@Ssumin,

Gravity is similar to Twitterific.

@Hillary,

Haven't tried Gravity yet - how does it compare to free apps like Twitterfon on the iPhone? As a casual smartphone user, it's all about the apps for me. Looking forward to an Ovi store vs. Apple app store vs. Android esp since you've got the developer expertise. In the meantime, sounds like the N97 has a lot of catching up to do, esp as it's touch screen isn't v responsive, a must I feel for any self-respecting touchscreen smartphone! $14.95 for a twitter client is just exorbitant.

Such a nice touch. As for the apps, do you think Gravity may be a little pricey? But I suppose if you can afford the N97, what's $14.95. I really enjoyed the keyboard. Such a nice touch.
