All that I can say is that I have not had a single issue with BBtetris since I installed it in October of last year, however, I cannot speak for anyone else. I can only give my opinion. It is a great game at an even better price.

As the developer who ported this app I will respond:

bbtetris was extensively tested before it was published, this is the first time a crash has been blamed on it, and I’m not entirely sure how what you describe is possible.

The application makes use of the midp libraries and the BB keylistener library from RIM (to map buttons), however it never touches the BB datastore (where information is stored) or the networking API’s (it does no network-related tasks), so it simply doesn’t have the ability to change anything on your BB.

Also, RIM (maker of the BB) is very careful about what and how developers access their API’s, BBtetris makes use of only unlocked API’s (those which don’t require a license/compile key and are marked as safe to the device and your data by RIM). I simply cannot imagine a situation where this could occur.

The full source-code should be included in any download (unless it has been posted anywhere outside of BlackberryHowTo.com or Pinstack.com and someone has altered the zip-file), so the code can be verified.

All that being said: If bbtetris was the cause then I apologize, however I don’t see how that would be possible.

Thanks,
Andreas.
