So I recently got my hands on a (last generation) PDA Smartphone. Used from craigslist, its a PPC 6700. Works great, minor wear, flashed to my carrier, working WAP and MMS. :)

Now I want to load it up with good PPC software. I've gotten some software (games mostly) from when I had an iPaq a few years ago. Worms World Party, Bejeweled 2. TCPMP as well. When I hit up google to try to research PPC games and apps that are worth any time at all, most sites are ad-ridden and impossible to decipher while the remainder are selling the games and apps and provide little to no useful information.

I figured with Pocket PCs being integrated with phones the subject would be a little more popular but maybe I'm wrong?

    I just upgraded to the 6800 from the 6700 that the OP has. Man what an improvement!

    As for games, I currently have Monopoly on mine. Great time waster when pinching one out at work.

    However, they charged a lot for it.

    Yeah I was considering waiting and saving up for 6800 but I got a deal on the 6700 and it's a good entry into the smartphone market, especially considering my carrier doesn't even offer one lol. Not to mention I didn't want to spend a whole lot of money on a phone I might brick or something.

    I only had the 6700 for a year (got as a graduation gift). I wouldn't have upgraded, but we had a power surge and it literally toasted my charging port. I took it to Sprint to see if they could do something, and they charged me $50 to claim it under insurance (which I didn't have) and gave me the 6800. I really couldn't say no to that.

    I've got an HTC Touch, and the two games I have loaded are Pocket GNU Go and Warring States. Both are free.

    Back in the day, www.pocketgamer.org used to be an awesome site. No idea about them now.

    Forget Worms World Party and buy Snails instead. Same idea, better executed and with more style.
