In the Certificate management main view, you can see a list of authority

certificates that have been stored in your game deck. Press to see a list of personal certificates, if available.

Digital certificates should be used if you want to connect to an online bank or another site or remote server for actions that involve transferring confidential information, or want to reduce the risk of viruses or other malicious software and be sure of the authenticity of software when downloading and installing software.

The existence of a certificate does not offer any protection by itself; the certificate manager must contain correct, authentic, or trusted certificates for increased security to be available.

Certificate details and authenticity

You can only be sure of the correct identity of a WAP gateway or a server when the signature and the period of validity of a gateway or server certificate have been checked.

You will be notified on the game deck display if the identity of the server or gateway is not authentic, or if you do not have the correct security certificate in your game deck.

To check certificate details, scroll to a certificate, and select Options > Certificate details. When you open certificate details, Certificate management checks the validity of the certificate and one of the following notes may appear:

N-GAGE QD specifications

The Nokia N-Gage QD, launched in 2004, is a unique handheld gaming device that merges mobile phone functionalities with gaming capabilities. As a successor to the original N-Gage, the QD introduced enhancements that aimed to rectify some of the earlier model's limitations while delivering an immersive gaming experience.

One of the standout features of the N-Gage QD is its robust gaming capabilities. It is equipped with a 104 MHz ARM920T processor and 16 MB of RAM, enabling smooth gameplay for various titles. The device supports 3D graphics through OpenGL ES 1.0, allowing for visually engaging gaming experiences. Gamers could enjoy a selection of popular titles, including “Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater”, “Splinter Cell”, and “Vice City 3D”, positioning the N-Gage QD as a legitimate competitor in the mobile gaming space.

The N-Gage QD features a 2.1-inch TFT display with a resolution of 176 x 208 pixels, providing clear visuals for gaming and multimedia. The interface is user-friendly, featuring a D-pad, shortcut keys, and dedicated gaming buttons that allow for easy navigation and control during gameplay. The device also incorporates a unique side-slider design, making it more compact and portable than its predecessor.

Equipped with a dual-band GPRS phone, the N-Gage QD supports voice calls, SMS, and mobile internet browsing, adding to its versatility. Users can share gaming experiences through N-Gage Arena, a dedicated online gaming portal that supports multiplayer gaming and social interaction with other players.

In terms of memory, the N-Gage QD accepts MMC cards, allowing for expandable storage. Players could install new games, save progress, and store multimedia content without worrying about limited onboard memory. The battery life is commendable, with a capacity of 950 mAh, providing hours of gaming or talk time.

The N-Gage QD supports a range of connectivity options, including Bluetooth and USB, enabling users to connect to other devices or access data easily. Its sturdy build and aesthetic design made it a distinctive device in an era where many gaming consoles and mobile phones lacked such cross-functional capabilities.

In conclusion, the Nokia N-Gage QD exemplifies an ambitious attempt to blend mobile telephony with gaming, representing a significant step in the evolution of handheld entertainment devices. While it may not have achieved the commercial success hoped for, its innovative features and design have left a lasting impact on the gaming and mobile phone markets.
