Blackberry Chess

[AdminX]

Are there any good Chess programs for the Blackberry phones? Just purchased a Blackberry Curve, I understand it has a 312MHz Intel XScale processor and 32 megs of RAM .

Thanks in Advance

Hi Ted, I'm not surprised there is no other response to your
post. Those Blackberry things are expensive, I priced one recently,
almost as dear as a bottom end laptop. Hard to find a used one,
I'd imagine. And my bet is that there are no chess programs, at
least no good ones, available for it yet.
In another thread, someone said that Intel are making 1.6mhz
and 1.8mhz chips for cell phones starting soon. That would
give us cell phone chess at a strength of some PC's.
I envy you with the Blackberry though. In the US things seem
to be cheaper. AFAIK you can use the internet on the thing, so
you can play against online chess club programs
wherever you are, ie, on the bus, beach, etc.

I take that back. Just looked on ebay, heaps of them. A guy
was trying to sell me a new one the other week, and it was
expensive.
