Nokia on Tuesday invited some phone users to start playing with its delayed new N-Gage gaming service and rebranded its video- and photo-sharing service.The world&#39;s largest handset maker has begun branching out to offer services as a way to bolster profits. The services could help produce a new revenue stream in a mobile-phone market that is quickly shifting volume sales to developing markets, where people tend to spend less on mobile phones.Nokia invited users of its N81 phones to download a prerelease version of the N-Gage application and start buying and using games on their phones. A handful of games and applications are now available to them, said Camilla Pagliaroli, a Nokia spokeswoman.Nokia hopes that the users will offer feedback so that the company can refine the software and begin offering it for more devices. The company expects to add more games in the coming weeks and will add support for more devices as the software evolves, Pagliaroli said.N-Gage originally included a stand-alone handheld gaming device developed by Nokia. But the company discontinued the device, promising to launch a new N-Gage platform late last year that would work on regular Nokia phones. That launch had been delayed until now.This week, Nokia also rebranded Twango, the photo- and video-sharing site aimed at mobile users, to be called Share on Ovi. The service is based on one developed by Twango, a company&#160;Nokia acquired&#160;in July last year.Share on Ovi becomes the first Ovi-branded service, said Pagliaroli. The service is still in beta but anyone can use it, she said.Ovi is a Nokia site designed to be a central spot where phone users can visit to access a variety of mobile services. The site already includes Nokia&#39;s music download service, available in the United Kiingdom; Nokia&#39;s mapping offerings; and N-Gage. Nokia also plans to launch a service there that lets users sync their mobile calendar and contacts information online.The mobile market is closely watching Nokia&#39;s Ovi offerings because the services may compete with those offered by the phone maker&#39;s operator customers. They&#39;ll also compete with those offered by big names in the computer-based Internet world, such as Google and Yahoo. Those companies are increasingly expanding their services for access by mobile customers.

(InfoWorld) - Nokia will release a new version of its N80 multimedia phone next month with beefed-up Internet capabilities. The N80 Internet Edition has integrated VOIP (voice over Internet Protocol) into the user interface, and users can download third-party VOIP calling applications, Nokia said. Also included is a wireless LAN wizard to find and configure wireless Internet access. The Finnish company has also geared the device toward Amazon.com and Yahoo's search engine. The N80 Internet Edition comes with Yahoo's Mobile Search application and its Go for Mobile program, which can sync a user's Yahoo e-mail and contacts with a mobile device. The enhanced N80 has Amazon's MobiPocket Reader, an application for reading books. Nokia cited other multimedia capabilities, such as the ability to upload photos to the Flickr.com photo Web site. The Internet Edition comes with other Nokia software, including its Web browser and a new client called Download that can be used to download other compatible programs for the device, Nokia said. The N80 Internet Edition retains features on the regular N80 phone, such as the 3-megapixel camera and quadband GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) and WCDMA (Wideband Code-Division Multiple Access) coverage. Pricing for the device was not immediately available.
