BlackBerry8330/4.5.0.160 Profile/MIDP-2.0

Here are some of the changes :

• Multiple Accounts - You can now configure multiple accounts, each with their own set of on-device preferences.
• You can now BLOCK people!
• Video Integration - We have partnered with TwitVid.com to offer you an outstanding video integration.
• Goto user - You can now enter twitter users name and go directly to their timeline
• URL Shortening - we've integrated with bit.ly so you can easily send those long URLs now and not bump up against the 140 limit
• MUCH faster photo uploads, significantly improving the user experience.
• Use of the internal GPS is now solidly supported with proper fallback to cell tower based location when GPS isn't available.
• Icon Caching If you have and SD card, we will cache avatar icons on the card, increasing the speed of timeline displays and reducing network traffic.
• You can now select pictures and videos that have already been take and are on your device. The interface shows the most recent at the top and offers a preview so you can verify it is the picture/video you expected!
• When composing a tweet you can now insert symbols from a large selection of commonly available characters such as smiley's, hearts, etc.
• Integrated advertisements - Please note, the ads are there to support the freely distributable version of ÜberTwitter. Users that purchase ÜberTwitter will not have advertisement in their version.
• We've streamlined the friends and followers lists
• You can now see both the number of friends, followers, and tweets sent when viewing the details of a tweet.
• Replying to a DM from the timeline will now correctly send a DM and not a regular tweet
• Fixed the bug in reply all where it would truncate some twitter user names
• Added reply all to the menu when viewing a tweet

if anyone was to dump SS they would have to be out they mind, tho ubertwitter and a few others are changing and making the apps a little better so who knows. I just hate that SS pops it all on the device memory and sucks it bad when they should of had it save to memory card

Yea they have made some good improvements, but i feel their menu is way to long, maybe need to make a custom menu with some submenus in it. and i wish they would allow the ability to upload to twitpic, instead of just their site, mypict.me. and make an option to hit enter to send tweet. Other than that it has improved greatly from the initial release. I have sent them some feedback about these features but still no response . But I am with you, like the tabbed feature of SS and I just like SS in general . I think I am still sold with them...
