UberTwitter for BlackBerry (beta) is a step in the right direction

For some reason the selection of Twitter clients for BlackBerry devices is – to put it bluntly – awful. There’s Twitterberry, SocialScope (beta) and brute force text messaging. All three of these options leave out something from the Twitter experience when compared against the more robust clients available for the iPhone.

Now there’s a new Twitter for BlackBerry beta – UberTwitter which builds on the above functionality and adds one of my most used features – the Twitter Trendline. This feature shows the topics that many people are talking about on Twitter and can be an early signal to breaking news. You can also use UberTwitter to update your GTalk status. Currently in open beta for devices running OS 4.2.1 and higher.

    Bit harsh that they are awful. What about Yatca or Tinytwitter?

    I think you have failed to mention a few of the Twitter apps that are available for BB. I currently use twibble and I LOVE it. It is MUCH better than the horrific twitterberry.
