It’s been awhile since we heard anything from UberTwitter officially. Sure we had the beta leak of UberTwitter where the whole app got a huge face lift along with a new lookin’ icon and later that “Rogue Beta” was released as an optional download. UberTwitter is the most popular Twitter application out there for BlackBerry as the majority feel it is very user friendly and includes lots of features that most of the other Berry Twitter clients do not include. We have the full change log you can check out along with an OTA. Just as quick relief for all of you, the new icon is now in play, so no more complaints of having an ugly one. Also, tabs from the Rogue Beta have been implemented up top, just in a sexier way.

Lists, Lists, Lists!!! – You can create, delete, subscribe, add members, view members, all the functionality you would expect of an Über mobile client!
Find People – You can search for people, just like the ‘Find People’ link on Twitter’s home page.
New Icon – We love it!
Über Bar – We couldn’t resist the name! This is a tab bar at the top of the screen, the neat thing is that you can add your own tabs! A list can be a tab, users timelines, and soon saved searches
Retweets – We support the old method and new method, you decide!
Update Twitter Profile – Yes, you can update your Twitter profile directly from your phone.
Profile Picture – We have heard you, upload a picture for your Twitter avatar right from your phone!
Report Spam – One menu selection to report a tweet as a spam.
Twitter Geo-Tagging – We provide support Twitter’s new geo-tagging capability. You can decide whether to use myloc.me URLs, Twitter Geo-Tagging, or both!
Friend Picker – Type ‘@’ and a list of your friends automatically pops up allowing selection
Larger Avatars – Click the profile picture, and view a larger version! You can even email that larger version!
TwitLonger – Yes, you can tweet MUCH longer tweets now, thanks to the folks over at TwitLonger.com, we have fully integrated this capability into both sending long tweets, and automatically retrieving long tweets. We love it!
What The Trend? – Ever wonder why certain topics were trending or what they meant? No more! We have integrated with the folks over at WhatTheTrend.com to allow you to see the explanations for trending topics, and also for you to provide your own explanations!
Choice of timeline layout – Choose the new ‘bubble’ layout or the original ‘bar’ layout.
Verified Users – We show a small blue check-mark icon in the timeline to denote verified users
Network Connection Logic – We re-worked the network connection logic, things should be alot smoother.
