The N-Gage has a d-pad and of course it has plenty of buttons (number pad) so I don't see why you couldn't play it. Obviously it wouldn't be arcade authentic, but certainly it would be playable.

Playing Defender on my N-Gage just feels wrong. You have to twist the phone 90degrees, so the d-pad is below the screen and the fire buttons are above (or vise versa). I spent a couple of minutes trying to play it like that, then gave up. Defender is just one of those games that needs real arcade controls.
