Use Twitter on your Nokia phone

February 16, 2009 in Social Media | View Comments

Are you one of us Twitter users who use recent Nokia or S60 mobile phone? I’m sure you would like to tweet from your mobile, too. I’ll show you a few ways to use Twitter on a Nokia phone.

Nokia Twitter applications

There are a few Twitter clients for Nokia phones. Two most popular Java based applications are Twim and Twibble. For some reason i can’t get neither of them to work properly on my N95. But from what i’ve seen on my friend’s phone, Twibble seemed better to me. Twim offers all the basic features you need for mobile tweeting and is very easy to use. Twibble, however, has more features, including the ability to automatically update itself on a preset interval, as well as GPS support for location-based Tweets and the ability to send photos to twitpic.

Mobile browser Twitter interfaces

If you prefer using a browser to tweet, then you still got a few options to choose from. The most basic is Twitter’s official mobile web service m.twitter.com, but you can’t see direct messages here and it looks boring. More advanced web interfaces are slandr and dabr. While both slandr and dabr are much better than m.twitter.com, i prefer dabr. It just looks better and got a few more options. You can send tweets, view replies, and check direct messages here as well. This is for you if you don’t want to bother installing anything on your phone.

And how do you tweet with your Nokia phone?

  • Hey, Tommi. For some reason Twim does not work on my N95, i have no idea what is wrong. After i install it, it freezes on loading screen when i launch it. So i couldn't test it much myself, just saw it on friend's phone.
  • Hi Marko! I'm the developer of Twim app. Could you explain how Twim could work better on your N95 or what are the most important parts that it's missing?
