If you get a phone with a hard keyboard there may be a game gripper available. That is what I use and it works great. I wrote this shitty mini-review that has a link to a video of it in action. The emulators are great. Even If I get a new phone one day I am keeping my Droid as a dedicated gaming handheld.

Great thread. The 'droid is the second phone in over 14 years that gave me phone envy. The other is the equally modern Nokia N900 (mmm. maemo....).

So, I haven't found any games on the Android that really enthuses me. But, one of the reasons I had to get this thing is because of its great GPS functionality. Couple that with the web capabilities, and its made for GeoCaching. c:geo is the best app I've found for it. New to GeoCaching? http://www.geocaching.com

It seems that the OpenFeint platform that a lot of games on iOS use is coming to Android, and bringing a lot of popular games along with it. This is really good news for Android gamers, as the list of big iOS exclusives is gradually decreasing.

Well I don't have an Android phone, I have an iPod touch, but I know Gameloft ported several games and they make good clones. A couple are Nova and modern combat from the top of my head.

Oh, I'm sorry that I wasn't around for the pre-release alpha version; I guess I'm not a veteran, then. :roll:

It's kind of hard to be a veteran for something that hasn't been out for two years, yet. Imagine if in 2003, I said I was an Xbox veteran.
