After some search, the NAND image is in /dev/mtd/4, it looks like this :
mtd0 bootloader
mtd1 kernel
mtd2 param
mtd3 filesystem
mtd4 NAND 64MiB 3,3V 8-bit

Using sterm, you could copy the image with dd to the SD card, I guess.

can you explain how to do it, i'm thinking of installing few games in nand memory.

I don't think you can use this NAND image for modifications, it's more like a backup, the command to copy it to the SD card :
dd if=/dev/mtd/4 of /mnt/sd/nand.img (I'm not sure if the bs option is needed bs=1 for 8bit)

You need YAFFS support to mount it.
