If you've been itching to beta test some new software, the BlackBerry Beta Zone has now made available Twitter for BlackBerry v3.2.0.3. This release is meant to be a bug fix release with a lot of the work not visible to end-users but that's not to say RIM hasn't added some new features to the mix because they have:
- Follow/Unfollow buttons on user lists
- Improved support for expanded Tweets, including article summaries and photos (read more about this new functionality on Twitter's blog here)
Fixes:
- Drop down list buttons in options screen are not getting redrawn correctly when changing options.
- Right to Left - Following and all users button text clipped or not displayed correctly in user account options.
- Right to Left - Follow button and usernames are not reversed in lists for AR and HE on 5.0
- Outside interaction with Lists cause Internal Twitter server problem or loading screen indefinitely
- Unable to access UK English help All users/following drop-down menu doesn’t update while highlighted
In addition to this new release, RIM is also looking for suggestion on what else should be added to the app to make it better. They've set up a features request section on the BlackBerry Beta Zone site for you to submit suggestions and vote on already curated ones.
Enough of that though, hit the link below and start testing that baby out. And remember folks, submit feedback. It's all kind of pointless if you don't offer up feedback on how to improve the app.

Twitter for BlackBerry v3.2.0.3 lands in the BlackBerry Beta Zone
downloading now
#NowDownloading.......Wow! This looks good. I love the way RIM is coming up with new updates to Twitter so quick. Kudos and Thanx!
RIM, where is the love for a real, native LinkedIn app??? I don't use Twitter or Facebook (for too many reasons to list), and LinkedIn is my social media app of choice. I've seen countless updates for Twitter and FB, but still nothing for LInkedIn, and I've been a BlackBerry-holic for about three years now.
An LI app would be wonderful! Especially since LinkedIn totally dropped their effort to update their version of a BB app!!
Still not fix arabic language with mention!
Like it! Gotta give it to RIM, Facebook and Twitter have come a long way in just a couple of months. They are both looking very good!
I'm loving how RIM is coming out with these updates so quickly too. Hopefully they've been watching the discussion board on implementing some of the suggestions by the users.
Is there ever going to be an option to mute users? This is the only reason I'm sticking with SocialScope.
I've suggested this on the discussion board. I need mute option ASAP.
mmm... my keycode doesn't work...
The v3.2 is not found on Blackberry.com/beta in Canada. I keep seeing only v3.1? Can anyone help?
