Nokia clears up N-Gage miscommunication After Nokia N-Gage gamers reported outrage after not being able to transfer purchased games from one Nokia phone to another, Nokia has confirmed that you can indeed transfer the games and it was all just a "miscommunication".
Talking to PCWorld, Nokia added, "A miscommunication is blamed for users not being told. Internally there have been some mixed messages in this matter as well. We have been working on a way for this to work since the relaunch, but it is taking some time for everything to fall into place".

Nokia did want however,"want to elaborate on the details for when a mechanism for transferring games will be in place, or why it hasn't been released".



The unrest began last week when gamers who purchased N-Gage titles were led to believe that they could not transfer the game if they got a new phone. There are about 30 N-Gage titles finally available after over 6 months of delay in the relaunch of the service.
