Other than slightly messed up key mappings this game plays well on both my test phones.

On the Rambler and probably other CDMA phones use the "5" key to start the game after selecting a player. On QWERTY phones you need to lock the keyboard in number mode by pressing the Fn key twice in order for the number keys to work.  Once the game begins OK and arrow keys work normally.

On iDEN phones the arrow keys and OK button don't work. Use 4, 6 to select a player and 5 or Call as the OK key/Fire button. On QWERTY phones you need to lock the keyboard in number mode with a long press on the Fn key in order for the number keys to work.
