Ultimate Twitter Client Roundup Bonus Round: Video First Look at Official Twitter for BlackBerry Smartphones App

WOOO-HOOO!! lol

I've been waiting forever for a twitter client released by bberry!!

<3 tonks

hey, this the way to go. i cant wait to add my twitter name (apple3r) to this bb application. Waitinggggggggg.

I can't wait to add my twitter ID (brlay) to this. Nice to see client from twitter

follow me on Twitter @mybbgroupdotcom A social site for BB users that use their BBM 5.0 Group feature. Create and Join Groups with ease.

Umm it doesn't let me watch the video from my storm. It just keeps reloading the page when I click to watch the video.

Thirds!!!

the no cache for icons is pretty bad in my opinion. looks pretty good other than that though.

I cant wait to have a CrackBerry.

If they get the bugs worked out. would be nice to have address book intergration too.

No notifications for @ replies ? I think I'll stick with UberTwitter for now.

Oh and Adam, this time you spoke well and clearly. Good! :D

@aaronmatthies i would love to check this out looks like tweeteev has waited to long and wont make the cut

Being an Alpha/early Beta I had no expectations but I am happy they do it;RIM is doing an app for Blackberry and that's all that matters. I do miss the Lists and I hope they implement it soon. But it seems really rich.I'll be waiting:)

Thanks!!

Looks like a nice program!

@AP_2Ls...

@spenchey

by the way you where talking about it, it doesnt seem at all up to the standards of other twitter clients however i think the UI is lovely so i will probably download it just for that reason when it is officially released for everyone :)

@DTech_Update
Would love a beta code. The UI is amazing, really different from RIM's usually simple designs

going for the win, too!

For some reason I can't watch the video from my Storm 2.

@gustiniano
thanks !

i want one of this pleaseeeeeeee¡¡¡¡

Meh......Granted it is Beta, but that load time was painfully slow. I could go over to my Kuerig and brew up 3 cups of coffee in that time.

Layout is nice, but on anything other than the Storm series, the real estate is quite small.

Uber not likely to be knocked off for me. I'll try it, but may not stick.

@coachc_51

@i_stacey

Who have pin BB. ?

This has got to be the single most exciting thing I could ever win

@beeziefied

Looking forward to moving to the official BB/Twitter App!
Looks good. I want, I want, I want.
@Cowifornia

Sweet (@jezzman18)

but I have no complaints for UberTwitter so it will have to take something real special to get me to switch. Especially to a new App that is bound to have issues.

you should shoot me a code because i'm new to this site....then i'll tell everyone how awesome CrackBerry is!!

Way way way too much twitter on this site

hey..it shows my tweet to u adam :) on the vid..

Looks good.

Nicely done! Does it support Lists or retweets ("official" and old-school)?

Finally a Blackberry native Twitter app. Now if only AT&T doesn't bundle it with their phones so I cannot download the latest upgrades, like they did with Facebook and MySpace.

I have been waiting for this one!

This would go perfect with my new 9630 that doesn't have 5.0 os yet thanks to verizon lol

I am confused, every previous post that I have read about the RIM BB Twitter client has said that one of its features would be support for Push. However, your video indicates that there is a setting for the frequency with which the client will pull tweets. To my mind, the whole basis for the attractiveness of the BB native clients is the Push functionality built-in. All the IM clients have it, Facebook has it. I was truly expecting the Twitter client to have it and I am astonished that it does not. Really, the lack of Push makes the brain itch.

Absent Push notifications what really separates this from the many alternatives?

I would love to try out the twitter for BB. I use Ubertwitter now and am excited that there will be an actual twitter app. Pick Me

cool.. i want to get it !

please..one code!!!!

I want an invite code. @bplifefitness

Invite here!

Now that its out, I'm not too impressed... The main thing I look for in a Twitter app is speed, mention notifications, and clean interface.
But, to be fair, I only seen the video and might have a change of mind once the final version is released.
I would still like to get my hands on this and test it out.
@MikeBoodoo

This will be my twitter client.

jalil10032@

If it is still available I would like a chance to test it out!

@m1ndovermatter

from the BB Blogs
"Head to www.blackberry.com/twitter and sign up to receive notification when Twitter for BlackBerry smartphones is available to all via open public beta later this year."

Later this year? Really? I knew it wouldn't be out of private beta in a week or anything but the closest date we get is "later this year"...so knowing RIM and how they push out apps; maybe by December.

What is the icon next to gmail icon ? Like a chat app but i never saw it, can somebody tell me please ?

The app looks great, I am wondering why there is no push technology with the app but again, it is a RIM app so I will use it. Would love a invite code. I know it will be slow this is just a beta but it will get better.

What does it use for multimedia hosting?

I would like to be invited to beta :) Twitter: mwohrlin

I would love an invite!

Hopefully they will listen to the users and update their client to satisfy the majority. I do think they should cache like many of the other clients do to load up speed times. I'm guessing every time you load up the application it's going to have to grab the information again, which will probably use battery. But, I'm looking forward to giving it a try.

Anyway.. i hope they implement it on the near future

is

lame

i wouldnt mind testing this

Deffinatly would love to have a BB twitter instead of a afm one. looks good. *crosses fingers* hope i get one.

looks cool, would love to try it

Looks like it'll be worth a try.

@ale_liam

According to the inside blackberry blog http://blogs.blackberry.com/2010/02/inside-twitter-for-blackberry-applic... there is push notification for direct messages only.

All RIGHT! Lets hope this IS the ultimate twitter client!

@ovimp3

Thanks guys for the great contest!

My favorite feature is the ability to create tabs and the list features.

Good luck to all and thanks Crackberry for this contest!

Twitter name: JNSJr

The twitter app should be fast also it would be nice if it would let you you know when you had Direct messages and @ replies without giving you everyone elses tweets at the same time @gslim

Yay nice start, can't wait to take a look!

My twitter ID is UCBearcats

Thanks!

ubertwitter is much better and this will run terribly slow just like facebook

@zookoh gotta have a code so I can update all of my tweeps out there!

I'd love the opportunity to beta test this program. It looks like it has a ton of potential!

@objio

Asked those nice chaps at RIM to send me a code, they asked for my PIN and hey presto i got one!

Downloaded and installed and i have to say that i have had no issues whatsoever with the speed. Its fast for me!

Count me in for a tester...

WANT!

@marker580

I got my very own copy of it last night and have been using it all day. I also have two extra activation codes that I'm giving away on Examiner.com. http://afx.cc/cuh

When you consider all the development resources that RIM has at its disposal and the length of time that has already gone into this app, you'd have to say that it is a very poor effort. If I could single out just one thing, why is push delivery only used for DM? I would hazard a guess that the vast majority of Twitter users don't really use DM at all. Surely it is push delivery of tweets and replies that people wanted for that near real-time "BlackBerry experience" with all the attendant benefits this brings to battery life and data charges. The Twitter Streaming API is now in production and I imagine RIM's data centre has more than enough spare CPU resources and network bandwidth to accommodate it. So there really is no excuse why this app shouldn't be using push for everything (apart from handling tweets from users who have checked the "Protect my tweets" option in their profile).

Well.. hoping this isnt a rerun of SS with the 'invite only' system...

twitter name is F18Sim

Like everyone else has said, the load times and cluttered splash page UI need to be improved, but I like the way it's headed. And push notifications will be awesome. Send me an invite, pleeeease! (@edtonn)

that they said put your Twitter name in the OTHER blog for a chance to win a code? NOT this one...

Id like one for my tour please.

I'm all about Twitter! I have my own plus I run the Twitter accounts for 4 Beatles related websites!

I'd love to Beta test the Official RIM Twitter Client!!!!

Pick Me, Pick Me..... PLEEZE!!!!!

Can't wait for the app, Let's go RIM!!!

I'm impatiant to win!!!!! Let's go @presean

http://www.theiexplorers.com/Twitter/twitter.jad

I wonder what will happen to the likes of Ubertwitter, socialscope, twitberry etc.

http://www.theiexplorers.com/Twitter/twitter.jad

Please!!

This sounds like a great app. I would like to have it for my Blackberry. Maybe I will be lucky and win.

Yes, I'm serious. It appears to work only on OS 5.0 so far. It leaked about a half hour ago...

java.lang error.

I can't wait to try it!

can't wait to try it

anyone d/l it but can't find the icon?

Ooh I can't wait to try @arm_candy is my name and twitting is my game

neato!

but I downloaded the .jad file to my computer, can anyone point me in the right direction to install that file on my phone? PM me if you can!!

thanks!

this is sweet would love to beta test it!

Did anyone even watch the video? This app looks terrible. It took forever to load, doesn't support lists, and doesn't give alerts. Game over.

@prettyfacejess hope its better than Uber! =]

@prettyfacejessy hope its better than Uber! =]

@prettyfacejessy hope its better than Uber! =]

@prettyfacejessy hope its better than Uber! =]

great news for RIM users, lets try it to see if really worth it to change our twitter client.

Hey it's cool. Although there r so many twitter client out there I wonder which one is the best? Maybe we needed our own for BB users.

I would like to try it out and form my own opinion so hopefully I get chosen for an invite.

Pretty please!

I'm a good tester and I always give stuff back to CB when I have things to share like SocialScope invites/etc!

Pick me Pick me!

I tweet to share media, my thoughts, and to see news in real time. please hit me up with this beta: @derrtysky

@cynomynstick. I would love to be able to search my friends and actually have an app find them. Xo

http://www.theiexplorers.com/Twitter/TwitterDesktop.zip

worked for me

I have been waiting so long for this! Don't like any of the Twitter clients out there. So hoping this one finally wraps all the features into one neat package!

I've been using the same version of SocialScope for several months now with no updates, no changes & no problems/bugs and its still in private beta. I'm ready to try a new app that I can watch grow and change (hopefully) into an incredible native twitter app! Bring it on!

I would absoluley love to get an invite code. This is awesome!!

Hopefully I'll be getting one of the passwords!

There's a missing module in the .jad file. Use the .zip files and do it the long way. Voila!

Happy to say I got into the beta and have had a chance to try the app out. Not bad, but it really really reeeeeaaaaallllyyyy needs list support.

I'm a uber user. would love to see how the BB app compares

They've GOT to add push notifications. Other than that I'm liking it. Definitely a lot nicer looking than the FUGLY UberTwitter.

That is all!!

Tweeting since 9/27/07 (@dannymartinez) I am super excited to have a dedicated twitter app for BB. It's been a long time coming! It would be an honor to be a part of the beta test group!

@bucsfanbryan

can you NOT retweet with this? I don't see it anywhere.

Awesone !!! i love twitter but i need the code :(

You can see people's chain of discussion - all of their 'in reply to' with OTHER PEOPLE. That didn't use to be the case... interesting. Not sure if I like that. Ah well... if you say it on Twitter, it's not private anyway. lol

tweet this! @patches219

I wanna try it out!!!

This seems like an awesome app

Leaked OTA links don't fully install the app. Gotta do the desktop download/install (http://tinyurl.com/ykhdmlr). All in all, I know its not "released" yet, but not impressed. No RT's, no push @replies, no shortcut keys. Options are minimal, UI could be cleaner and more customizable etc. Play around. See what u think.

For me it's the best twitter client I've ever used. I've installed a few days ago and this program does what is supposed to do. I've been hearing a lot about sluggishness and slowness, but sincerely I haven't notice any of that. Look and feel is twitter, good speed of refresh, notifications. Everything I have been waiting for on an original Blackberry Twitter client. No complaints here.

I downloaded this first thing this morning

My first impressions are pretty good to be fair,and mine is running ALOT quicker than what is being shown on the video uploaded by Adam,maybe thats because im in the UK,im not too sure but its as quick as ubertwitter refreshing on my Bold 9000 device anyway

Well worth checking out if you havent done so yet,and remember with it only being a beta so far,it will get alot better once RIM have sorted out its little problems
