New cellphone

[Scutter01]

So, I have a new Samsung Epic 4G Touch android phone and so far my favorite "game" is playing with the Koi live wallpaper. Seriously. The screen is absolutely gorgeous.

I need to find some games that aren't some variation of the "play for free, but you have to buy magic beans to progress" time-sink games.

I like Teeter.

It's the full version that came with my evo.

I don't pay for games.

The bill is payment enough.

I don't know about magic beans but Lexie loves aqua pets. You have to fish enough to sell what u catch. U take that $ to buy more bait and better fishing poles so u can catch better fish that are worth more $.. then with more $$ you can feed the fish u caught ( in ur fish tank) and earn pearls. Its very addictive since once u get the best bait u want more poles and we're in level 60..... u know when I read this u actually should not play aqua pets cause you'll be its next victim.

Get words with friends and then PM me your username and we can battle in a scrabble type game

I read the description and it sounds like "We Rule", "TradeNations", etc. Basically, not games, just time sinks. I don't want a "game" where the object is to come back every hour to tap the screen a bunch of times. I had those 20 years ago, only then we called them "Tamagotchis".

As much as I'd like to, I refuse to install Zynga games. When they started on Facebook, their stated goal was to harvest as much personal data as possible to sell to the highest bidder. I don't trust the company and there's no reason that "Scrabble" needs access to my phone's contact list, the status and ID of the phone (including call logs)*, etc.

Samsung makes great screens!

Not to be the stormcloud on a sunny day, but I'm awaiting my THIRD "refurbished" Verizon Motorola Droid X. It's been a rough week for me and mobile devices.

My original phone, (~10mos. old) had a group of pixels that was brighter than the rest of the screen. Still within Motorola's one year factory warranty period, I took my phone into my local Verizonery, and they ordered a free "refurbished" replacement. The replacement arrived the next day, in great shape for a CPO phone no less, but it was overheating/shutting off and smelled of burning plastic.

I returned the the Verizon store the next night, they ordered another replacement phone. I opened up the box containing my replacement phone's replacement, only to find a phone in worse cosmetic shape and a loose charging port. I called Verizon and aired my grievances in regards to their stupid refurbished program, with the end result of them ordering me a replacement phone for my replacement phone's replacement.

Don't worry, they'll be able to actually take care of me should the third phone not work out.

Enough Ferrari problems from me, I don't really play games on my phone.

Oh, well aren't you just Mr. Fancy-Pants-Too-Important-To-Play-Games-On-His-Phone!


I shall call you "Mr. Pants" for short.

Angry Birds?

 

[Scutter01]

I like Angry Birds. I had that on my last phone, though, and I think I'm over it. There are about five thousand cheap knock-offs, too, which makes it hard to find a good app. That happens any time an app hits it big. Suddenly the market is flooded with bad copies. Makes it hard to find anything of value.

Super Stickman Golf, Home run battle 3d and Robo defense are three must have apps.

I really dislike to have to have one to begin with. Nothing bad against anyone. But, I don't have time to enjoy the internet or play games. At work I have to carry mine and the department issued one. At home I have to drag this one around. I at least got one with military specs.

I have downloaded the aforementioned angry birds. It is pretty fun, my six year old daughter is better at it than I am thanks to her aunt teaching her how to play.
