Update: Twitter for BlackBerry Smartphones v1.0.0.40 is now available. You can download it from blackberry.com/twitter or pick it up in BlackBerry App World.
We just heard that the official Twitter for BlackBerry client which is currently in open beta will receive an update tonight. Just a week ago we asked what you thought about Twitter for BlackBerry and it seemed like the biggest issue was the inability to edit a Re-Tweet. Well, it looks like this, and a lot of other features have been added to the update which will start rolling out tonight.

The official Twitter for BlackBerry application has been available publicly for a little while now, and, I wanted to get your take and see what you think about it. For me, Twitter for BlackBerry has become my primary Twitter client on my device. I am not the biggest Twitter user out there, however, I use that app every day and it works for me.
As far as BlackBerry applications developed by RIM, I would put Twitter for BlackBerry second only to BlackBerry Messenger. That’s just one man’s opinion… What’s yours.

Today at CTIA 2010, CrackBerry Kevin found out that the official Twitter for BlackBerry client will launch next Wednesday, March 31st. Twitter for BlackBerry has been in a “closed” beta for over a month, although you could easily find a leaked version online if you looked hard enough.
If RIM addressed the speed of Twitter for BlackBerry I’d say that it could be a nice little Twitter client. Definitely not the best BlackBerry Twitter client available, but, certainly good enough to significantly decrease the number of people that would be willing to pay for a third party client.
@SocialScope… You should have released your client long ago. You will never make what you could have made if you would have released a client 6 months to a year ago. Sure, some BlackBerry users will buy your client if and when you ever release it. Most, however, won’t…
