N-Gage's code cracked?

Hackers claim they can play games made for the Nokia deck on other mobile phones.

Nokia's struggling N-Gage suffered another possible setback today, when hackers claimed they have cracked the game deck's code. One British site, Club-Siemens, posted pictures of the N- Gage title SonicN being played on the Siemens SX1, another mobile phone which uses the N-Gage's Symbian OS. Another post on CDfreaks.com, an underground tech-information site, claimed that and the N-Gage's security "has been cracked like an egg," and predicted that soon hacked N-Gage games would be downloadable to many mobile phones with games capability.

Nokia reacted to the news with concern and caution. "We're
aware of it and we're taking it seriously," a spokesperson for the Finnish phone-maker told GameSpot. "Right now we are looking into the claims." He went on to add that Nokia would formally respond later today or tomorrow.

I've always been been mystified by gaming on phones. Wouldn't it make more sense to play computer games on, like, a computer, where you can have, like, good graphics and sound and stuff, rather then pretending it's 1984 and playing Space Invaders?

Guess I'm just jaded and cynical!

That and you could probably by a used laptop for 200 dollars that can do everything the N-Gage can do, but 10 times better.

If I ever get a laptop, I'm loading it with ROMS and making it my portable gaming system.

I just bought a "Third Generation" phone.

Its a Motorola A920, and i dont really have much to say about it. :o

I had much better funs with my Nokia 7250 with its GPRS interweb access. :<

I havent had a chance to play with the new phone much, but it should be fun if i mess with it. :<

7250 is an awesome phone. :D
