Last time we mentioned the free BBTetris game, it was sitting pretty at version 3. Since then, Papped has been working hard on improving the smaller things about the game like battery usage and other code improvements. Nothing crazy new, but the game now supports the 81XX, 83XX, 8900 and 9000 Bold devices. Keep up the good work, Papped!
You can pick up the latest version on the product page or by using our mirror OTA.

I really missed not having Tetris on my BlackBerry after previously having it on my old Sanyo. Thank you so very very much!

I an truly enjoying BBTrtris. Just why 88XX series is left out. Anyway the 83XX runs successfully on my 88XX after installation and a battery pull.

It’s not really left out if the 83xx version runs. The “model versions” are just based on screen resolution anyways.

even before the updates, this has been a great game. the enhancements are very nice and have not experienced any quirks, except when i don’t get past level 4
