the official Palm scrabble program
Oh, I should get this! I'm starting to get bored of Sudoku.
I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Hey. New board.
If you're decent, it's basically impossible to lose to the AI, even on expert, which is my only quibble. But it's fun anyway, and includes a really good interface, not to mention the full scrabble dictionary with definitions! I actually use it almost as much as a dictionary as a game, though the scrabble dictionary is a little funny. (For example, if there's a noun meaning for a word, no matter how rare, it will give it instead of the adjective/adverb/whatever, so that you know it can be pluralized legally.)
I'm thinking about buying Trivial Pursuit next, but I want to read some reviews on their question database. And also find out if its extensible, like the real game, because that would be awesome.

Plus, I'm not sure how many smartphones have full-fledged NES emulators for me to play FF1, FF2, FF3, and other classic NES RPGs on.
Now I want a Treo all over again.
Dammit.

Hey. New board.
The buttons and directional keys are a little too close together for comfortable action gaming, unfortunately, so Mario, Ninja Gaiden, Metroid, Punch Out, even Metroid don't work too well. But menu-based games like FF1-3 and Dragon Warrior 1-4 work perfectly, and that's a lot of fun gaming.

Thrive to spite them
I'm getting a pay as you go phone and it looks like Virgin Mobile is everyone's choice.
Now I just need to figure out which phone to get.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This is the one Brenda and I have: [link]

That's cool but it's more phone than I need.

So, Sidekick (or possibly SidekickID(?) which is coming out soon and is just without camera and bluetooth, which I dont' need), or Blackberry Pearl?
Does the sidekick have calendar/notes kinda things? Does the Pearl surf the web OK? (Or at least, buffistas and LJ)?

What meara said/asked.
I need more of a PDA than a gameboy; being able to take notes on it during meetings would be a plus.
What I really need is a tablet PC that's smaller and much much cheaper.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Sidekick does have calendar, notes, IM, etc.
Raq, if a UMPC is out of the running for you, I'd go with a Blackberry Pearl of meara's two choices.
