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. While the Finnish phone-maker did not respond directly to GameSpot inquiries, a spokesperson told the Associated Press that "we take it very seriously and we are definitely investigating this."
