It all started a few years back with my Nokia 6620 and it's limited email capabilities. I started browsing for email clients and I found that the only one that did the job more than right was Profimail. But what a problem it was a licensed product.So I opted to keep my crappy email client instead of paying a few dollars for the one I needed.
Then it was music player for my E71. Same thing I found out that the LCG Jukebox was better than my Nokia player every day of the week but did not pay for it and kept my below standard player.
So this last week I did a test run of a series of Twitter clients for S60 3rd Ed FP2 (E72 and family) and guess what I tried Socially,Snaptu(as you read some time ago),Thrill,TweetS60 and Gravity. The main difference between all and Gravity is that when you use Gravity you realize why it is a paid product. You do not get that feeling of Beta or Amateur software. It looks finished and professional. Snaptu was great in this sense but it is a bit limited it is more of a multipurpose app, I will call it the social army knife. Long Story I know but honestly people why do we have to fight so hard to put down a few bucks for a product that is worth a whole lot more.
I am buying Gravity 10 U$S is not going to kill me and I will get my customizable Twitter client.
So I am just saying before you discard a product just because you have to pay for it. Give it a try (all serious software vendors offer demos) and then make an educated decision. I know it feels bad to spend money on software that does the same thing you get for free. But if it does it perfect versus "just OK" guess what , then the price is right.
My comments on Gravity it is just like having your desktop client. Options for looks,Options for retweets,options for Timeline,Options for autoupdate and notification. So you can go from a die hard hyperconnected update me every minute to update it once a day. And get notified with a ringtone and vibration. It does twitpic. So again as I have been saying for a while if you like what you see put down your money and make sure you keep seeing something from those guys that make great software.
