Nethack for Blackberry
While I'm on the subject of the BlackBerry, I'd like to note that there's a marked absence of Roguelikes for the device. There's a bunch of Roguelikes for handhelds, including Nethack for Windows CE, but not a one listed for BlackBerry.
It's true that I'm not the first person to notice or complain, but I'd love to add my voice to the choir.
Tons of games exist for BlackBerry—I don't know how I'd get through airports, bus rides, and meetings without them—so why this one oversight?
If you don't know what Nethack is, it's simply the best game ever.

Dweller isn’t an awful alternative http://roguelikedevelopment.org/dweller/index.php
A bit limited, but for an on the go version its fun.
Although it would be nice to have nethack or rogue actually on a mobile platform. The developers of nethack say on their website that they will not be making a java version of the game because it would mean rewriting the game from scratch. But it is open source so it wouldn’t be impossible to do..

Aric, I tried Dweller on my BlackBerry but it seemed only to crash.

I tried version 0.7.0 with gfx on my Curve and it works fine.
