EA releases Scrabble for cellphones

Cellphone ScrabbleScrabble is without a doubt one of the most addictive games you can play on a mobile device. Handmark's Scrabble for Palm OS and Windows Mobile has been around for a couple of years. But if you have a mobile phone with a simpler operating system you'd been out of luck. Until now.

The game is available for $2.49 to $6.99 (we assume the price changes depending on your handset and carrier). You can also play a browser-based demo that shows how to use your keypad to play.
