Twitter for BlackBerry Beta v1.0.0.37 Leaked

Off the bat I think UberTwitter looks more appealing.

as mentioned its alot faster, and seems to load more tweets at a time, they still need to go lower than every 5 mins though.

now patiently waiting for BBM 5.0.1 leak :)

I have been testing since it came out...and I love it. It does everything I need, with a great CLEAN look to it. Uber started looking too "free" and not professional anymore

EDIT**
This version ROCKS. The new features to update your profile, picture, lists, and replies is awesome! This is the best I have ever used.

Its a million times faster too! AWESOME!

Im a big twitter fan, and this is very fun! @jbenkelman

Tried the RIM twitter app and I still think SocialScope is the best app out there.

have SocialScope as well...think that if they do not update soon though, their features will be old. Something that is missing in the BB version - insert URL / and the chat feel of DMs like Social has it.

Since I was expecting to try the beta BBM today (date got pushed up).

UberTwitter vs BBTwitter is the test for today

But it would be perfect if it allowed more than one account.

You still can't edit the retweet which is minor I guess for what else has been fixed... But still it would of been a welcomed addition..

what the heck? do I need a beta key or something?

Trying to install using d/m and its telling me the applications isnt compatible with my device? I have tour running os 5.0?? Thx!

I think I still prefer UT for the option to edit a retweet. I like the interface though. Nice and clean.

UberTwitter is better

Just tried to update my previously leaked install of Twitter for Blackberry. Followed the link, chose OS 4.5, and was asked if I wanted to update 1.0.0.28 to 1.0.0.28.

Any luck on the higher OS versions?

Aside:
I too used UberTwitter for a time, but found that my battery life was affected, and it seemed to chew through a lot of memory. I've found the RIM client to be much better on both, possibly due to the push nature of the updates. Of course ymmv, and even then you still may not like it if you are a Twitter power user.

Like somebody suggested before - RIM should've just bought Uber or SocialScope. Although the app seems to have improved, it's still has ways to go to measure up with Uber & SocialScope...

Just my opinion.

Been testing it since the first beta came out, now installing the newest version! :D

Prefer this to the previous beta release, still a bit ugly and could use a few more optimisations. Glad it now has mention notifications.

IMO TweetGenius > T4BB > UT

great look, great functions, i defintly luv it...

Sweet. Hopefully they won't disable it right away again.

I don't tweet that much,I check it a few times a day, but I don't keep it open or have alerts. I used UT for quite a while and just switched to Twit for BB and like it much better. Loads more quickly, almost no mem leak and it's much cleaner.

What I don't like about this twitter app is that when you type "@" it doesn't suggest names, like ubertwitter and social scope do.

As well as support for multiple accounts for businesses or people with a personal and business account.

...untill now!
I`v just d/l this one and am ecstatic from joy,liking it so much ...its slick and clean,if u ask me!
Try it..

Ok so I've been testing twitter for blackberry since it came out and I always felt the need to keep uber as a backup but as of now the new update is sooo sick lol I'm loving every minute of it the layout with the twitpic is nice the option to compose from the menu(via blackberry button) and the push of @replies is amazing all together I'm saying bye bye to uber for good

Seriously nobody else is getting the expired token thing?

Been using this all morning and its a lot faster than their first version. I will try it out a couple of days.

i dont tweet much, but i always like to check it a few times a day. this is good? memory and battery usage?

anybody esle unable to clear the "t" in thier home screen notification bar?

Period.

It has gotten better but my only remaining issue is that it doesn't integrate twitlonger into the interface like Uber does...I really like that when I tend to ramble on occasion

I didn't read through all the comments, but you now can be alerted when you get @replies

Installing now. I am so happy they added lists.

I'm all for Ubertwitter for now.
Anyone noticed an expired token for this?

wohoo..loving this..been using the previous beta...

Lack of editing to retweets alone pulled this down

Am I the ONLY person THAT cant install this..? WHAT gives?

I like it. I would love to continue if.... they had a shrink tweet option, tweetlonger and put the @ sign to show your friends. Pretty cool. Came along way.

It's MUCH faster now. I too have been testing this since the beginning officially, and this is more than likely my Twitter app of choice now. TG's UI is still tops to m features are lacking; UT has every feature imaginable, but does seem to look a bit ugly and "free" (lol). This app seems to be a near-perfect blend. (Excluding SC from this since they NEVER update and only like 100 of us have it)

I would love to see the Friend Picker (@___) suggestions and Edit Retweets function - I'm hoping that the reason we haven't seen them yet isn't because those are options that aren't available on the actual Twitter website itself, and as an "official" client/app they're staying completely true to the site. That would suck. These two additions (plus avatar zooming) would make this app perfect.

have installed and using it. really nice looking and way faster than ubertwitter. But, I still miss tweetlong feature in Ubertwitter. hope the official version comes with this. It's really nice so far, may be I will ditch Ubertwitter in a day or two. :-) This has got so neat look. well, that could be due to still in development and release phase. who knows... if they go to more commercial and starts including annoying ads in between at later time.

Does anyone know why when I open the app it doesn't refresh? I have to manually go to the menu and hit refresh. Is this an option at this point? I don't keep the app running all the time because these kill your battery but I like to close and then reopen like with Ubertwitter and it automatically refreshes. I have the check mark under refresh automatically but it doesn't seem to be working. Thanks in advance.

Have they made reading tweets available when offline yet? I am often out of my coverage zone and read in batches. Last version wouldn't even allow me to open the client if I didn't have a connection.

The update is awesome..
1. really like the cache enabled
2. also the font change feature..
3. @ mentions do not load every time.. the older tweets remain on the screen
4. definitely as fast as the other twitter apps

Hope they release this app soon with more features like tabs for lists, and push mentions ( notifications for mentions are available with this update which is good )

i have been using SocialScope for more than 5 months.. logged off SS after a long long time.. will use this one for sometime.

Download for 5.0 keeps failing for me.....

This app needs integration for @ suggestionsfor bit.ly or tinyurl, tweetphoto, and twitlonger. Also, not being able to edit retweets is lame. The UI is nice though.

When I travel , I don't want my app to work in the background because of roaming fees. How can I do that ? Can it be done ?

Since updating to the official Tour OS from Verizon my UT has not been letting me know when I have new tweets. It used to vibrate and flash the LED. Now nothing. Went through every setting on the phone and still nothing. UT is now deleted and using T4BB and love it. Clean simple and fast.

How come every application but this one allows for editing and commenting on Retweets? Which is why I hate using twitter.com.

Can anyone help? tried installing thru d/m and it says its not compatible w/ my device & I tried to install thru my sd card and it said missin file?? I have a tour 9630 running on a os 5.0?? Am I missing something??

Thx in advance?

It's so much faster and sleek! I'm loving this official Twitter client!

So far, I'm liking the leaked version. It's better than before, for sure, but I'm still going to be using UberTwitter as my main Twitter app. =/

how do you retweet. i see the option and its not allowing me to do it.

the download gives me a 404 error. Anyone else?

Much more screen real estate with the options of shrinking
tweet fonts and eliminating the update box and navigation bar. Has a very clean look to it.

I don't really tweet, just mainly use it to follow others. Having said that, I like this app. It's clean looking and seems to work well. It gets a "yes" from me.

i'm getting a HTTP error 500 internal server error

When I click on a link in a tweet I get the option "Open in Opera Mini" Twice, and the option "Open Link" twice.

Seems like the COD files were coming straight from RIMS content server. http://content.blackberry.com/mobileapps/twitter/1.0.0.37/For_5.0.0/net_...

They put a stop to that fast. Anyone has the COD files?

Has anyone already mentioned that they keep getting notified of "new" @replies only to realize they aren't new, just a refreshed page not recognized as being old?

It's getting a little annoying.

Loving the look and feel of it, so far, though.

I like the changes a lot. It works much better now. BUT I can't seem to RT out of it. The RT interface comes up but when I hit send it never shows up in the timeline. Please fix this and allow people to edit the RT before sending.

It still misses Tweets

it has a clean interface with nice options. However, i have become bored with the RIM interface on FB, MySpace and now, Twitter. Its nice , but it still has those same scroll issues that make it so that you may or may not be able to read the last line of posts. (same issue with FB app)

Its pretty easy to use and is pretty smooth, BUT still not better than Ubertwitter to me.

The Retweet option should of been fixed when it was being made. Tweetgenius until RiM gets things together with this.

Is it possible to close this app or does it run in the background all the time? I see that you can check mark to automatically refresh and there are time options but I closed the app and was still getting alerts every 5 min which I have it set too. I don't want this running in the background when I close out.

I'm loving this.

I get "Twitter services are currently unavailable" :/

I sure hope this works better than Facebook for BlackBerry...

I really like UT's option of adding a location to each tweet. I don't see this available on the beta. Anyone know if this exists and I'm just missing it?

This application seems great so far on my storm2. I would hope they add the following.

option to show posts youve retweeted
option to show someones timeline
option to use twit longer

Do it people!

App still got a long way to go. The @ mentions improved (I guess) although it was notifying me about mentions from ten hours ago. Hmmm

Add a friend picker so I don't have to memorize all the names, and let us add on to the retweets and maybe add twitlonger and I will leave uber!!!

I thought we were supposed to be able to change our profile? so far have not been able to do that... anyone had luck?

Is it just me or does this app rock?!? I prefer this way over UberTwitter. Very clean and colorful look.

So happy to get rid of Uber and its damn ads. Great app so far and I'm pretty sure it's only gonna get better.

still prefer Uber. The ads don't bother me at all or interfere with my experience. Twitter for BB is nice, but so far, not for me.

Uber and all of the other twitter apps I have used. This one might actually be a home run.

Everytime I open this app it says I have an @mention however they are all from days ago and i cant delete them...

da moment i started da app i sed to myself...dis is much better than ubertwitter...i quickly deleted ubertwitter...twitter for blackberry lets me twitpic witout the IT policy problem

Any of the above-mentioned problems because I actually had an official invite from RIM to begin with... Who knows.

All I know is this app is near-final version-ready. I would love to see a TwitLonger and FriendPicker feature, but (again) these aren't official Twitter features, so I won't be heartbroken if they never materialize. Editing RTs is simple enough with copy & paste if you just have to add your two cents.

If you find yourself constantly using TwitLonger anyway #youredoingitwrong and #talkingtoodamnmuch

but since when did social scope start doing a friend picker when u type the "@" symbol? uber does it but social scope has never done that for me.

as far as this twitter client...i like the look and feel of it....it lacks some of the "powertwitter" features of uber but for the casual tweeter its perfect.

@blacktrenchwerk follow me!!!

I was using UBERTWITTER. BB Twitter is faster and has a much cleaner look and navigates better. Also, I love how it features the twitpic very large and faster. They only thing I see that it needs is the ability to sign in to mulitple accounts. I have a personal and a professional twitter profile and it would be great to switch between both. Other than that! I'm sticking with the RIM twitter app!

all the links are down :(

Just downloaded it, love it , it's fast and easy to use.

It looks at first like it may have had some issues but everything seem to be running fine right now. Smoooth!

I have purchased ubertwitter but the new BBT is soooo good. Loving it!

i installed the leaked beta today and i must say i'm impressed, the app is quick and nimble has a great layout and it just WORKS :] a few things i believe it needs is location-aware integration in tweets, also user profile pictures should be able to be enlarged seemlessly. also in the timeline there should be a caption under everyone's tweet displaying where the tweet was posted from: web, api, etc, and also a friend finder would be nice

Liking it so far and sticking with it. Pros: It’s very quick and doesn’t have the battery drain of Uber. It has a friendlier layout, no ads, ability to modify profile and you can save searches. Cons: I’m not wild about the green highlight color scheme and it doesn’t autopopulate with @. There’s no friends listing and I’ve not found a way to fully close the app. All in all, it’s a great beta though and already a very solid UT competitor. With a few updates, it’ll really take off.

Was so excited to download it but turned my 8900 v.4.6 into a brick!

-Mentions need to be pushed to inbox. It's able to in this version but all it says is "you have new mentions". I'd like to actually see the mentions as a conversation.
-Direct messages need to act like text messages(for us 5.0 users) and look as if it's a conversation.
-FRIEND SUGGESTION! I can't remember all of my friends exact names plus they change them once a month.

No option to add location to tweets?

over all i enjoy the layout and functionality of the new twitter program but there are a few features i think it is missing...

-the option to modify a retweet
-more setup options like disabling location tags
-a user list that can pop up when you go to @ or dm someone
-the option to accept/decline follow requests if your tweets are protected

for now i still prefer ubertwitter but its a good start. will be running both on my bb tour, and see what changes are made as you work towards an official release.

It seems to stop displaying the text I write after I mention two people on my 9700. For example, "@Twitter for @BlackBerry is great" would only show "@Twitter for @B" but it continues to write and sends the whole tweet if I update. The menu seems to be unresponsive when this happens as well. Anyone else able to recreate this bug? It also gives you two "Are yo sure you want to cancel?" windows, one in the Twitter app and one from the OS it seems.

The screencap is the old one ... lol I can't show the lists on your cap :(

I like it, a lot. Nice, clean look. Fast. I was a happy UberTwitter user previously. But I think I'm liking this better. One little complaint/request. With UberTwitter, I was able to close (not exit) out of the application then access it quickly by pressing & holding down the menu key to access apps that are still open. I wish I had the capability to do that with this app.

Why is it when I hit the link for 5.0 it sends me to another page and loops back to the same page I have to hit the link for? *confused* I cant just seem to select 5.0 and for it to download like it would normally?

uhh why is there no latest release for 5.0 english users??? wtf....

The speed of this app blows UT out of the water and has all the basic and some of the advanced features UT has. For the "light" and "moderate" twitter user this is a must have. For the advanced twitter user this is an almost must have. Love this more then UT. Nice work RIM.

just realized it doesn't offer the option to copy tweets like Ubertwitter does...I miss that

Why is this shown as 'official Twitter for BB' when it isn't a RIM product. Has RIM endorsed it?

loved ubertwitter. but im really likin this new one by RIM

I was using Ubertwitter before and it killed mt battery.
This upgraded version of Twitter for BlackBerry is almost perfect. Looks good, it's fast and has added the lists option. I think if it adds being able to view pictures that are uploaded from most popular sites it will be complete.
The integration into the BlackBerry OS makes this application work great!

Has anyone found the latest version (1.0.0.37) for OS 4.5?

i like the intergration of the twitter ap by rim but there are a few issues that i have yet to overcome. 1st problem is the inability to edit retweets like ubertwitter. other than that all the new and improved features of beta 1.0.0.37 seems to have fixed all the previous issues in the vesion before.

I like the idea of it, but it constantly shows that i have a notification when i dont and its only showing tweets from like 10 hours ago, even after i refresh and it shows the newest tweets if i close it and then open it back up they all vanish and im back to looking at tweets from 10-15 hours ago.

I'm really interested in the link for OS 4.5 please! I love this app.

Link for OS 4.5 version, anyone?

I still have to use UT to be able to have this feature. I travel all tbe time and this is an important feature for me.

I Select the option not to refresh yet it still refreshes. What gives

i down loaded the 4.6 to my storm it says it exists in applications but i cant use the program any advice?

I have the files but I can't post to the forum if you want them send a pm or bbm me

I have the files for 4.5 but I can't post to the forum if you want them send a pm or bbm me @ 30341733

To be useful, it has to be quicker then 5 minutes. The every 1 minute refresh is the only way to go. 5 minutes is a eternity on twitter.

Okay. I've deleted UberTwitter and Twiextreme. Both were good, but this is so integrated with the push feature that I'm loving it. It's like the Facebook and Myspace apps, you can be out of the program, but still get the new notifications. I'm telling you, if Blackberry could just get their UI overall tweaked, then they'd be set.

Also, I would like the Facebook app and Myspace app to have the smooth scrolling this one does. It's almost like the kinetic scrolling seen on touch screens.

WCM

I downloaded the software 5.0.0 to my desktop but I cannot figure out how to get it onto my Bold

I keep getting these dumb @mentions when I don't have any? Okayy

my friend and i both downloaded the twitter beta v1.0.0.28 and we loved it, i installed it on my bb 8330m, but when i tried to access it, it said that twitter services where not available yet. so what does that mean. i tried the 1.0.0.37 but the .cod files are not available. does anyone have them?

can someone pls!pls!pls! help me.installed to my S2 but didnt work..Batt pull done..still no luck!

Unless someone knows (confirms) it works on storm models I don't think it will because shouldn't it have a storm specific link instead of just OS specific

I have a S2 and it works on my device. So far no glitches. The Twitter alert notification only appears when I have a new notification. I like the fact that it isn't bogged down with numbers like some alerts and I can set how often I want it to refresh. I'm just a casual Twitter user so this works for what I need it for.

when I have a tweet selected (highlighted) and I refresh it goes to the newest tweet. So I loose my place and have to scroll down to find where I left off. Also if the tweet contains a picture I have click on the link and go to it. In ubertwitter it appears in the window. If

...you could shut down the app completely without having to logout as the guys at BBHelp old me to do ! They actually told me everything and the opposite...

I guess I'll just delete the app when I travel and download it back when I get home ... just to be on the safe side and not run a huge roaming bill .

Viigo has that option and I wish twitter would do the same.

Just had a brainwave guys so let me share my new found knowledge. Retweeting with the option to Edit on the T4BB is so easy.. and i think it beats copy and paste method.

1) When on a tweet u wanna re-tweet click on options like u normally would but instead of selecting "re-tweet".. select "Send To"

2) Select "Twitter"

3) Select "Tweet"

4) You'd have to type in the "RT" and the persons "@username" whose tweet you're re-tweeting.

5) you can also now type in whatever you wanna add in..

6)click on update

I realise it looks not as quick as just selecting the standard "re-tweet" but in actual use it is more or less. In addition this shows up in your timeline too just like Ubertwitter. Only difference is Ubertwitter (since its not an official app).. can do what it wants and call it a re-tweet.

All it's really done is copied the tweet and pasted it in as a new tweet but then putting in the "RT" and the @username of the original tweeter. Thats exactly what the "Send to" option on the official app does (but without the RT and "@username" which is obviously not an issue as u do intend on editing the original tweet anyway. RIM obviously did have it in mind and knew we would want it but had to stick to Twitter's specifications being the Official app.

All i need now is Geotagging enabled and Ubertwitter will get deleted.
