Gravity winning S60 Twitter app popularity race on Nokia
By Mike on 07 May 2009
GLOBAL – Late last week we launched a poll to find out which S60 Twitter app put the biggest smile on your beak, and the response has been great, with Gravity currently storming ahead of the pack in the popularity race. We’re going to keep the poll open for a few more weeks as this topic on the ultimate Twitter app for S60 Nokia phones seems to have struck a serious chord – we’ve already clocked up over 300 votes in 6 days, and heaps of you have been commenting with some great suggestions for alternatives to our core list of S60 Twitter apps.
Read on for a full rundown of how all the Twitter apps are measuring up alongside each other in the most-loved stakes, plus find out which Twitter apps many of you have mentioned that weren’t included in our original list of big hitter Twitter apps for your Nokia.
Gravity is currently out in front with lion’s share of the vote at 42%, and has received a lot of vocal support from a number of you in the comments section:
Oliver: “On the 5800 XpressMusic nothing can beat Gravity, kinteic scrolling and best UI of all my installed apps (also non-twitter apps)!
Twibble has clocked up just over half the amount of votes that Gravity has pulled in, with 23% of the vote. Dabr is sitting in third spot with 12%.
But in fourth place at the moment is ‘other’, and diving into our pool of poll data it shows that most of the ‘other’ suggestions are for Tweets60, supported by a number of you in the comments section:
Hugo: “There’s a nice and simple new client called Tweets60 just out in beta by a Manchester company called Ravensoft.”

The votes as they stand…

I personally like Twibble, mostly cause it’s free

I use Dabr because it’s free and does what I need it to on my phone. I’m not paying nearly £7 for an application either that is a little better than some free alternatives, it’s not worth it yet. I’m guessing with Ovi coming, there will be an abundance of Twitter apps being built. All less than that £7!

I also like the new twibble most. Very fast and easy to use. The only twitter client with GPS support!

I started off with tweets60 on my E63, when i moved in from Ubertwitter on my previous blackberry. Tweets60, serves you faithfully for all intents and purposes, but lacks certain basics like favorite/unfavorite, no twitpicking, etc, etc., so moved on to Gravity! Gravity has got me hooked on with almost weekly updates and excellent functionality. I alternate between Tweets60 and Gravity (I also got twibble, but looks pretty rudimentary to me).

You may also try the free @SociallyApp (http://bit.ly/6mFra0) on Nokia phones. It supports Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn and integrates with the phone book by showing the profile photos and latest status of the callers during incoming calls.
