Russ Beattie, bless his little cotton socks, wants the world to text him now that the USA can recieve international SMS. Go on, it’s worth it – in a geek shall inherit the Earth sort of way.

Engaging the User
No this isn’t the long sought after DIY fix for making the MMC in the N-Gage hot swapable, it’s a few ideas that could improve the value for money on the Game Cards. Let’s face it, with an RRP approaching £35, it’s a lot of money to spend on a game – and yes it is a comparable price point to other Gaming Systems, but why not go a few more steps and make them more than a game.

Busy Few Days On OPL
