Twitter for BlackBerry Losing “Beta” Label, Full Version Launches Tonight

Update: Now live! If the application doesn’t automatically prompt you to update, head to Options and select Check for Update at the bottom.

Beginning tonight, BlackBerry users will start seeing an update to Twitter, officially bringing it out of beta. According to RIM, the open beta was made available in April to gather community and user feedback, much of which was taken into consideration when updating the application along the way. Unfortunately, this official non-beta version won’t provide support for multiple user accounts, but with any luck we’ll see the feature implemented in future versions.

This new version will feature “Go to User”, which provides access to any user’s profile from anywhere in the application using the auto-complete functionality we’ve seen rolled out in previous updates. Additionally, the updated version will include support for at least 7 new languages, including:

• Portuguese EU


• Japanese


• Indonesian


• Russian


• Turkish


• Dutch


• Korean
