Kathy asked me where she could find Bejeweled for her BlackBerry so I did a bit of research. Turns out that EA/Handmark has licensed the Bejeweled game and is selling it for the BlackBerry for $14.99. A bit pricey in my opinion but a fun & addictive game nonetheless.
With a little bit more research I found that AIM Productions sells a similar game called Jewel Miner. It seems to be an exact replica of Bejeweled for 2/3rds the price ($9.99 currently). At first I was excited since I thought there was a trial for Jewel Miner but it turns out that it just leads you to a download of PhoneyCall.
If your interested in a knockoff alternative to Bejeweled check out the Pearl version and Curve version of Jewel Miner.
Let us know if you have tried any of these out! Hopefully Kathy will report back soon with her thoughts.

Wow I still play this on my old Treo, only because it came Free on my old Treo. I’d love to have this on my blackberry. Some games are better with a touchscreen, so I bet this would be better on the BB Thunder.

I have Jewel Miner on my 8310 Curve and I am hopelessly addicted to it. I’m mostly thrilled to have something to play other than Brick Breaker.
