Motorola V290 Entertainment and Utility

Entertainment and Utility

Even in its simplicity, the V290 offered some entertainment in the form of built-in games such as Big2, BubbleTea, and PacificStorm. Although not sophisticated, these games provided a way to pass the time. The lack of Java support limited the expandability of the device's entertainment options, but the inclusion of iTAP predictive text input facilitated easier and faster SMS and EMS messaging, which was a crucial function during that time.
