If ÜberTwitter is the Twitter client you fancy you'll wanna be sure to grab the latest release from their download page. Version 0.933 contains many bug fixes and improvements over the previous beta release that is sure to please many users out there. Some of the changes are:
- Map Provider - Allow users to select either MapQuest (default) or BlackBerry maps to display users locations. User action to retrieve a map You now have to click the ‘Retrieve Map’ button after opening a tweet in order for the map to be retrieved. This will result in substantially lower bandwidth requirements and improved battery life.
- UberChannel date display bug fix - Fixed a bug where tweets in UberChannel streams had the date incorrectly displayed.
- Resetting tweets to retrieve bug - Fixed bug where on an upgrade the number of tweets to retrieve would reset to 60.
- Highlight color in Midnight Theme bubble layout - The highlight color in the Midnight theme when using the bubble layout is now much easier to discern.
- Text Ad color - We changed the color of the text ads to conform to the them colors. The ads are still clearly marked as an advertisement.
- GPS Radio Activation - The GPS radio will now only be activated when you open the compose tweet screen IF you have selected to use the GPS radio to determine location. This should greatly reduce battery drain, but may result in the location mechanism falling back to the cell tower method on some occasions.
Keep in mind folks, this release of ÜberTwitter is still beta so be sure to send off any feedback you may have for the release. The download is available via their website and will support devices all the way up to BlackBerry 6.

Haven't tried UT in a long time. I guess I'm an "official BlackBerry" snob.

If you haven't tried it within the last year, it's gone through MAJOR changes in the UI recently. Check it out, it's like a completely different app now.

Me neither 312. I like having the official apps. I may give this a try though just to see the improvements.

I just love it, I would love it even more if they added the ability they removed before, to switch over the API to any twitter-like service such as identi.ca, something I use daily when I overrun twitter and the limit gets exceeded. Once they put it back, I don't have to use a desktop client or the native/bolt browser to update my status anymore :D
Deeply impressed on the new minor improvements and features. Still waiting on the API change to be reinstated.

UT, like everything BlackBerry related, works best on the SurePress enabled Storm line of phones.

I do like Ubertwitter, but I'm still going to stick with Twitter for Blackberry. UT seems to drain my battery - even if my refresh is set to 1 hour.

This application has been around for far too long, and with far too many updates to still consider itself beta. The developers need to stop hiding behind that label already...

My thoughts exactly!

This is hands down my favorite Twitter app for Blackberry. UT rules, I can't use any other one.

I don't really like the UI, pretty ugly. Will stick to SocialScope meanwhile =/
