Sometimes things seem obvious to me and sometimes I'm completely unaware of what everyone else thinks is obvious.  Where am I going with this?  All About Symbian (for those unfamiliar, they report about all things Symbian - think Nokia Nseries handsets etc) have posted about the fact you can use the multimedia keys on the N95 as handheld console-like gaming buttons whilst playing games.  I never thought about blogging about my "discovery" of this as I just figured I'd stumbled upon the obvious!

Maybe there's a case for Nokia's N-Gage people to advertise this? Yes, the Nokia N95 DOES have gaming keys

If 'Jumping Through Hoops' were a game on N-Gage - it might be more fun!  Unfortunately it isn't a game, it is in fact the process of getting the gaming application, and the games for it, working on a N95 8GB.

As for the freebie copy of FIFA 08... Well it took many failed attempts on the phone itself to realise it wasn't worth it.  When I finally got to my PC I figured I'd try again, the PC route!  More failed attempts and then finally... I got to the stage where the site confirmed it was sending an SMS to my phone (with the code) and 16-odd hours later... nothing!

If Nokia can't make something like this a simple and seamless process, it's never gonna take off.  That's it, end of story!  Only us early adopters would put ourselves through this - not your regular punter.
