"A smart husband buys his wife very fine china so she won't trust him to wash it. "

The verdict is still out: BlackBerry vs. iPhone

But one thing for sure is that you can't get cool games like trackball Pacman for FREE. The below BlackBerry games are free for download and work on all 8000 series including the Pearl, 8700, 8703 and 8800. The game is just like this one except that you use the track ball to control Pacman. How cool is that?

Installation Guide
These games can be installed into your BlackBerry Over the Web (i.e. OTA) or using the BlackBerry Desktop Manager. OTA is the easiest method since all you have to do is open the OTA link from your BlackBerry web browser - this assumes that you have a data plan. Otherwise, you can do it the old fashioned way and use the BlackBerry Desktop Manager->Application Loader (Shown on the right). The Desktop Manager comes bundled with your BlackBerry installation CD or can be downloaded from the blackberry website. The downloads below contain all the .COD and .ALX files you need to load the game.

Only if you have problems installing the above version, you can try the older version which ONLY works for the earlier trackball BlackBerries.

Big thanks to Mark from BlackBerry Forums for hosting the OTA download.

Xiang Qi (Chinese Chess) for 8xxx BlackBerry

Xiang Qi is one of the oldest chess games. This is the Chinese version and was also specially written for the Pearl and other 8xxx series to take advantage of the trackball. The background comes from a picture I took of the Great Wall when I visited Beijing.
