uTweetMe 1.3
Update: uTweeteMe has been updated to version 1.3 alpha. Because of changes Twitter made to the login process (OAuth is now required) the previous version no longer works and you have to update to continue sing uTweeteMe. There’s been a small enhancement. You can now view @boostapps.comReplies to you on their own page.
I’ve received a few requests for a better Twitter client than TinyTwitter. I just sent an hour looking at a bunch of them and frankly they are all pretty bleak. The best of the bunch seems to be uTweetMe.
It’s fast, all keys are mapped correctly and it’s fairly full featured. You can view your Friends Timeline, Tweet, Retweet, Reply, send DMs, view @boostapps.comReplies and view sent and received DMs. There are templates if you are into Tweeting the same canned text over and over. Unfinished Tweets can be saved as drafts. On the other hand there are a lot of things missing; you can’t see Avatars or Twitpics or follow people. And words are split across lines rather than wrapping properly. You can’t follow links in Tweets either, although this is a limitation of the iDEN Java run-time rather than UTweetMe.
The other Twittter clients I tried and rejected are:
Twitlet: limited feature set and ugly full justified timeline display.
Jitter: TinyTwitter with ads.
Twibble, Twim: Failed to connect.
If anyone knows of a better Java Twitter client please let me know in a comment. For now, the best way to do Twitter on iDEN phones is Opera Mini combined with a good Web client like Dabr.co.uk

can u please get a myspace app
Nimbuzz and eBuddy claim to support MySpace chat. Other than that I’ve never seen a MySpace app that works on iDEN phones. The official MySpace app is a site shortcut to http://m.myspace.com That URL works fine id Opera Mini, the site shortcut doesn’t work at all.
1. opera mini 4.2 is a must! 2. goto: slandr.net A+ features 4 twttr!
Can you please find a MySpace app, I love using MySpace on Opera Mini, but an app would be so great. Thanks.
Nimbuzz and eBuddy claim to support MySpace chat. I don’t use MySpace so I haven’t tried them with it. I don’t know of any other MySpace apps that work.
This one might be good. Same people that make the unified group IM Mobi make it. They link to getjar to download but that fails and searching on getjar for it? Forget it. Dabr.co.uk has it’s own app on getjar, but it is solely an app that just opens your web browser to the Dabr.co.uk webpage. Makes no sense. Maybe we can give this twiitte app a try. The Unified IM by the same company also posted here works great and is the only IM app I can get that does multi protocalls on a non web based that works and works well.
Josh facebook apps would only bring up the mobile facebook page. also the facebook apps along with the myspace apps are not compatible with moto iden phones so untill boost comes out with one that is you might not see a myspace or facebook app
