Maybe this isn't technically a complaint about the iPhone, but rather a complaint about the iPhone Scrabble app, but its only a technicality, because an iPhone without Scrabble is like Lindsey Lohan without boobs*. Nobody wants anything to do with either.

Imagine what it would be like to play chess with Gary Kasparov standing over your shoulder. After every move he'd be scoffing and pointing out what you should have done and drinking vodka, and saying how you're stupidity has doomed us all to defeat at the hands of future armies of robotic chess pieces. It'd get old faster than... well...

Point is, games that were fun suddenly become not fun when every action you take is judged. So what possessed Scrabble to include the goddamn Tile of Judgment on their game is beyond me. Sure, once in awhile you'll get a nice smile from the Tile of Judgment, but more often then not he stares at you impassively, judging you, wondering what kind of moron doesn't realize the apparently useless jumble of letters in front of him actually spells "boehmite". A STUPID MORON, THAT'S WHAT KIND.

*Seriously, this is a goddamn national tragedy. They used to be so full of promise. Now they just hang there sad and defeated.

Run out of actual iPhone complaints already? That was fast.

The original version of iPhone Scrabble was an abortion. No TWL, crashed all the time, the computer played phonies ("pl" being the worst) with regularity. It sucked.

I emailed EA complaining. Their response? Contact Apple for a refund. I responded by telling them that I didn't want a refund; I wanted a working game that followed the rules of Scrabble.

Miraculously, they listened. The current version is light years ahead of the original release. Still, it has its foibles -- it refuses to remember my prefernces for quick play, as older versions did. Still, it is nice to know that EA took action to improve a once-dreadful product.

While i actually do trust the *if it ain't broken don't fix it* idea, i've got to say : *If it dosn't bring anything new to the table, why change?*I played it since launch. I enjoy it, nonetheless it copies way to a lot of things from wow, along with the game suffer's from that.

My spouse and i definitely need to think more in that way and see things i can do regarding this.

I share a few of these thoughts on the subject ! Happy to read your posts.

A waste of time so ancient it predates iPhones, computers, probably even books.We are fairly certain that on some long-ago winter night, in some long-forgotten language, a hunter or gatherer grunted he paint seven antelope on cave wall, then die from oozing wound,and was answered "Who Og Yet here we are, in 2010, no smarter, no much more advanced in any real sense, tapping on our iPhones like chimps trying to get skittles in some demented grad school experiment--and still obsessed with trivia.
