I could've sworn I already saw it at local retailers a week or so ago up here in the arctic wastes of Canada, but nonetheless Nokia has announced that the "N-Gage QD", the updated version of their "N-Gage" handheld gaming console/cell-phone you can read more about here, is now officially available for the US market.  You may recall that the QD already launched in Europe a few months back (news).

"Bundled with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and with a street price as low as $99.99 [with rebate], the N-Gage QD game deck offers consumers unparalleled mobile gaming featuring a compact package, new ergonomic design and enhanced gaming features.

Gamers can now purchase the new N-Gage QD game deck nationwide at dedicated game shops like EB Games and GameStop, or online at EBgames.com, Gamestop.com, Walmart.com and Buy.com. More retail outlets are expected to follow. The N-Gage QD game deck can be activated on T-Mobile USA's GSM network and soon on AT&T Wireless' GSM networks."
