So now you can play Quake 3 Arena during a class or a lecture or while waiting in an office 😀
Thanks to the tech[dot]blog
Quake 3 Arena has been ported to Nokia S60 3rd Edition and is now available for download for compatible S60 mobile phones. This new version has been designed to include support for external Bluetooth keyboard and mouse keeping in mind the difficulties that you may encounter while playing a multiplayer game online using your mobile phone’s keypad. Another feature includes the ability to start and run a local server from your mobile device for others to connect to.
