If you’re looking for a free native Twitter client for your Symbian S60 powered mobile phone, you’ve got to check out Tweets60. It’s works on S60 3rd and 5th Edition phones. As with most Twitter clients you can view your Timeline, Replies, DMs and Favorites and follow/unfollow Tweeple. The interface is good and simple with the actions to post, reply or retweet in the Option menu.
One cool functionality in Tweets60 is that you can configure multiple access points and prioritize them. Useful when you’ve got Wifi access and then default to GPRS/3G connection when you’re not in Wifi range. If you’re on a tight data plan, this application also comes with an option to save your bandwidth by allowing you to set the refresh frequency to manual or set it to 5, 10 or 30 minutes.
For a basic twitter client – Tweets60 does it’s job pretty well. According to Ravensoft’s tweets, it looks like a pro version is in the making. I just hope the free version doesn’t get too crippled to promote the sales of the pro version.
A few missing functionalities in the current version of Tweets60 are (in my order of my preference):
- Delete & Mark Tweets as Favorites
- Custom Twitter Search Timelines
- Post images from phone to twitpic ( hopefully will be out in a future version)
- Multiple Twitter Accounts
- Theme support – A darker theme ( like Gravity? )
