After months of delays and agonizing, nail-biting anticipation, Nokia’s N-Gage platform has finally launched, with a handful of games supported on five different Nokia phones.

The official announcement of the platform is due on Monday, but Nokia has gone ahead and flipped the switch before the weekend, in the interest of drumming up some early traffic. The application is compatible with Nokia’s N81, N81 8GB, N82, N95, and N95 8GB phones, and at this time only five games are available, including Brain Challenge, System Rush: Evolution, and World Series of Poker. All games offer free trials, and can be purchased from directly from the computer once the N-Gage account is created on the mobile phone.

More games are listed as “coming soon,” including Worms World Celebration, Sims 2 Pets, and the ever-ubiquitous Tetris. If any of you’ve had a opportunity to install and try out the N-Gage app on your Nokia handsets, let us know your thoughts in the comments. We’re quite curious if it was all worth the wait.
