Look, I like Tetris. I'm not any good at it, but I like it. I just don't get why you'd download it on a mobile phone. It's already difficult for me. Putting it on a device with little (or sometimes no) buttons only makes it more difficult.
I guess that's just me, though. Tetris has been purchased as a mobile game 100 million times...since 2005. That's insane. That makes it the best selling mobile game of all time. That makes EA quite happy, seeing as how they picked up the license in 2006.
I wonder how many of those 100 million are iPhone Tetris copies. That game is crap.

Tetris will never die.
And then I realized I can run NES, SNES, GBC, GBA, and Genesis games on my phone. Now I don't even have to worry about EA's $5 piece of garbage.
You're going to be walking down the street one day soon and every iPhone user you see will come up to you, to you personally, and shove their phone in your face telling you how fucking awesome it is.
Karma will catch up.
4 arrow keys; that's all it takes.
So my question is, why wouldn't you want to download it on a mobile phone, where most (if not all) current phones have arrow keys?
Four arrows, two or more rotation buttons and a hold button.
Shit, the game is totally complicated now!
Excuse me while I care even less.
