A new OS for the Tour has been leaked, 5.0.0.419.  Download via BBGeeks

I’ve just updated to the latest version of blackberry messenger.  Not a lot has changed if you are already running 5.0.

You will notice an improved menu as well as the ability to preview pictures on download.   You will also notice that SMS messaging is now integrated into chat.

Go to http://blackberry.com/messenger to get the update.   It’s 2.5 MB so make some coffee while you wait for the download.

BBM 5.0.0.55

In short, TweetGenius v1.1.2 for Blackberry looks great!!

Truth be told, I had to stop midway through this post to figure out what the heck was going on with the “unable to send tweet” messages. I didn’t want to give this application the short end of the stick, so I did a few battery pulls to make sure that it wasn’t my Storm 2 that was malfunctioning. But I think it’s just that because it’s graphic heavy…it pulls tweets and posts tweets slower than ubertwitter beta 6, SocialScope, Twitterberry (now OpenBeak), and Seesmic for Blackberry.

At one point, when I was trying to include location (GEO) in an update, it was able to pull the google map, but was not able to convert it to bit.ly, and gave me a bit.ly error, and simply posted the google map location. HOWEVER…the location is pretty exact. And when I mean…exact…I DO mean…EXACT. So…if you’ve got stalkers…or your twitter feed is not “blocked” or “private”…please don’t turn send out your location, unless you really want to. ubertwitter beta 6 uses approximations…which is a great safety feature if you’d like people to know that you’re in the area, but never really know where you are. lol.

Pros

• Great looking interface. G-REAT!
• Automatically fetch new tweets in the background
• Displays counts for new tweets, @replys, and DMs on Home page
• Aligns your tweets to the right.

• Shorten URLs
• View trends
• Search in real time
• Mark messages as read when you’re done reading them
• View user profiles and timelines

Cons

• It’s slow….loading, posting…
• Quite a few errors when trying to post if you have SMS, MMS, BBM, or Facebook coming through while trying to post
• Unable to Reply All (UberTwitter, SocialScope, Seesmic)
• Unable to select picture from “camera” icon (SocialScope)
