Gravity, a really nice Twitter app lands on Symbian S60 phones

At last, smartphones running the Nokia-led Symbian S60 OS have a native Twitter application. And a very slick one at that.

Gravity is supported on phones running S60 version 3, including my own Nokia E71, as well as the latest touch-friendly S60 version 5, which powers the Nokia 5800 (aka the Tube) and the upcoming N97.

The app supports a host of features, including…

Tweet, reply, DM, follow & unfollow, create favourites, search, and auto-update
Tabbed view of your Timeline, Replies, Messages, Friends
Setup and use as many accounts as you want at the same time
Twitter-Search section with multiple search tabs and Twitter Trends
Post pictures via TwitPic
Open URLs from any Tweet

The end result is a very powerful yet user-friendly Twitter app, and one that is better in many ways than Twitter’s own website and the many iPhone Twitter clients out there. It’s also proof that S60 apps can be as polished and easy to use as those on Apple’s iconic device, and along with the recent S60 native YouTube client, sets a new standard for third-party S60 applications. Now somebody just needs to create a decent S60 Facebook app.
