Confession time . . .

I have been a BlackBerry addict for the past two years.  Originally I had my trusty Curve, with a battery that lasted around four days and now the magnificant BlackBerry Bold.

I am also a tad additcted to twitter, the only problem was – up until recently my BlackBerry and twitter were not the best of friends.  All of the twitter applications that I tried were lacking in some way.  Then, I came across dabr . . . hallelujah!!!

dabr has been accurately describe as ‘m.twitter.com on steroids’ – it is the only twitter interface that I have used that does everything!

Have a look . . .

Before we look at the features of dabr, let me highlight the above discussion I had with the developer on twitter.

I was playing with dabr trying to get used to the fact that it didn’t have a character counter and tweeted the following . . .

dabr didn’t ignore me . . . but rather responded with a solution half an hour later!

Very impressed, now I just need to wait for them to add a character count to the RT & direct messages!  Ok, you got me, dabr doesn’t do everything  . . . but it does have Twitpic integration; meaning that you can easily upload a pic from your phone and preview thumbnails of other twitpic posts automatically!

I even love the fact that dabr has an ugly orange theme by default (that is always a good thing right?) . . . however you can change the look if you wish.

Using dabr is very intuitive, there are great navigational controls on each tweet . . .

The navigation of different parts of twitter is also intuitive, with shortcuts included if you have a little tiny itty bity phone . . .

I mean the developer even advertises his competitors on the front page of his site!!!

dabr states that “Your ideas aren’t just welcome, but are the driving force that makes dabr improve and hopefully be your mobile twitter client of choice. So please get in touch ”

I believe they mean it.  What do you think?  Are you going to try dabr right away?
