I’m excited about this one folks! Earlier today the Twitter for BlackBerry beta application was announced by RIM available by private invite-only. Word has been buzzing around about it for a while now. So far it seems to be everything that you would expect it to be coming from RIM. Click the link to read more.

Being a well-rounded Twitter client, it has message list integration, the option to send Twitter updates from the message list menu, push support for Direct Messages, and most features you see in many other Twitter clients. It still lacks a few features but is easily a contender among all of the other clients available. Push support for Direct Messages makes them more useful and shows off what the BlackBerry does best. The options screen is a little light at the moment with not a lot of settings to tweak, timelines take a while to load, and the timelines for friends and mentions are a little too large. Reading requires a good bit of scrolling (there needs to be an option to change the font size). While it isn’t packed full of features just yet, the Twitter for BlackBerry beta is a solid start for RIM. They’re entering a mad race for the best Twitter client and I’m pulling for them.
