Nokia has launched N-Gage Academy, an on-line campaign designed to teach mobile phone users how to download and share games. The campaign enables owners of Nokia phones to order a fun mini-game free of charge, and share it via Bluetooth with another compatible Nokia device.

Gerard Wiener, Vice President of Nokia Games Business Program, said, "The N-Gage Academy located only at N-Gage.com is our way of showing how easy it is to download games onto your Nokia mobile phone." Wiener continued, "Gamers can also send the mini-game to their friends by Bluetooth. The N-Gage Academy campaign shows everyone that mobile gaming is fun and that everyone can play. This is also something we want to do with our next generation of mobile gaming on Nokia smartphones - with fantastic gaming quality!"

Visitors of the N-Gage Academy can simply send a mini-game to another compatible Nokia mobile phone, either by WAP/GPRS or by downloading the ZIP file to a PC for later transfer via Bluetooth or MMC.
