Maybe it will be enough to pull me back from Seesmic. Seesmic is just so fast and light. Also, there needs to be a way to remove that banner at the top with the clouds. It is unnecessary and takes up precious screen space.

"Quote tweets (ability to edit ReTweets)
Auto complete for @ usernames"

The only two features it was missing as far as my twitter needs go. Awesome

Yyyesssss I'm Soooooo happy about these 2 updates. I guess I'll have to say bye bye to Uber Twitter now!

 
 
Posted by Kiddo_24 Wednesday, May 19, 2010 737 days ago

I bought UberTwitter. I can't let it go but I'd like to have Twitter for BlackBerry too. Got two BBs anyway =P

 
 
Posted by JRF_8520 Wednesday, May 19, 2010 737 days ago

That was all I wanted: edit RT's and Friend Picker, now I can finally get rid of UT. I have both and switch between them very often. Now, I just need one: Twitter for Blackberry :)

 
 
Posted by JasW Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

The RIM client is much more nicely integrated into the phone than UT, now with these two features -- the reasons most UT users gave for sticking with UT -- the only reason to stick to UT would be to avoid the RIM client's battery drain (which is not completely remedied by logging out, imho).

 
 
Posted by jeneias Wednesday, May 19, 2010 737 days ago

I was just wondering when they'd let us edit RTs. Can't wait for the update.

 
 
Posted by loreburne Wednesday, May 19, 2010 737 days ago

Auto complete @ will make me move from Uber I think! Nice one!

 
 
Posted by exwindchaser Wednesday, May 19, 2010 737 days ago

I got the email from the BB PR peeps about this and actually got my article up before you guys! Yay first time ever! http://afx.cc/e73

 
 
Posted by exwindchaser Wednesday, May 19, 2010 737 days ago

All that's missing is multiple accounts

 
 
Posted by kellidotca Wednesday, May 19, 2010 737 days ago

I was really hoping this feature would be included.

 
 
Posted by luqman24 Wednesday, May 19, 2010 737 days ago

And Twitlonger

 
 
Posted by JRF_8520 Wednesday, May 19, 2010 737 days ago

Twitlonger was pretty neat, but it's not as important to me as the other 2. Still, I hope they'll include that later?

 
 
Posted by elgrant Wednesday, May 19, 2010 736 days ago

My thoughts exactly. Having a business and personal account, it's easier when they are combined. Similar to what SocialScope is doing.

If Twitter for BB can do it without the memory leaks, and add all those other updates, I may be inclined to switch.

 
 
Posted by tedesco Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

Need Multiple accounts and i will finally let go of uber. I love this update though!

 
 
Posted by callmeforge Wednesday, May 19, 2010 737 days ago

Good updates coming. Still would like to see multiple accounts to really pull me away from Ubertwitter.

 
 
Posted by McNooberson Wednesday, May 19, 2010 737 days ago

I like the client, but it has some features missing. And it always seems to have problems connecting to twitter when no other twitter app I have has an issue.

 
 
Posted by joandrade Wednesday, May 19, 2010 737 days ago

I like it because of the Message Box integration. I have everything in my "Messages" app (SMS, email, facebook) so twitter was a nice addition to it. It actually made me leave Ubertwitter altogether (Unless at fridays, making followfridays typing every username is a time consuming process).
The only extra complain I have is that sometimes the App is that sometimes it 'crashes', not leaving me write anything else, but still counting characters. Does this happen to anyone else?

 
 
Posted by InpherKnow Wednesday, May 19, 2010 737 days ago

Everytime I put in a hashtag the same problem for me happens. These are welcome improvements!

 
 
Posted by tedesco Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

I get the same issue. Seems to happen with hashtags and sometimes when I try to enter a link.

 
 
Posted by luqman24 Wednesday, May 19, 2010 737 days ago

I was also hoping it would have "Twitlonger" which is on Ubertwitter. I just don't like that character limit on Twitter. That's one of the reasons I went with Ubertwitter. I hope this enough to pull me back to Twitter for blackberry lol. But other than that, great progress! (Y)

 
 
Posted by devGOD Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

twitter is suppose to be short and quick updates... not a long explanation of whats going on. I always stop following people that "twitlonger". i dont needed to know every detail

 
 
Posted by GargoyleDC Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

but sometimes you need that extra space when sending out news....

 
 
Posted by devGOD Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

there are always ways to rewrite or shorten your message. leave out a comma, explanation mark, use sms style text words, etc.

 
 
Posted by zarzamora_hermosa Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

If you need more than 140 characters, you simply are not being creative enough. Twitter is supposed to be micro-blogging. If you need more characters, start a blog and let people follow you there.

With some people following hundreds, even thousands of accounts, adding extra characters really drags it out.

 
 
Posted by shaydakiss23 Wednesday, May 19, 2010 737 days ago

I'm just hoping that when I leave the app and come back, it'll start me off at the last tweet I viewed. I love this about Ubertwitter. If they've added that...bye bye Uber.

 
 
Posted by carrickfergus Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

It does. Just leave the timeline on the "home" tag when you're done and close with the end call button. The next time you go in, start a downward scroll and it will scroll down to the last read tweet.

 
 
Posted by ortonauta Wednesday, May 19, 2010 737 days ago

Getting closer, needs to be able to manage multiple accounts and put a little counter next to the alert icon when new tweets arrive. Also needs twitlonger or similar.
I´m not leaving uber till at least these features are implemented!

 
 
Posted by startrak140 Wednesday, May 19, 2010 737 days ago

Is this available on the update. Didn't quite understand what they meant on the website. If someone could give me a yes or no. Thanks

 
 
Posted by mcdanielnc89 Wednesday, May 19, 2010 737 days ago

Well... The only complaint I really have about twitter for blackberry is.... It always seems to have an error with the connection.. I deal with it, but it's annoying...

 
 
Posted by Username00089 Wednesday, May 19, 2010 737 days ago

Edit retweets and friend picker! All I needed!!

 
 
Posted by tidebuzz Wednesday, May 19, 2010 737 days ago

Critical update for T4B. The only missing feature is multiple accounts (like everyone else has said).

I really don't like twitlonger. It takes away from what Twitter is, just short blips of info. Twitlonger is not necessary.

 
 
Posted by vx1 Wednesday, May 19, 2010 737 days ago

still .37 nothing new for ota yet

 
 
Posted by rroyy Wednesday, May 19, 2010 737 days ago

Beta Zone also .37 for now.

 
 
Posted by yellowxboy Wednesday, May 19, 2010 737 days ago

i wish they could have visible tabs like how ss does.

 
 
Posted by SlimGuy78 Wednesday, May 19, 2010 737 days ago

Edit re-tweets =0)

 
 
Posted by nkauchak Wednesday, May 19, 2010 737 days ago

Well, this is great; I really like the Twitter client, but I wish RIM had the same tenacity with the Facebook application - an overhaul is WAY overdue.

 
 
Posted by mike340t Wednesday, May 19, 2010 736 days ago

Totally agree with FB... minimum at least integrated chat with the option to shut off chat would be the most awesome addition (to conserve battery and reduce annoyance lol)...

 
 
Posted by Kiddo_24 Wednesday, May 19, 2010 736 days ago

RIM did drop an announcement back in early April that a Facebook update was on its way May 31st. Haven't heard much of anything since then. I hope its still true. . .

 
 
Posted by waynetango Wednesday, May 19, 2010 736 days ago

I love my twitter for blackberry. Though i don't really post feedback cause i just do basic tweeting. I really like it though. especially to see what is popular and stuff and to see tags.

 
 
Posted by russ0813 Wednesday, May 19, 2010 736 days ago

I gave up on T4BB but just downloaded the update gonna give it another try.

 
 
Posted by 1darrick Wednesday, May 19, 2010 736 days ago

Go to the Blackberry Home Page from your device and download Twitter for Blackberry v 1.0.0.40

 
 
Posted by chuckcalo Wednesday, May 19, 2010 736 days ago

Loving the new features! However I would had loved if the old style RTs were available instead of "Quoting" also the ability to upload pics to services such as TweetPhoto / YFrog instead of just seeing the pics. Anyways I just deleted the Ubertwitter app. Loving this app so far.

 
 
Posted by BlackB_G Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

But it is the old style retweet mate. All u need to do is add RT at the beginning if u decide... same thing. Personally i wouldn't unless i wanted others to retweet it. Still shows the original tweeters @username and u can edit it b4 tweeting it.

 
 
Posted by r0cketman22 Wednesday, May 19, 2010 736 days ago

With the newly added features, this is now the best. The integration can't be beat.

Posted by Alpha Omega Wednesday, May 19, 2010 736 days ago

I think they still have a ways to catch up to Uber.

 
 
Posted by boman06210 Wednesday, May 19, 2010 736 days ago

Now....how about a Facebook for BlackBerry update!?!?

 
 
Posted by russ0813 Wednesday, May 19, 2010 736 days ago

Hey what does everybody set the settings in T4BB at?

 
 
Posted by rmcmann Wednesday, May 19, 2010 736 days ago

Loving the new features. The new mentions by clicking @ and having the following list pop up is fantastic. Glad to know they listened when we suggested!

*Now, if they'd just fix Facebook.

 
 
Posted by Alpha Omega Wednesday, May 19, 2010 736 days ago

That's good there listening to feedback. I just hope they did the same for the Facebook app.

 
 
Posted by AisforAustin Wednesday, May 19, 2010 736 days ago

They also added WiFi support. might wanna add that in.

 
 
Posted by tensioncore Wednesday, May 19, 2010 736 days ago

So when are they going to support storm?

Its horrible using an app made for a regular BB screen and no touch interface.

OMG
WTF?

 
 
Posted by GargoyleDC Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

It works on my Storm2.

 
 
Posted by jayuzi Wednesday, May 19, 2010 736 days ago

It now shows picture previews from Tweetphoto. Would really like it to give an unread/new tweet count next to the badge icon after it autorefreshes. That's probably the one thing that'll keep me on UberTwitter a while longer.

 
 
Posted by jayuzi Wednesday, May 19, 2010 736 days ago

Yeah. Additional photo viewing support is listed. I might actually read the full post before commenting next time.

 
 
Posted by PROB1 Wednesday, May 19, 2010 736 days ago

If your having trouble getting the update from the current Twitter app, try rebooting your device. Worked for me.

 
 
Posted by greybush Wednesday, May 19, 2010 736 days ago

I'm on a Storm 2 running 5.0.0.607 and I'm getting this error “907 Invalid COD”. I've tried a battery pull and I am sadly left with the same result. Anyone else having this or other problems? I have been running twitter 1.0.0.37 since its release with zero problems.

 
 
Posted by greybush Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

Just an update. I deleted 1.0.0.37 and then went to blackberry.com/twitterdownload and it worked like a charm. Hope this helps anyone else having similar probs.

 
 
Posted by Paradisemedicine Wednesday, May 19, 2010 736 days ago

Anyone know the shortcut for Qoute tweet? i coundn't find it

Thanks

 
 
Posted by sanchin22 Wednesday, May 19, 2010 736 days ago

I keep getting the 907 invalid cod error when i try to download this too. Weird.

 
 
Posted by nthnc Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

I'll definitely get this. I really like the current version and hope this one is even better.

 
 
Posted by archpopoy Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

Bell @ Vancouver Canada!

 
 
Posted by atlantaconda Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

Does this use less battery than uber? The quote tweets is just about all I needed to switch back and forth from uber now...I deleted it with the quickness because of that when the original beta came out.

 
 
Posted by bcjanes Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

On my Bold 9700 T4BB is much easier on the battery than UT is. Seesmic is also very easy on the battery, I'd say it's better than T4BB in that department.

 
 
Posted by 2thdoc73 Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

Nice to see the T4B application getting updated quickly. Please update the FB app!!

 
 
Posted by Art_Vandelay Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

It seems I've lost the ability to enter tweets from "My Messages", or any other application for that matter... with this update. I no longer have the Twitter option in the Menu bar. Anyone else having this issue? Is it now a configurable option that I don't know about?

 
 
Posted by fstmstngs Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

Now how about updating their crappy FaceBook app?!?

 
 
Posted by mi_canuck Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

Definitely is now the best Twitter client... Just updated... It's awesome... Uber what? Lol

 
 
Posted by armon_p Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

Auto complete and edit retweets? nice to see them listening. Goodbye UberTwitter

 
 
Posted by DrSnooze Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

Yeahhh that what all of us were waiting for!!

thans BB team!

 
 
Posted by GargoyleDC Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

I would love to see the ability to use twitlonger with this program, this is why I don't use it currently. I also like Ubertwitter's ability to track back the "In Reply To" options.

 
 
Posted by BlackB_G Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

But of course u can... just navigate to and highlight the "in reply to @username" and click on it. It will open the tweet history. Even before the update T4BB did this.

Don't really care about twitlonger cos if u need more than 140 words.. ur doing too much.

 
 
Posted by BlackB_G Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

Just deleted Ubertwitter wooohooo. All I need now is geotagging enabled and i'm straight!

 
 
Posted by kirnkorner2001 Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

I'm using it on a Tour, and it kills my 1XEV connection (no data after that). I've tried different things to make sure it's the Twitter client, and it always leads back to that.

Does anyone have that problem?

Does the update fix that?

 
 
Posted by RJSilva Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

The addition of username autocomplete plus editable retweets (quotes) is all I wanted really. If on top of that you add TweetPhoto support then it's really time to say good bye to Über Twitter...or is it? Well, I may not delete UT from my device just yet. Not until RIM adds multiple account support is at least.

 
 
Posted by armon_p Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

I'd like to see support for 1) twit longer or at least break tweets into 2 different posts 2) a faster way of jumping to the last post you read b4 refreshing 3) autorefresh when opening the app

I don't care much for multiple accounts but I can see why ppl do

 
 
Posted by MeanieBeanie Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

They still haven't fixed the original fault in that when you open it up, it opens at the top of the timeline and not the bottom or where you last left it as other twitter apps do.

For that reason it gets relegated to the rarely used apps folder.

 
 
Posted by richlallen Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

all this lets me do is quote tweets... which is kinda stupid... i want to click ReTweet, then be able to type in that box and it doesnt let me...

am i the only one??

 
 
Posted by KayKay000 Sunday, May 23, 2010 732 days ago

Me too..am i doing something wrong?

 
 
Posted by Propa Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

Were those fixes mentioned in the post supposed to be on .40 because I haven't seen a difference!

*CORREWCTION ...I spoke to soon....I guess it took a minute for my app to start working correctly

 
 
Posted by Muddy13 Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

The two best new features are the ability to edit retweets and the ability to email tweets.

There are too manytimes I see a web based article I would like to read, but don't have the time and would like to email to myself and read at my convenience. Couldn't do this before, but now you can. This is now the best Twitter app out there.

 
 
Posted by devGOD Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

just need multiple account support like a few people have said

 
 
Posted by ryanchristopher Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

There should be an update where it leaves off from the last tweet you read when you open the app back up. It kinda sucks where it shows the most recent and you have to scroll down opposed to up (so you can read the tweets in order).

 
 
Posted by Pureinsanity212 Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

No More "Encoutered a Problem" errors. lol. And noticed it's wicked faster than it used to be.. Nice update.

 
 
Posted by lector Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

can u choose for tweetphoto in this build?

 
 
Posted by mystiphi Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

I've noticed a substantial decrease in battery life since installing T4B's update (was using ubertwitter before). Has anyone else had this problem?

 
 
Posted by gbooster Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

I tried to ask Blackberry support about how they want to deal with something like 'draft' support, because I'm losing tweets when Twitter is down/failwhale or other error occoured.

So, when I tweet something and it can't be delivered to Twitter, my tweet (or DM,or reply etc.) is lost.

Is this fixed in the new beta? Blackberry support didn't understand what I meant..

 
 
Posted by DrSnooze Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

Hi all! i have a quesetion.. in version 1.0.37 i had setted to refresh once an hour, but i dont know why, the twitter clinet, refresh on the go, and even the twitts arrives earlier to my BB rather than to Tweetdeck. But with this release, that doesnt happend. I have to set a time to refresh the twitts. Anyone know if that was an issue in 1.0.37 that was solved now?

 
 
Posted by needforspd Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

the editing of retweets is why I kept UT loaded. Now I wont need both loaded anymore....

twitter id: dos_xx_drinker

 
 
Posted by stoneland Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

I don't understand why so many people want Twitlonger support? As many have said, the point of Twitter is to send SHORT messages out, not a blog posting. If you need more than 140 characters then Twitter is obviously not for you. Stick to a blog, even a simple one like Tumblr.

There are dozens upon dozens of URL shorteners out there, and almost 100% of the time you can abbreviate or use different words to make a tweet fit in 140 characters or less. I highly doubt Twitter for BlackBerry will get Twitlonger support...as it completely goes AGAINST the point of Twitter. UberTwitter has it probably because it can get away with it (meaning, it's not developed by RIM--it's totally "third-party"), but the "official" Twitter for BlackBerry app...not likely. Heck, the web interface doesn't even support it, and Twitlonger is in no way affiliated with Twitter.

Learn to tweet properly.

 
 
Posted by russ0813 Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

Does anybody know if this program runs in the backround if you hit close to end it? also in the options it says tweet refresh in backround is that when the program is running when you hit end to exit it? What does everybody set theyre options @ to make it run good but not kill the battery?
Thanks

 
 
Posted by xsashagirl Thursday, May 20, 2010 736 days ago

No matter what I do, I cannot login to this application. I've also tried both beta versions. At every attempt, I get an error message that my password/userid is incorrect. I know my credentials are correct because I stay logged into Twitter all day online and on my Android phone. So I'm pretty confident that I know both my login id and password.

I like the new updates however I just would like to see different skins, that blue cloud background is really boring. Maybe a black theme or something a little more macho

Quicker Refresh, 5 minutes is a lifetime. Twitlonger is a must.

 
 
Posted by isaac976 Saturday, May 22, 2010 734 days ago

I have to admit, I had switch from Seesmic to TT4B and it was great, I happen to chance upon Proximity search under search where you can actually search for ppl twitting nearby, It use to work in the older version but now after the forced update it just keep saying locating and it never ends,
If anyone finds out how to trouble shoot this, do let me know, I have removed and reinstalled as what BBhelp in twitter suggested, still no luck ! Appreciate it.
