Second thouhts and better news on EA's Scrabble for DS

Okay, this is a revised review. I purchased this game the moment I saw it and was so excited. But it played horribly with jumping tiles and freakish sensitivity on the playing field. Like others I tried recalibrating my DS and nothing worked. Then a friend with a DS played it in his console and it worked fine. Long story short I bought another DS and problem solved. I have since become addicted to the game.
The only issue I have is some of the words played by the opponent are...well they are out there. Words you would never find in conversation (polite or otherwise) and I find myself having a dictionary nearby because my reaction is that the word is made up.
I have since moved on to Word Jong but I do come back to Scrabble and would now recommend it to anyone who loves a good word game.
I still find it annoying, however, that EA never found it in their customer service abilities to even respond to my email. I guess with their bigger legal issues mine seemed insignificant.
