The Firemint games are worth it - not too sure how Real Racing would run, but Flight Control is a must!
Game Dev Story was much loved last year. From what I understand there is about 90 minutes of awesome gameplay before it starts to level off.

Got angry birds, enjoyed it for like an hour and got bored. Nothing on a cell phone can hold my attention.
There's a fun little time waster out there called "Alchemy." You start out with the four basic elements; fire, water, air, and wind. By combining two of them together you get something new. For instance fire and water create steam. And so you basically spend the game creating new things by combining everything that you make. It's surprising fun and there's everything to create from Dinosaurs to Mario to vodka.
I picked up an iPhone 3 last Monday and am in love with this cool, tiny device. I'm now in search of some games to play on the go. Of course, I downloaded Angry Birds and am addicted. There's Peggle, Tetris and I hear Minecraft is coming soon. What else? Any cool RPGs? Old school classics, like Sonic? I tried the Simpsons arcade demo and it just doen't work very well without a joystick.
