Best Ways to Use Twitter With Nokia Phones

Application For Twitter

A common question I see is what application to install to use Twitter on their S60 Nokia phones. The answer is twibble. You can even use your phone’s GPS for twibble to include your location with your tweets. You can supposedly insert photos thru twibble, but I got errors trying. I’ll tell you more about tweeting with photos so keep reading. Download twibble mobile.

Using the S60 Browser For Twitter

If you do not like Twibble, a better way to send tweets is accessing m.slandr.net through the browser. Update: I now prefer to use dabr.co.uk because it seems to have more options and looks prettier. 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. Alternatively, you can use m.twitter.com to keep it simple and don’t need to see replies nor direct messages.

How to Add Photos with Tweets

Add twitpic as an upload site in Shozu. Take a photo, add a title for the picture, then send it to twitpic using Shozu. Here’s a sample tweet with a photo inserted through Shozu.

How to Add Videos with Tweets

Another cool way to use Twitter with your Nokia phone is by adding live video streams. You can read about it on my previous post

    I think Shozu does not upload mobile pics to Twitpic if you are using an unlicensed Shozu app... you need to purchase the complete app...
  • I recently created another webbased mobile-friendly twitter client: http://twimply.com. Just like Dabr, it allows you to see your timeline, mentions, direct messages and lists, and lets you reply, retweet and favorite easily.

    What makes it different, is that it offers the feature to save links in tweets to Instapaper or Delicious for later reading - something I find very useful as I often use mobile Twitter when I have just a few seconds to spare...

    Nokia es un fraude, tenia un N75 y mande a garantia a Nokia en diciembre del 2008porque nunca funcionó y ya es septiembre del 2009 y todavia no me dan respuesta, demande con profeco y aun no tengo mi N75, no caigan en mi error busquen otras marcas altenativas que si cumplan. Nokia les va a fallar.


    Nokia is a fraud, had an N75 and send a warranty from Nokia in December 2008 because never worked and it is September 2009 and still did not respond, and even demand in PROFECO not have my N75, do not fall into my mistake to seek alternative altenativa marks if fulfilled. Nokia is going to fail.

    Alrighty peeps, here it is. By far the best twitter app for s60v3 Symbian phones is Gravity. I'm a twitter nut and I've tried just about every app on my N95 8GB. Gravity cost $10, but being the nice guy that I am, I've included a link below to where you can get it for free. Enjoy!

  • Twibble doesn't work on Nokia N96... soz:) Got very latest firmware active (the one that gives you audio themes), but when I start Twibble, it switches itself off after 5 seconds:)

    I do like the icon though in my applications menu, so I'm not uninstalling it (yet)...
