TweetGenius, Twitter client for BlackBerry

This particular Twitter client has created a lot of buzz when it was first released, but then withheld for various reasons, which made the app all the more desirable ! BGR/Beejive, the developers of the TweetGenius have officially released the app to the general public. A license is $7.99, which is a steep price to pay, but no regrets ! The UI is amongst the most slickest of all the available Twitter clients for the BlackBerry platform.

To begin with, its compatible with all BlackBerries running 4.2 OS or above, with the exception of the Pearl and the Pearl Flip.

A roundup of the features it has to offer, which I'm sure will improve over time (The price you pay will give you free updates till the app hits 2.0)

• Send tweets
• Automatically fetch new tweets in the background
• Save tweets as favorites
• Delete tweets
• Send your GPS location
• Send photos to numerous online photo services
• Shorten URLs with bit.ly
• View trends in real time
• Search
• Mark messages as read when you’re done reading them
• Customize themes and fonts
• View photos
• View user profiles and timelines
• View users by both username and real name

There are a few bugs here and there, but acceptable right now, that the app has just been released. I'm sure the devs will look into them and fix them over the coming updates.

BlackBerry FTW !

Its called the BlackBerry 8520 Curve, codename "Gemini"

Only one word can describe how good the phone is: EPIC !

Its the most affordable BlackBerry yet ! It retails for INR 16,000, but locked to the Bharti Airtel network. The QWERTY keypad is just wow ! I used to use a full touchscreen phone before this, on which I used to freak out typing out long messages. Since the day I got the phone, I've used up atleast, say, half my free message limit of 300 messages :)

I suddenly feel the urge to type out messages instead of calling up :D

I hate to say this, and I know this is like comparing a penis with a vagina, but I feel the BlackBerry is much better than the epic iPhone itself :)
