- Supports saving of games and loading. Stop a game and resume it later!
- Native Blackberry application now rather than a Java midlet.
- Improved background processing and game always pauses when game is interrupted.
- Signed application.
- Blocks change color when they lock into place.
- Prompt on exit, other UI popups added.
- New sounds and music.
- Much faster loading and quitting.

A while back we told you about a free Tetris game for BlackBerry called BBTetris. The game is a decent free alterternative to the Tetris that I believe EA has the rights to distribute for BlackBerry. The free version is now called BlockBerry, and is on version 5.78. The latest version saves your sound settings and improves the Storm experience.
Here are the OTA links for the game:
95xx Storm Version (Start the game in portrait mode. It won’t display correct if you launch it in Landscape)
9000 Bold Version
97xx(Bold2) / 96xx(Tour) / 89xx(Curve) Version
83xx(Curve) / 85xx / 88xx Version
82xx Pearl Flip Version
81xx Pearl Version
Enjoy!

Does this mean that the above device is a BlockBerry Storm? I can’t wait until they launch the BlockBerry Tour in China.
