Although I'm a pretty casual Twitter user. Not sure it would cut it for the hard cores out there. Still, works well, hides in the background when not in use. Disconnects when you're not actively using/updating to save your data plan, or battery life if you're wifi'ing it like me.

Thanks for your comment, and welcome!

I’ve come across Twittix but haven’t had time to try it – thanks for bringing it up!

From your experience with Twittix, I agree that it’s certainly worth the few extra pounds. Gravity is just such a pleasure to use, it’s reliable, and the developer is very active, while listening to his customers…

Tried a few java clients back before I used Gravity, and found them slow and cumbersome. In terms of S60 clients there's also Twittix: http://www.mojosmobile.com/studios/twittix.html However my brief usage of it finds it more cumbersome than Gravity, and nowhere near as pretty. A major point against it is that it freezes up while checking tweets, and as far as I can see doesn't yet have some of the more fancy autoconnect/autoswitch features of Gravity. It is a couple of quid cheaper than Gravity, but for the sake of a (cheap) pint of beer I think the extra polish currently availible in Gravity is worth it.

Absolutely worth the money if you're a heavy Twitter user. Twibble is OK for casual users though.
