CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: Jessica Dolcourt on December 10, 2008
Strangely, Twitter seems to take only a passive interest in its own propagation, leaving third-party developers like Orangatame Software fill the void. The free application TwitterBerry gives BlackBerry owners plenty of room to post tweets and read friends' time lines.
The default screen asks Twitter's hallmark question, "What are you doing?" If you don't feel like answering, you can press the BlackBerry's menu key to peruse your friends' time line or the public time line, sift through direct messages and replies, and search your own history of tweets. TwitterBerry isn't nearly as flashy-looking as Twitter solutions for other cell phone platforms, but it's satisfying, fairly quick to load, and makes for much more comfortable tweeting than Twitter's frequently broken mobile Web site.
Publisher's description
From Orangatame Software :TwitterBerry is mobile client for posting updates to Twitter. Twitter is a service for friends, family, and coworkers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing? The choice is yours.

Version: TwitterBerry 0.8
Pros: Allows posts, pretty simple and streamline.
Cons: Kinda clunky and bland. Network message failures are persistent. No downloading feature via a computer (on thru your blackberry)
Summary: It's a decent app to use for the blackberry, especially if you don't have twitter direct SMS capability (like I had deleted an old account with my phone number way back when). It's servicable, but do expect it to fail. I will suggest for those wi... read more >>

Version: TwitterBerry 0.8
"Easy to use, exactly what I need"
Pros: Large screen for tweeting, nice interface for looking at timelines, accurate representation of tweet history when twitter deletes tweets without warning, like automatic shortening of URLs, good menu options
Cons: Links aren't live, can't access profiles, had to dig through the blackberry's advanced settings a few times to get notifications set correctly, not much documentation, spellcheck would be nice?
Summary: This fulfilled my need for a twitter client on blackberry. All tweets submitted through twitterberry made it onto the site with equal frequency as ones submitted through the web (which is not 100%, either way, b/c of twitter's database problems). Sp... read more >>

"Invalid username/password error persists"
Pros: Those that can log in like it but persistent log in problems continue
