Today was the big day that I FINALLY got my invite to SocialScope…. and boy was it worth the wait! Bye, bye, UberTwitter. Below are screenshots and downloads (scroll down for previous versions of SocialScope). By the way, I have a Blackberry Storm, running OS 4.7.0.151. If you don’t have this device and OS, this JAD won’t work with your device!

Download: SocialScope Lite 0.9.5.44
(TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS: Blackberry Storm, OS 4.7.0.151
)

  • Fix: Posting does not work for some locales

Sign-On Screen:

Integrated feed of both Twitter and Facebook updates:

Facebook Screen
One noticeable bug is that the Facebook feed isn’t properly identifying your Facebook friends, so while you see the activity and status updates, you can’t tell which friend said it.

Facebook Comment Feature
SocialScope gives you the ability to comment on a Facebook friend’s activity, assuming of course, you know which friend did it.

If you like Twitterberry, you will LOVE  ÜberTwitter (a Twitter client).  I’ve been using UberTwitter Beta-1 but just upgraded to the newly released Beta-2 software upgrade.  One of the things that I love most about ÜberTwitter that I couldn’t ever get Twitterberry to work for me is the integrated picture sharing. For more info, check out my related blog post: Review: Twitter Apps for the Blackberry that Have Integrated Picture Sharing.

This latest release “rolls out a large number of new features (requested by YOU!) and from pre-release testing promises greater stability. There are still features on our list, and we will ultimately have a Beta-3, we aren’t even close to being satisfied with the feature set yet. Once you have a chance to play with it, please let us know your thoughts on missing features and any issues or bugs.”

Below is the list of features and bug fixes included in this release:

If there is one request that I had for my Storm it would be to have an app that seamlessly integrates taking pictures and instantly uploading them to Twitter. Below are some thoughts on Snap2Twitter, Twitterberry, and my personal winner, UberTwitter. The reviews below are specifically on the picture sharing capabilities of the Twitter apps.

BEST: UberTwitter

I have been a faithful user of Twitterberry for as long as I can remember. But, let me say this… I LOVE UberTwitter. I repeat, I LOVE IT.

This is a new Twitter app for the Blackberry that is now in Beta. If you like Twitterberry, you’ll really like UberTwitter too. There are many similarities between the two; however, I noticed that UberTwitter seems to update my Twitter followers statuses more consistently and also has a visual indicator on the app icon when it has updated the statuses. Another nice feature of UberTwitter is the ability to immediately retweet any of your friends’ updates and also view your @ twitter mentions.

Another week, another leaked OS. I am downloading it now and will post my comments about this OS today as I start using it.

DOWNLOAD directly from GeekyGrrrl

From Crackberry.com: The drought is finally over Stormies. For all the hardcore 9530 users out there, we’ve got a new unofficial OS for you to download and play with. No, it’s not in 5.0 stylings, but if you’re itching for the latest and (hopefully) greatest you can can now grab OS 4.7.0.132 for the BlackBerry Storm 9530. Let the fun and games begin.

Leaked: OS 4.7.0.132 for Storm 9530! – BlackBerry Forums at CrackBerry.com.
