    A lot of phones nowadays are gaming-capable, and more and more people are getting smartphones that have app functionality. Do you play games on the run? Or do you just use your phone for calling and stuff?

    I don't play games on my phone - I use it for calling, texting, and pictures. I have an iPod touch that I play games on (and even then I mostly use that for music), but my phone is for more practical uses.

    I use my phone for gaming and Twitter more than I do texting and phone calls lol. I play Plants vs. Zombies and Angry birds primarily.

    Angry Birds is addicting as hell T_T

    I have a few games on my phone but I don't play them a loooot. I was really addicted to Angry Birds for a while, and whenever I do open the app, I end up playing for a while, but I tend to bring a handheld around in my purse with me since I still prefer them for gaming. (I'm pretty sure it's like the only reason I actually use a purse lmao.)

    The games I play are Angry Birds, Unblock Me (probably my favourite n__n), Slice It, and a Tetris knockoff. I kind of want to get Plants vs Zombies on it but... I've never actually paid for an app and I'm not the one who pays the bill so I'd feel bad buying something & my parents would glare at me if I handed over $5 saying it was for a game on my phone, haha.

    Can't you just use your credit card to buy apps? I only buy them on my iPod so I don't know how buying them on an actual phone would work...but is there an option to just use your credit card and not have it charged to the bill?

    I have absolutely no idea and don't want to get into the habit of buying apps if I don't need to so I'm not even gonna check. :D

    I play a Bejewled knockoff usually. Have a few others, but I don't really play games on my phone.

    My boss has effing Guitar Hero on his phone! Do want.

    I don't play any games on mine, save for the fact that I tried to get Pokeymanz emulation to work on it, but emulator app was 5 bucks, and I didn't feel like paying for something that I was gonna do for the lulz. No phone games for me.

    It is really easy to do, but the simplicity can work in a bad way, because all you need to do to buy an app/game, once the information has been typed in the first time, is say 'buy' and that is it.

    I do play games on my phone since I have a Windows phone with XBL capabilities on it. I am going to be playing more on there soon, but I have just been a little busy recently.

    I actually play a number of games on my phone. A few games made for phones such as Angry Birds, but I do quite a lot of emulating on it also, GBA and GBC. Playing Link's Awakening and texting from the same device is extremely satisfying.
