In the info it says it does, but I dont see why it WOULD.
Im on the fence about buying it still.
I have tetris, I was wondering about the airtime charges though. The game still plays fine in "standalone mode" and with that you aren't connected to the network, so does Tetris add up the minutes of usage and then charge the minutes on your bill later? Not sure how that works. Oh, and it seems that you can only select ringtones as your in-game music, i think

Massive Snowboarding is really fun. Except the controls are bjorked. As most games, the number keys are used, but they don't seem to work on the 9900.
I really wish Need for Speed was available on the 9800/9900 ... it's the best VCAST game and we don't even get it! Has anyone played Asphalt Urban GT 2 3D? Is it any good? ...I really want a driving game.
Also, I think tetris uses airtime when doing the scores? You should see the little icon come on when it's using the network.

Well, if you do get it, it's the Tetris version where you can listen to your tunes while playing the game.
Although, the strange thing is, that it seems you can only listen to your ringers while you play the game not music from "my_music"... kinda sux

It's not that, I think the programmers have to tweak the games slightly so they work on a different handset. Also, the GIN catalog is updated every week (tuesday-wednesday perhaps), so time will tell... we may get NFS Carbon in a few weeks
Edit: BTW, Mission Impossible 3 is super-good on the 9900 .

My friend has about 60-100 imported games on his SE w810 (with T-mobile) that he didn't pay a cent for.
That being said, I can't it in myself to spend $7 to get something as simple as Tetris.

Massive Snowboarding is still the best game IMHO. I wish NFS was available. I actually like Chessmaster, even though I don't normally like chess programs, but I do like chess. Lumines is very, very good. The best mass-appeal game. Brothers In Arms is actually kinda fun, though the control problems with the phone make it a bit annoying.

Airtime is usually only when playing multiplayer, when downloading extra contente (it notifies you that it's doing this), or when uploading global high scores. You can see the data icon come on when it's transferring data. I've yet to see it just randomly connected, though that's definitely possible for a game to do.
Is it possible to download a video game in the correct format that games are from Get It Now and transfer them via bluetooth or the USB cable to a flash card?

You can buy/download a game from Get It Now and then you can back it up and do whatever you want with it - you could even put it on your SD card.
It won't do anything though.
Your Brew games or apps will only work on the phone that bought/downloaded it, and they will only work from the correct Brew folder(s) that they belong (where they were originally).
