It’s been a while so we decided to go with a different Twitter page look. Something more simple and professional that would fit the sexy appeal that us BlackBerryChick’s give off.  Check out our Twitter page and let us know if you like the new look or not. We are open to suggestions

What’s been very interesting today on twitter is the discussion about Twitter apps and what others think is the best twitter application .  After posting information about TweetCaster today, it seems as if  many voted in the favor for it.  However, it seems as if there were comments about another Twitter applicaton that might just take the lead. Well share more once we collect more data.

We’re a little late with this post after Erica from HandMark gave us the heads up about  their Twitter application. We were very pleased with their Twitter applications amongst the others that are on the market. We were a little skeptical at first and then we watch the video and changed our minds and decide to givet TweetCaster a run.  We will performing several test and will report back shortly.

TweetCaster offers nearly twice the number of features as alternative BlackBerry smartphone or mobile web-based solutions. In addition to all the standard capabilities needed to enjoy a complete mobile Twitter experience, TweetCaster offers:
•    Ability to toggle between multiple accounts
•    URL shortening
•    Picture sharing
•    One-step @reply and retweet capabilities
•    GPS locator to find Twitter friends near you
•    Real-time trending topics list

Give TweetCaster a test here ( while you’re at don’t forgot to add BlackBerryChick to your list)

If you do any sort of instant messaging on your BlackBerry, check out Beejive! Beejive is a multi-client IM application that is easy to use, exquisitely designed and packed with useful, innovative attributes.  It supports AIM, Google Talk, ICQ, Jabber, MSN/Windows Live, MySpace, SameTime, Yahoo and Faceook Chat all in one application.  No more opening a bunch of different apps and juggling between them to keep up with your contacts.  Beejive handles all your IM needs in one tidy app that is astonishingly light on memory and battery life.

I don’t know where to start because Beejive is just overflowing with high quality features!  The developers didn’t miss a beat and are still constantly evolving the application and responding to user feedback in their support forum. Looks wise you can skin the colors and styles every way possible.  There is full emoticon support, a list of wallpapers to choose from, the option to change the color of the LED notification, and so much more. But Beejive isn’t just a pretty face…it has functionality to satisfy even the most hardcore IM addict!  There is file transfer support, 128-bit encryption of all over-the-air data transmissions, custom status messages, full integration with BlackBerry notification profiles, and auto-reconnect if there is any data interruption. You can even receive push email notification when you’re idle.  Hard to believe, but I’m barely scratching the surface of all the capabilities of Beejive.

Just when I thought I couldn’t love an app more, there was one tiny detail I stumbled upon in the options menu that sealed the deal for me and really showed that the development team was making every effort to leave no stone unturned. As a Storm user who always types in portrait mode, I was thrilled to see that the Beejive wizards integrated an option to lock the screen in portrait or allow landscape typing because my trusty StopTilt app that I reviewed last week doesn’t work on 3rd party apps.  I hate being in the middle of composing a message and having the misbehaving accelorometer decide to tilt on me!

Check out the gallery below to see the many ways you can change the appearance of the IM interface and the huge list of available options.  I really didn’t mean to take so many screen shots for this review but there is just so much impressive content to show off.  I’ve tried just about every instant messaging application available for BlackBerry and Beejive is hands down my favorite.  The very first picture in the gallery is the RIM AIM application which has always been reliable, but to be honest I was never crazy about the color scheme Just one of the many reasons I fell in love with Beejive so quickly.

Beejive is available for BlackBerries running OS 4.0 and higher.  Visit beejive.com/download from your BlackBerry web browser to install a fully functional 30 day free trial.  I was hooked in 30 minutes.  You can purchase a one device license for $19.95 or a user license (which can be transferred to other BlackBerries) for $29.95.  Absolutely worth the price tag considering the incredible quality, powerful interface and advanced level of customization.  When I think about the amount of money I’ve spent on shoes, purses and outfits that sit in my closet unworn, $20-$30 to be able to “accessorize” the instant messaging interface on my beloved BlackBerry and have it match my outfit, mood, and communication needs on a daily basis is a major bargain!
