Nokia N-Gage Cracked
According to Mr. Belvedere over at CD Freaks, the Nokia N-Gage has been cracked. From the article: "The games that were designed for the N-Gage will of course only work with the Nokia device but not anymore. Now that the security on the N-Gage has been cracked the games can be played on other mobile phones as well such as the Siemens SX1." The article notes that Sonic N is the only game seen in public yet, but others are sure to follow soon. It'll be interesting to see how Nokia handles this.
It's still under warrantly, so you can get the screen fixed. Just be more careful next time, and don't drop it.
Sweet! Cause I bet those games are worth playing on other phones!
I'm not just side talkin', I'm also Side HACKING!
In the future, I would want to not be isolated from my friends in the Space Station.
they might sell THREE games now thanks to this.

I assume it will be with lawyers?
You bought an N-Gage, didn't you?

Nokia will today be licking its wounds and doing a fair amount of worrying, with the revelation that the N-Gage's security has been cracked like an egg
"In other news, all of us here at CD Freaks have ten-inch penises and can eat shattered glass without feeling pain. Boo-ya!"
Just hit A - B - A - A - A - C - Select and it gives you a "send ROM as e-mail" prompt!
Sweet!
"Live Free or Die." Don't like it? Then keep out of the USA
The N-Gage fails as a video game platform (take the battery out to switch games!?) and as a cell phone. If you wonder why it fails as a cell phone, well, you have to sidetalk.
I couldn't agree more. As I'm driving to work, reading your post on my conveniently web-enabled phone, I can't help but think how ridiculous it is to fiddle around with some gadget while trying to oper--
It may very well be that installing cracked n-gage games on other phones will be easier than performing the complex battery/compartment door/tinylittle memorycard operation involved in installing the real n-gage game modules inside the phone...

In an early morning press conference, Nokia announced that it would attempt to derail software crackers by changing it's N-Gage software to either O-Gage or the ever-popular HO-Gage. Model railroaders around the world were confused.
3 out of 5 gamers agree,
It's a better cell phone than the Game Boy Advance

is the HUGE Business Software Alliance banner ad that greeted me when I opened their webpage.
I don't know what to say...
Even if a man chops off your hand with a sword, you still have two nice, sharp bones to stick in his eyes.

Horray!
Prepare for bankruptcy in T-minus 90 days...
