On BlackBerryGuide.com, an author named Andreas has posted a freeware, BBTetris puzzle game that, apparently, he has adapted from a Palm OS version of the game written by an author only identified as www.xdebugx.net.Andreas makes the download of his72.42 kb BBTetris available on the British site BlackBerryGuide.com.
For the BlackBerry version, andreas mentions the conttrols that are used to play:
- Trackwheel lets you move your piece left or right;
- Q key is for dropping your piece faster;
- W key is for rotating your piece.
1. --> !!!WARNING!!! <--
something is wrong with this program! i installed it on my 7290 and it seemed to play okay, though the controls suck and everything is too wide.
about 3 hours later i tried to type in my password to check email and my BB crashed, with only a backlit blank screen. i pulled the battery to reboot it and it came back up.
30 minutes later i was prompted to "accept over the air password" to which i answered NO, of course.
I'D LIKE THE AUTHOR OF THIS PORT TO EXPLAIN WHY I WAS SUDDENLY PROMPTED TO CHANGE MY F*CKIN' PASSWORD!!!
I suspect the worst (virus?) - this game should be immediately PULLED from download until further testing is done.
I've been using and administering blackberries for around a year now and this has never happened before. If you install this app you do so at your own risk!
