The Sony Ericsson F305 is Sony Ericsson’s first Motion Gaming-enabled phone. Or well, no, that’s actually not true, but it’s the first to go by that name in particular. It’s a quad-band GSM phone with support for EDGE network speeds.This low/mid-level phone sports some rather cool gaming features. The three pre-loaded games - Bowling, Bass fishing & Jockey - will enable you to use movements to play the game.Simply imitate the movement of the bowling ball throw with the F305, and you’ll be playing the game. Simple, isn’t it? It’s a bit like the concept behind Nintendo Wii, although I find it hard to believe this will work just as great as the Wii does. Other than the special gaming features, the F305 offers a set of PlayStation-like gaming keys just above the display, as well as a shortcut key to your games. Due to you’re in the middle of a game, the battery easy running low.(AP price:RM390)
The Nokia N-Gage brings the start of a whole new gaming experience to the market, with an ergonomic design optimized for playing games. Rich mobile games, combined with connected near distance multiplayer gaming over Bluetooth and wide area gaming using cellular networks, opens the door for totally new gaming concepts. Mobility will add a whole new dimension to innovative and creative games concepts and will provide opportunities for the games and telecom industry alike.

But now, the new generation N-Gage isn't a console or a single device. It's a gaming platform which is now available on an ever-expanding range of Nokia smartphones. Owners of compatible phones can buy or try the new N-Gage games, which are sold entirely as downloads. Games can be bought and downloaded straight onto the phone through the mobile phone network or wi-fi if you're on the move. Alternatively, if you're at home you can download the games onto your PC and then transfer them to the phone.

Which is better?
