"Nokia's Kirsi Kotilainen, head of game developer relations, has 
promised that N-Gage owners won't look so stupid when making regular 
phone calls, as the microphone has been repositioned. He's also said 
that version two will support hot-swapping games cards. The first 
N-Gage required the phone to be powered down and the battery removed. 
Nokia argued that TV-based consoles ask the user to reboot, so why not 
phones? However, this isn't really a sustainable argument any more: 
Nokia's 9200 'brick' smartphone supported hot-swappable MMCs three 
years ago; and rivals such as Sendo's SX1 happily perform the trick. 
Kotailainen also said that the next N-Gage will be backward compatible 
with the earlier version. "
