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.

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.
