Whether people need a little coffee break or hours of distraction and pleasure, mobile phones are becoming a very satisfying platform for PC games. Here are three ideal phones for gaming.

Blackberry

You got it. The businessman’s workhorse knows how to play, too. The blackberry smart phone is in direct competition with the iPhone now that they come with touch screens. RIM’s famously secure operating system will keep data safe while you’re downloading new games and networking with your friends. For the businessman who loves to game, the blackberry is an all-in-one mobile computer.

iPhone

No gaming list is complete without the iPhone. Apple knows how to make graphics pop, and there are over 70,000 games for their very consumer-friendly smartphone. As a total portable entertainment center, the iPhone holds the market because of iTunes’ versatility. You get movies, music, games and even television series downloaded right to your mobile phone.

HTC Nexus One

This Android operated phone is billed as the iPhone’s biggest challenger when it comes to graphics. For gamers who appreciate the design of a good graphics card, this droid driven device is sure to satisfy.

And an Honorable Mention for Those Who Really Should Be Working

You’re supposed to use your phone to stay in touch with clients, and you need to type fast to do that. You’re also addicted to games that use the latest phone design. As an honorable mention, check out the Palm Pre. This device has a keyboard and a touch screen. It’s an old name in mobile technology that knows exactly how to transform into the new world of mobile gaming.

I would have to say that the most important product or gadget that I own today is my iPhone. As fun and game oriented as the iPhone can be, it is more of a tool and source of information for me. When I travel through states and cities that I am not familiar with, I use iPhone applications to guide me through the streets and highways. I have never gotten lost, nor have I been lead in the wrong direction using it. I use it to keep track of my daily workout routine, search the internet and look for recipes when I’m wondering what to make for dinner. There is so many applications available for the iPhone that any user can customize the phone to his needs. This really applies to all versions of the iPhone. Of course, newer versions can generally do more and have upgrades, but the applications have always been the deal-breaker for me.

Another great feature that I use is the iPhone to iPhone direct chatting. With this chatting service, I can communicate with my friends and family free. This cuts down my monthly phone bill by about 50 percent. So, not only do I find my iPhone to help me through my daily routine, but it saves me money.

I would say that 90 percent of my day is organized and entered in some way in my iPhone. I have found this to be the same for my friends who own an iPhone. So I often ponder, am I too attached to my iPhone? Could I live as well without it? I hope I don’t have to find out!
