possibility and willing to put such a system in place.

Today, comes news that at least in Indonesia, Nokia has a bus touring the country with staff on board who demonstrate to people how to get the N-Gage client on their phone and download the demos themselves. They also act as a place where people can purchase the games using pre-pay vouchers. Brilliant. The idea is simply, you buy a voucher which has a code on it – that code can be used to activate any game of your choice or even a particular game depending on the voucher you buy.

I have always believed that having such runs around the cities, demos in malls and so on is a much better, effective and cheaper way to not only advertise but also to get the people to actually experience the product.
