After several weeks of testing the Twitter for BlackBerry v1.1 is now officially released and can be downloaded from BlackBerry App World. There are several new features which are outlined below.

a) By enabling the Tweet Location feature, you can pinpoint your location in a neighbourhood and include it in your Tweets. To try out this feature, complete the following steps

- Open Twitter for BlackBerry smartphones v1.1

- Press the Menu key and select Options

- Enable Add Location To Tweet and save your changes

After enabling this setting, you'll notice a new compass icon that appears to the right of the photo icon below the Tweet box. To add your location, select this icon and your BlackBerry smartphone will determine where you are and add it to any new Tweets you submit.  Viewing someone else's location - if they have enabled this feature - is really easy too!

b) Several changes have been made to "branding"to enhance the Twitter for BlackBerry smartphone experience, like updated graphics that reflect the new look of the Twitter brand and a streamlined layout of the Add Photo and Add Location icons on the Home screen.

c) The next time you Retweet something, it will appear in your Home timeline as ‘Retweeted by You', to quickly alert you that your Retweet was sent successfully.

d) BlackBerry also made several changes to address feedback that we received from BlackBerry Beta Zone users reported during the Twitter for BlackBerry smartphones v1.1 beta. One of the issues we've addressed is the "Unable to Find Location" error message that appeared whenever a user attempted to submit a new tweet.
