Mentions pushing isn't as instant as it was, it has some delay, and apparently they nuked the shortcuts (ex: alt+1 for replies tab, alt+2 for messages tab, ..etc) which was pretty handy. Oh well, the UI is pretty good looking tho.

 
 
Posted by Albert62 Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

They are working for me.. :)

while i'm starting to get familiar with the UI i don't like the new icon i prefer the last icon

but that's just me.

 
 
Posted by rkopsie Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

Yeah, the new icon seems skinny to me, looks odd I prefer the last icon better & also its not transparent as before

 
 
Posted by theninjasquad Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

It doesn't really have any new features per say. It's just an update to some of the navigation and UI.

 
 
Posted by pfe1223 Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

I welcome the darker theme. I can't stand staring into a white or light colored screen. Of course, I am just now getting used to Social Feeds, so I don't know if I will go back to separate FB and Twitter apps.

Ugh. The screenshot above of what's trending, it has Ian Beale. A soap character in a British soap. So embarrassing that it's trending worldwide :)

 
 
Posted by alsawa2 Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

I installed it and it's so great

 
 
Posted by jfs101 Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

I like the pulling down the screen to refresh interface. Press T to get to the top, then pull down for a refresh...

 
 
Posted by AbuYazeedUK Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

Does it let you tweet longer than 140 characters?

 
 
Posted by Jflint66 Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

nope 140 is the limit but i seen it was brought up

 
 
Posted by bforbaker Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

That is a Twitter feature not an app feature.

 
 
Posted by simonstark Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

RIM should have bought SocialScope. It's THE best social app on any platform, period.

 
 
Posted by vishalsheth83 Friday, May 06, 2011 387 days ago

I disagree. I really like Social Scope for the ability to have twitter, foursquare, and Facebook all in one app, but as they say, a jack of all trades is a master in none, and that's what social scope is. For convienience, SS works, but in the end, the native Facebook and foursquare apps are still better and Issimo is the best twitter client with Twitter for BlackBerry being second place. Convienience is one thing, quality is another.

 
 
Posted by joeberrymomma Monday, May 09, 2011 383 days ago

SocialScope is good. I have it, yet, if they really want to be a player, come out of private Beta already! What has it been two years now? SS has its limitations, however, the ability to update my status on FB and Twitter at the same from anywhere on the device, is great as well as the ability to set-up user tabs. What RIM is really missing out on is a Linkedin application. The one by Linkedin is marginal and not very well integrated. Bundle LI, FB and Twitter in Social Feeds ya got a power house!

 
 
Posted by SC457 Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

Better then the last one but still not on par with Über, they need to add something so you can start at the last tweet you saw instead of jumping to the top as well as something to know which ones you've already looked at.

 
 
Posted by DustBow Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

Agreed - until they learn to "keep your place" in the feed list I won't use it.

 
 
Posted by Dips Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

Yep, I'm waiting for this too. I'm sure quite a few others are as well.

 
 
Posted by joeberrymomma Monday, May 09, 2011 383 days ago

Yup, SocialScope has this option. Beta Beta though!

 
 
Posted by kellidotca Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

Why does RIM refuse to incorporate multiple user accounts? So frustrating!

 
 
Posted by Coachbulldog Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

I also wonder why. Makes no sense to have a feature that every other 3rd party Twitter app includes.

 
 
Posted by DrLouie Friday, May 06, 2011 387 days ago

This is the one thing that I think is really missing from T4BB.

 
 
Posted by tumblingdice03 Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

I liked the last beta and so far ok with this one. I can't seem to find the quote a tweet option in this one yet though. Looks nice and no lag yet as I saw at times when closing the last version.

 
 
Posted by AnotherParakeet Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

Go to where you retweet. There's two options, one for quoting and another for retweeting.

 
 
Posted by theasianberryy Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

I don't know why it's happening to me, but for some reason I can't log into the Beta Zone on my BB browser....is anyone having the same problem and know how to fix it?

 
 
Posted by louboutins Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

I love it! I really like the colours too. Didn't like how I couldn't view my own profile from the top nav, but that's no biggie.

 
 
Posted by rkopsie Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

I have the Tour 9630 & this runs GREAT on it!.. Its super fast & runs smoothly!.. I recommend you download this / much better than the current official release!.

 
 
Posted by tumblingdice03 Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

Thank you AnotherParakeet!

 
 
Posted by WizzX Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

Why is this app still not allowing you to tweet longer than 140 characters using one of the providers?! - I see no reason to switch from socialscope to this until they have done so... I won't even bother trying it till then

 
 
Posted by joeberrymomma Monday, May 09, 2011 383 days ago

I am limited to 140 characters on SS tweets. What am I missing?

 
 
Posted by RossyBoy92 Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

Got it and looks much nicer, didnt have to enter the activation key though :S

Follow me and ill follow back @Ross_Scott

 
 
Posted by BlueandWhiteBerry Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

Is there a way of changing trending topics from worldwide to country specific?

 
 
Posted by Mark1108 Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

It looks great! Can someone please help me with a BB-betazone account? I live in the Netherlands and they do not allow me to create an account... @mark1108 & 22A68BF8

 
 
Posted by velkcro Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

make a fake account and it should work

 
 
Posted by velkcro Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

sorry for the double post

 
 
Posted by LatinoLoco24 Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

Why still no option to see who has retweeted you? Or to see what you've retweeted?

 
 
Posted by Jleeblanch Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

I like the update! But then again, I like when anything gets an update lol ;)

The new redesigned Nav-Bar and UI are a welcome change in my opinion. It did take a minute to get used to the updated icon. Not that it's really much different, it's just a little skinnier but I like it!

Also, one thing I noticed right off is how much smoother the scrolling is in the Timeline (on a Torch).

Beyond that, I can't wait for some more updates :D

 
 
Posted by BBFTW88 Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

Giving this a go... I'm usually an avid uber user.

Those who are complaining about T4BB not keeping their place in the timeline, when you open the app, quickly highlight the tweet at the top- that's you last read. The timeline will then refresh above that tweet.

 
 
Posted by pdelong Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

Or we could just use uber and not have to quickly rush to the last tweet we read before it's too late.

 
 
Posted by jem9777 Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

Or if you leave T4BB running in the background, it will always remember your last read tweet whenever you switch back. I have mine set to never update in the background (it updates automatically when you switch back) and there is no noticeable battery drain doing this.

 
 
Posted by brento Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

I like it so far..

 
 
Posted by pdelong Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

UberSocial is still the better twitter client. The official still can't even hold my place in the timeline when I close it.

 
 
Posted by djdazm Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

It does if you use the "End Call" button and not the "Back" button, I believe.

Im liking the new twitter, but what is up with the keyboard when typing a search for a new TT??

On the Storm2

Its wierd with numbers and only 5 letters

Im Confused?

 
 
Posted by BiG BaLLA 923 Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

I don't like the UI....kinda want to go back @BiGBaLLA 923

 
 
Posted by doubleaa25 Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

I still have not got myself fully aquainted with the new Twitter yet, but it is nice and worth the update.

 
 
Posted by yobecks Thursday, May 05, 2011 387 days ago

I just downloaded, and it didnt ask for a keycode, just went straight to the application. Something to worry about?

 
 
Posted by chefnilla Friday, May 06, 2011 387 days ago

I'll be "that guy". Downloading now.

 
 
Posted by Locksheema Friday, May 06, 2011 387 days ago

For some reason (I can't remember why), I moved over from the BB Twitter app to UberSocial. Which one would you recommend, BB Twitter 2 or UberSocial? I do prefer Uber to BB Twitter 1. Thanks for any recommendations

 
 
Posted by jnmnml Friday, May 06, 2011 387 days ago

soo gray, soo sad. :(

 
 
Posted by T3ch_Fr3ak Friday, May 06, 2011 387 days ago

Twitter for blackberry is still playing cathcup after all these updates, not really feeling the new color scheme & the new icon, plus barely any serious new features ... if ubersocial were to ever get push notifications RIM could just throw in the towel

 
 
Posted by carrickfergus Friday, May 06, 2011 387 days ago

Why can't they darken the tweet that you're reading more than just that off-white tinge? I can never tell unless I look at the highlighted avatar. SocialScope is still king. The one thing I like about SS vs. Uber (aside from FB/Twitter consolidation) is that on a retweet, it shows the avatar of the original tweeter with a small insert of the retweeter. It's cool and I don't think I've ever seen it in any other twitter app.

I do like the updates to the native Twitter app, but I still prefer Ubersocial.

Posted by jrsc109 Friday, May 06, 2011 387 days ago

Loving the new UI. Nice and crisp and clean.

Would love to have multiple account supported.
Would also like to accept follow requests from the app. It's a pain having to go to the website to review and accept.

Also - can anyone see the difference between Stripes and Bubbles? They both look the same to me.

Otherwise; I'm enjoying it.

 
 
Posted by BBFTW88 Friday, May 06, 2011 387 days ago

Back to uber for me. No where near as quick. Decided I'm not even going to bother trialling any more versions of T4BB

 
 
Posted by Gamesdmc3 Friday, May 06, 2011 386 days ago

Never used it since i didn't sign up for twitter until Crackberry.com had the playbook contest,will half to try it out,it looks nice

 
 
Posted by mundakal Friday, May 06, 2011 386 days ago

I installed this app and rebooted after install was completed. The twitter icon is missing. I can go into the applications list and see it listed but no icon. I have done a soft reset as well as a battery pull - no luck yet. I tried a different theme again NO LUCK. Any ideas to help me!

 
 
Posted by CrackMachine Sunday, May 08, 2011 385 days ago

Have the same issue :-(

 
 
Posted by OutlandMoro Sunday, May 08, 2011 385 days ago

Loving this new version of twitter. Alot more smoother than the previous laggy versions. Nice to see network icons too. Interface is sweet. It would be good if you could see the time aswell at the top. Always room for improvement I guess.

 
 
Posted by lxhxxnxxx Friday, May 20, 2011 373 days ago

anyway i can set the time to refresh new tweets > 1hour?
