So I recently upgraded my phone to the E75, yes shock horror I didn’t get the amazing iPhone – why cause I like Nokia and I didn’t want a 2MP camera on my phone (my old phone had 2MP and I wanted to be going up and not sideways, haha wonder how many people are choking right now thinking its a sideways movement to the iPhone…, not quite but camera wise yes)
So I needed an application for my Nokia E75 on the Symbian Software and I gave the following Apps a test and here is my outcome…
1) Gravity – The S60 Twitter Client
For me this App has been the best I’ve used, it allows multi-accounts which none of the others do it has the best scrolling feature through all the tweets plus you can view pictures that people post up on TwitPic, TwitGoo and MobyPicture and post pictures to these plus also Posterous. It also has the normal tweet, reply, DM, follow & unfollow, create favourites, auto-update and many more. You can also run searches plus view whats currently trending on Twitter.

2) Twittix
Twittix for me comes in at a close 2nd, it doesn’t support multiple accounts which is a negative but pretty much matches Gravity in everything else in terms of functionality. The scrolling and design isn’t quite as nice as Gravity how ever.


3) TweetS60

This is a better option than going directly to the Twitter site how ever I find it quite slow when it loads because you can’t do anything until its loaded all the latest tweets and you need to wait a bit. The scrolling is fine and you can view your DM’s plus @ messages but it doesn’t cater for pictures or multi accounts and the scrolling/design isn’t as good as Gravity or Twittix.
4) MobiTile

MobiTile might be slightly better than TweetS60 for the only reason that it looks like it can also bring in your Facebook Account (currently my version on my phone doesn’t allow for this but their website says you can). To install it you’ll need Adobe Flash Lite 2.0 and it works on Symbian and Windows Mobile. My one gripe with it is that you can’t just read a tweet you have to open it as it only displays the first 40/50 characters… and you can’t just update it directly – I have to download the latest version to update it! If this latest version includes Facebook then it might be worthwhile.
Did I leave any others out? Let me know. One other could be NimBuzz but I still need to try this out with Twitter, currently using it for GTalk and trying to get Facebook and Skype to work with it but still no success.
