The Sour Taste Of Gaming On A Blackberry

Gone are the days of asking your parents to borrow you their phone, so that you can play the popular snake game on it. Now your parents embarrass you on facebook, if you have them as a facebook friend and constantly ask you for your bbm pin. Today we look at gaming on your Blackberry and why the Blackberry totally sucks at gaming.

BlackBerry smartphones were once upon a time only used by business men and the coolest phone to have as a young person was a Nokia 3310. Now BlackBerry smartphone's are considered entry level phones that are only good for social networking and instant messaging. Not forgetting the really cheap internet plan (BlackBerry Internet Service) that allows you to download a certain amount of data from the internet onto your phone. This means that you can download a new game everyday if you wanted too, but gaming on a BlackBerry is not fun.

One thing that most gamer's have in common is that we love being and feeling as if we are in control of the game we are playing. This requires a large area in the form of a joystick, dual-shock controller, etc. The BlackBerry has a qwerty keypad that's great for sending text messages but totally sucks for gaming. The buttons are small and the track pad occasionally freeze's while your busy on the phone. The next important item we require is a reasonably sized screen. The BlackBerry screen is not the biggest and even the top of the rage BlackBerry Torch 9810 and its stunning 3.2" inch display won't satisfy your gaming hunger.

One thing that all BlackBerry users complain about is the phones battery. Since BlackBerry's are always connected to the internet via the BlackBerry Internet Service the phones battery gets drained very quickly. One thing you don't want is the phone switching off in the middle of a game. BlackBerry's are great at social networking and instant messaging. If you have one? don't throw it way, because other smartphone's don't have an affordable internet plan and it will cost you an arm and a leg to surf the net. If you really want to game on your phone? save up and get yourself the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play. This is the ultimate smartphone when it comes to gaming, the iphone 4s and Samsung Galaxy S III are also cool for gaming on the move. Save up and get your game on.
