T-Zones	· Change Time · Stop Timer	The SGH-S105 comes with a WAP browser to allow you to access the Wireless Web.
Downloads	· Games & More · Launch MIDlet · Info · Remove · Update · Sounds · Pictures · DNS Settings	You can download MIDlets (Java programs running on mobile phones) from various sources using the WAP browser. Note: Java services maybe unavailable depending on the service provider.

The Funbox Menu is where you can browse the web, play games, and download MIDlets. There are three preloaded games on the SGH-S105.

Air Shooting is a vertically orientated airplane shooter game. The graphics for this game look great, but the game play is a bit limiting, since all you pretty much do is move left and right.

SpaceWar is a game similar to Erix from the Sony Ericsson. The object of the game is to move around and make shapes while trapping various objects that are moving around.

MyPet is a virtual pet game like Tamagotchi. You feed, bath, heat, play, and discipline your pet.

Java games are also available. The ones we found were very fun and interesting. There was Bowling, Hexa (Tetris game), and Midpman (Pacman). As we said earlier, the small 300 kb memory isn't nearly enough for all the cool downloadable games.
