Nokia N-Gage QD

The current champ on the mobile circuit is the Nintendo Game Boy, and the original version of Nokia’s N-Gage did little to shake up the status quo: the offering was largely refused by reviewers and the gaming community.

The new model, dubbed QD, is out to change that. The screen is brighter, the unit is smaller, and there are more games. The QD is also a phone and it can sync your Contact and Calendar info from Outlook. So maybe the boss can be convinced to buy you one.

The QD retails for $249.
