TweetCaster - New Free Twitter Client for BlackBerry Smartphones by Handmark
There are over a dozen Twitter clients for BlackBerry and new ones are popping up all the time. The newest player to the Twitter game is TweetCaster by Handmark. It doesn't boast any revolutionary features, but it does get the job done. Multiple account support, URL shortening, GPS and trending topic list are just a few. The layout is a bit rough and needs some work, but the app is a good start. TweetCaster is free, and to get it all you need to do is head to this page and send a Tweet. You can also check out a demo video here.

I'll take it around the block to see if it has what it takes to dethrone ubertwitter.
serpico Jul 21, 2009 at 12:27 pm
Exactly, I'm trying it now to see if ubertwitter will be dethrowned!
Bla1ze Jul 21, 2009 at 9:47 am
dislike this app very much, that is all. lol
CCBalla10 Jul 21, 2009 at 9:55 am
looks alright, fonts are weird, but I'll stick to twitterberry or ubertwitter

Tried it, liked the layout and GUI but the fact that it would not update me to new tweets was disappointing. Holds promise for future dev. Deleted and went back to UberTwitter.

look at the subject title. that is all.
ScarletX Jul 21, 2009 at 10:17 am
me needs a new blackberry!
coolguy78240 Jul 21, 2009 at 10:41 am
cant get it to work.???
Jay21fire Jul 21, 2009 at 11:05 am
I downloaded it made one post and deleted it. I will stick with Ubertwitter.
Tweetcaster looks like something that just came out of a cartoon or something, like it was thrown together in about 20 mins
Sorry handmark

I have to agree with Bla1ze, it's /horrible/.
Unicorn56 Jul 21, 2009 at 11:43 am
Sounds like and interesting app.
VDub2174 Jul 21, 2009 at 11:59 am
Not a fan of it right now. If they were to update it to auto refresh and support alerts I would use it over UberTwitter, until then UT remains my #1 app for Twitter.
brumann Jul 21, 2009 at 12:15 pm
Ubertwitter is far superior than any Twitter app for Blackberry. Hands down.
flamingkitties Jul 21, 2009 at 12:52 pm
Looks terrible.
I like the multiple account option, but that's not going to get me to download it. Sorry. Ubertwitter all the way.

Ubertwitter all the way.

UberTwitter definitely wins in my opinion however I;m going to keep this application simply because it posts the pictures to twit pic! lol UberTwitter's picture posting is odd..
slaintsoez Jul 21, 2009 at 2:27 pm
Best twitter client to date by far...runs great on the storm. Easy to use and has a great interface...love it.
Jvazquez930 Jul 21, 2009 at 3:43 pm
Does not compare to Ubertwitter
chickendawg Jul 21, 2009 at 6:04 pm
Im gonna keep my ubertwitter still but these is a pretty cool app. Im digging the using multiple accounts it was a huge issue switching between my accounts on ubertwitter.
doxidad Jul 21, 2009 at 6:13 pm
I'll stick with ubertwitter. The control bar at the top is way too small for my fingers and some of the UI is not intuitive - maybe I'm slow?
missladybitch Jul 21, 2009 at 7:23 pm
its a bit too slow for me. I'm in Australia though so I dont know if that makes a difference? I'll stick with ubertwitter... until tweeteev comes out that is :D
autoprime Jul 21, 2009 at 8:52 pm
same.. although if tweeteev sucks after all this hype.. i'm gonna raise hell.
coachmac Jul 21, 2009 at 9:46 pm
Started out on Twitterberry, then moved to Ubertwitter, just downloaded TweeterCaster and am very impressed. Lot of versatility. Nice job.
StraightWisdom Jul 21, 2009 at 9:59 pm
I'm gonna check it out to see whats up
absolutgrl Jul 21, 2009 at 11:31 pm
How do I find said Ubertwitter that everyone is talking about? I can't seem to find it!
bb4temo Jul 21, 2009 at 11:41 pm
I downloaded almost immediately after I discovered its release. Unfortuately, it never gave me updates to the ppl I was following. UBER TWITTER, please forgive me for cheating on you with another Twitter app... I'm coming back to you ASAP because you are the truth!!
invioeguru Jul 22, 2009 at 12:06 am
I downloded this app on my Curve 8330 & I LOVE it! Well worth "tweeting" about.
* Looks great.
* Is not any slower than the other Twitter apps that I have tried.
* Has a lot of cool features & gives you access to multiple accounts.
Are-Mad Jul 22, 2009 at 8:04 am
Did what it told me to do but didnt get a free copy...?
jbjones1975 Jul 23, 2009 at 9:53 am
I registered on Monday and still have not received my download link...anyone else having this issue
TDRock Jul 23, 2009 at 6:35 pm
I don't love the way this looks and I do like Uber, but bottom line is more of these apps need to support multiple Twitter accounts, so right now Tweetcaster is the only game in town. That's enough for me to give it a whirl...
gerhonda Jul 24, 2009 at 3:30 pm
I downloaded this, I think this is my new fave =)
Miz.Michele Jul 26, 2009 at 11:54 pm
Is there any way to increase the font - it's so small.
ldystardust Jul 30, 2009 at 2:16 pm
TweetCaster is ok for a free client, and if you want support for multiple accounts it's great. It works well and looks good on the Storm, but it doesn't auto-refresh which can be annoying. Also, the photo feature is pretty useless, as you have to go through the file directory and choose a picture by filename alone, rather than being able to send it from a thumbnail or the picture itself.
TDRock Jul 31, 2009 at 4:00 am
it's slow tho on my Curve 8320. Like the poster above me said, it's fine. Not GREAT. But it's fine. I definitely preferred UberTwitter and I would love it if UT supports multiple accounts soon. I guess I'll try SocialScope next. Or TweetGenius. What's going on with TweetGenius, is the new version out yet?
iamlittlegiant Aug 3, 2009 at 12:31 pm
Wow a must have for tweeters
AJ_Franklin Nov 12, 2009 at 8:09 pm
I never used Uber Twitter so I can't compare the two. But I do like the interface on Tweetcaster. Although it does not automatically refresh, it provides a big button top-center that says REFRESH. I'll stick with it until after giving Uber Twitter a shot at my business.

I cannot get the app to work. The email for feedback is defunct. This app blows. It will not work on my Blackberry 9800. I could really cuss Seesmic out for leaving us Blackberry users hanging.
