cons: nothing's standardized, carriers are impossible to reach, location is
hard to get, GPRS not reliable and terrible latency
pros: packets are cheap, JVM are ok
So, no, I'd say it's too early. Just as it was too early to release this
kind of game except to get experience and to get a reality check on KDDI
before WIN.
Still, we did a pretty successfull marketing event on Paris with Nokia for
the N-Gage launch. Nokia was happy and the users said they had a lot of fun
(it was N-Gage and Paris area). So it's definitely time for sponsored
multiplayer games.

I would blame the carriers much more than the handsets.Which is natural
considered we're 80% focused on the network :)
