The N-Gage arena was the Online platform from Nokia for the N-Gage. It was online from 2003 to 2010.
Similar to Xbox Live you could buy games, download Updates or so called "Arena Packs" which is the name Nokia choose for DLCs, and play games online with strangers.
Some games like Snakes were exclusive to the N-Gage Arena.

To create an account you had to go on the N-Gage website and create one. N-Gage Arena usernames were linked to the N-Gage Device.
The relationship between the username & the N-gage Device was made the first time you log in with that specific device. The relationship can be broken (unlinked), by unlinking the username from the N-Gage Device via one of the ways listed below. You could unlink your device only once every 24 hours
After a device is unlinked, you can create a new N-Gage Arena username on your device, or login with an existing username (one you already created). After you login in- the new username will be linked to your device for the next 24 hours, after which the device can be unlinked again.
