UberTwitter is one of the best free Twitter applications you can get for your BlackBerry. While they have an ad-free premium version, the free version is great as well giving you all the Twitter functions you like including all the latest updates. We are happy to see a TweetPhoto support integrated at last which calls for a lot of conveniences when tweeting. Read more to check out the full update report.

TweetPhoto.com Support – TweetPhoto is now the default photo sharing service. We have fully integrated TweetPhoto’s extensive feature list in such a way that it naturally flows with many of the features already available. Favoriting a tweet that includes a TweetPhoto will also favorite the photo on TweetPhoto, deleting a tweet with a TweetPhoto will also delete the TweetPhoto, replying to a tweet with a TweetPhoto will include that reply in the comment stream on TweetPhoto.com, and viewing a photo in UberTwitter will also register the view on TweetPhoto. You can view all of the comments on a TweetPhoto in one place in UberTwitter and, of course, we fully integrated our geolocation capabilities.
Email forwarding – You can now forward a tweet directly to email
Visual Icon Notification – For newer devices we provide a visual homescreen icon which you can configure to display for either new tweets, new replies/mentions, new direct messages or any combination of the three.
Enter to Send – You now have the option to enable pressing ENTER in the compose tweet screen to send the tweet.
Search Bug – we fixed a nasty bug which prevented many of you from using the search capability
Modified the timeline retrieval logic to account for cases where tweets might not get retrieved if Twitter was experiencing intermittent tweet delivery delays.
Exiting App SHIFT-x will now exit the application from any timeline screen
