BBTetris Renamed BlockBerry – Updated to Version 5.5
The popular & free tetris game BBTetris has been updated and renamed to BlockBerry. I am not sure what warranted the name change but with “Berry” in its name RIM will never allow it in the App World. RIM recently forced ShortcutBerry to change its name to ShortcutMe to be eligible to be in the App World. Still BlockBerry is a pretty cool name.
Last time we mentioned BBTetris it was sitting pretty at version 4.1 and now we are up to version 5.5. Mostly we are seeing slight improvements on the gameplay and performance and battery enhancements.
You can pick up the latest version on the product page or by using our mirror OTA.
NOTE: You need to remove BBTetris manually before you install BlockBerry so they don’t conflict. Do to the name change it will not update automatically.
