As things stand currently there aren't many options for Twitter clients on BlackBerry 10. That will clearly change in the very near future, but if you fancy using something other than the 'limiting' native Twitter app, you may want to check out Neatly for BlackBerry 10.
I met up with the developer of Neatly, Ahmed, earlier today at BlackBerry Jam in Amsterdam and he kindly agreed to come on video and talk us through the app. I've been using Neatly over the last 24 hours and early impressions are very positive. Ahmed has spent a lot of time on the features within the app as well as the UI which adopts a black background with white text - and it looks really good. Notifications are not working at the moment as Twitter themselves need to agree to that, but it is in the works so fingers crossed it won't be long.
I'll continue to use Neatly and maybe do a follow up post in the next week or so with my final impressions. You can grab the app for $2.69 in the meantime if you can't wait. Feel free to air your thoughts in the comments section.

Looks good but still waiting for Blaq or UberSocial. Really not getting on with the baked in version of Twitter - I think it's really underspecced and feels half finished, even when compared to the version on BBOS 7!

UberSocial is probably my favourite BB app, yet there is still no sign of a version for BB10.

You would think the company that produces BBM, could come up with a pretty cool app for Twitter.

I dont mind the native Twitter App

Isn't native Twitter actually created by Twitter instead of BlackBerry?

Yes

I am big fan if UberSocial! Any word on whether they are creating a version for BB10? I haven't seen or heard anything.

The native twitter app is okay but certainly needs some updates. I was really annoyed when I found out I couldn't manage two separate twitter accounts from within the app. (if anyone has a way to do this let me know!) Also, searching tweets and then clicking on links can be glitchy.

I like what I see but since I have to wait until March for the Z10 then I would love to see a follow up to this video. I like the look and all the additional features. The gentleman doing the presentation of the app isn't really trying to sell you on why you should use his app. So I would appreciate a walk thru, and comparison to the native twitter app. Thanks for this post.

Neatly for me has an issue, It reports that i constantly have 98 unread messages, the puts me to the earliest tweet in the list,
That for me is a killer, so much that i downloaded a more recent twitter.apk converted it to a bar and side loaded it.

FWIW I just got the following reply from an Ubermedia rep:
"Thank you for your email. Currently we are investigating this matter, but at this point there are no plans to develop an UberSocial version for BB10."
:(
Maybe if more people let them know they really want Ubersocial on BB10, it'll help them change their minds?

I'll use identi.ca from the browser until ubersocial comes to blackberry 10. I don't even care if it's an android port either. :)
