Kill time with trivia questions on your BlackBerry

There are all different ways you can use your BlackBerry to kill idle time. You can load up a memory card with music and jam out to your favorite tunes. You can read RSS feeds or even ebooks. You can play one of hundreds of games, including a couple of neat pre-loaded ones. But sometimes that gets old and you’ll want new entertainment. Lately in the Store I’ve noticed a series of trivia apps going up. A company called FanWide has released a series of 23 (so far) trivia games, which are great ways to kill time. Each pack comes with a different set of questions. For $1.50 you get the trivia app, plus 1,100 general knowledge questions. Then there are plenty of expansion packs, including another 1,100-question general knowledge pack. (LOL, by the way, at the VJ Singh option in the screenshot. They didn’t even spell his name right.) There are also packs that cover sports and entertainment. You can get a trivia game with tons of questions about Books & Lit, Comics & Superheroes, Movie Classics, or TV from the 2000s. Then there’s sports, starting with a 1,200 question pack about american sports, followed by one for each of the majors (baseball, basketball, football, soccer, golf, and hockey). If you’re looking to kill some time, you can browse the list of trivia packs. It looks like there’s something for everyone in there.
