It hasn't been all that long since the initial release of Seesmic for BlackBerry. After having users submit bugs and requests a new version of Seesmic for BlackBerry is now available for Twitter users. At this time, we don't currently have a full change log since @loic is busy with LeWeb. Off the top though, font size is now adjustable and the notification icon no longer shows all the time. If you download the latest version let us know in the comments what has been updated folks, I'm sure you will find a few other changes as well.

Seesmic For BlackBerry Updated To Version 1.1.10
I downloaded the first seesmic version on my storm 2 and it worked great. Now with the update, the accelerometer response is very slow on my storm 2. For the first 10 mins or so, switching from landscape to portrait works fine, But then once you open up the app the accelerometer lags horribly. Sometimes it takes 3 or 4 seconds to switch from landscape to portrait. Is anyone having this issue as well. This is a great app but having issues with update
I still don't like the way they have the Replys and DMs as separate 'inboxes'. It's a little time consuming that every time I log on I have to go to options, scroll down and select the Replys(x), then do the same for DMs to clear it. I like the option to filter them out, but HAVEING TO select the filter to get the notifications to go away is annoying when I alreay can see them in my actual feed.
I'm waiting for them to get all the kinks ironed out because I like the UI much better than Ubertwitter.
Do you still have to Manual Refresh each time you go in the app or does it Auto Refresh like UT does?
Seismic or UberTwitter? Hmmm...
Tweet indicator doesn't work... I'm using latest version and notification icon still shows all the time.
Mine does the opposite. When I first log on it will show my last 20 @replys and my lone DM, but after I go to those I don't get any more @reply notifications. I had a few today that I definitely only saw because I went into the app, even though I have it set to refresh every 5 minutes.
it incorporates auto-text, which is awesome...no more typing mistakes. this thing honestly kills ubertwitter. there is no contest.
Downloaded it for my Curve 8330 but constantly getting a conection error/try again later message. I also agree with ucantcme73, I have to sign back in everytime I close out the program. Probably going to delete it and use Uber.
Glad to see they fixed the notification icon bug.
Ah, I spoke too soon! They give you an option in the settings to change the font size!
I wish they'd make the font a bit bigger. I love the layout of the Seesmic client, but I have to hold my phone about 5 inches from my face or else I can't read it without feeling like I'm straining my eyes.
on this new version you can change the font to small, medium, or large :)
I noticed that option about a few minutes after I posted this. Haha.
UberTwitter supports lists, trending topics. And Google talk statuses, not to mention its' nearly as "pretty" as Seesmic . . . The only advantage seesmic had prior to the uber twitter update . . . Going to delete it now. . .
This is probably the best twitter client ive used...Fo sho..
Very Good looking application, buuuut:
- no "follow" option when highlighting a name in a tweet, ONLY unfollow
- seesmic-explorer; when uploading a pic, files seems "random" doesnt sort files alphabetic nor by date
- no "copy tweet" or simple "copy" option
- cant view tweet by simply hitting the "enter" button, have to go through menu->view tweet
I dont like the fact when I reset my blackberry I have to re-enter my login information to use this program. Ubertwitter saves it, so when I reset my Storm I can open Uber and just get on Twitter.
The alpha version for 4.5 OS works pretty good, you cannot how ever use the send to seesmic like you can on ubertwitter
tell me if theyve added the feature where you can go to your own Media Folder for pictures, and "send to seesmic" from there, like ubertwitter does?
Nope it doesn't.
I was able to download a alpha version for 4.5 for my 8330m curve.
Testing now.
its smoother than the first version. It still needs a lot of work but the updates are good so far.
Now you can hit space twice for the period and it will capitalize your text.
Needs enter to send.
I like it.
I just downloaded it on my 9700 and it feezes everytime I set the permissions... :-(
When I select my location it is still not showing in my tweet. Hmmmm
Your location doesn't "show" in your tweet because Seesmic is using the new Geolocation API. The location data is available on Twitter clients that support the new API.
Would be nice if they would to add "View Profile" option.
There are still several features that SocialScope has which Seesmic should incorporate. Namely, tabs. If we could see at a glance which lists had new tweets in them, that would be great.
Best new feature: keyboard shortcuts (T for top, B for bottom) work now.
Still no BIS support. I don't think a WiFi only client, is going to be much use. Looks great though.
Works on my Storm. What kind of support you looking for?
Any word on when there will be a version available for people who still have 4.5 operating systems?
I just downloaded the update for my storm, but I did notice that there was a alpha version available for 4.5. Try going to that site and check it out.
They probably use APIs that are only accessible from 4.6+ OSes. It will probably never be released for 4.5.
