I am the proud owner of a Treo 700wx. Why not upgrade to an iPhone or a Blackberry and take advantage of other Twitter apps on those devices you might ask? I admit, and iPhone would be real cool, however here are several reasons why I haven’t jumped on that band wagon yet, most of them personal preference.

Reasons I’m holding out:

  1. I am not a big fan of AT&T, I think they are a crutch for the iPhone. They are more expensive and their customer service is sub-par. I say this from personal experience with them, and I hear this from a lot of my friends on AT&T.
  2. I have had phenomenal customer service with Sprint, and they have even improved recently based on some complaints about their level of service. The local Sprint stores are great in this area and being a regular they have helped me a lot (for example, as of late I have had some bad battery issues on my phone. I went to the Sprint store and my contact there, Drew, hooked me up with a brand new battery free of charge)
  3. In regard to a Blackberry, I prefer a touch screen, although they are nice phones.

Well, enough of why I still have my Treo 700wx…now onto my search for a good, fast Twitter App for my WM5 phone. I tried Twobile and ceTwit, but both bogged down my phone so much and would crash often. I then came across Twikini, optimized specifically for WM phones. Within 5 minutes of using is I was already tweeting and texting my fellow WM friends that they needed to download it. Amazingly Twikini is super fast, feature rich, and extremely easy to use.

So for any of you stalwart Windows Mobile users out there, I would strongly recommend giving Twikini a try.
