Nokia New Game Service

Nokia New Game Service.

Nokia, the world's largest cell phone maker, on Monday launched a mobile games service that enables customers to buy and download games to their handsets.

N-Gage, which is limited to handsets in Nokia's N81 and N95 series, will let users try out the games before paying for them. Some 30 games are available for $9 to $16 each. The number will increase to 60 during 2008, Nokia said.

Nokia delayed launching the new service, and its earlier N-Gage games failed to attract customers, but the Espoo,Finland-based company said it was encouraged by feedback from "thousands" of people in more than 100 countries who took part in an eight-week pilot.

Nokia, which sold nearly 440 million handsets - 40 percent of all cell phones sold worldwide - employs 112,000 people worldwide.
