Snails is an extremely fun video game for the PocketPC. I also enjoy Metallion.

is nothing compared to
If you want my advice: Go with Argentum if you like strategy games, Interstellar flames for shoot-em-up types, For Scrolling shooters go to: www.jimmysoft.com for Turjah and Turjah 2 (Turjah 2 being better imho) And if you loved SimCity for PC, you'll love for the PPC. Be reminded that it will cost a bunch of dough for all this. If you are looking for good prices and good games; go to www.xengames.com (The link for Interstellar Flames) The best prices, the best games. Xengames. (Ohhh Simon! I got a slogan for ya!) And for ALL the software you could possibly want: Go
Theres my 2 cents. Enjoy.

Hi:)
The 631o is a phone from NOkia, he is wanting to hook his phone up to the pps for internet surfing. HE can use the infrared or us a cable to do that.
