Gravity
One of the best S60 apps in any category. Gravity looks gorgeous and is very easy to use, but don’t let that fool you: this is a full-featured Twitter client.

Shozu
This well-known Symbian client supports Twitter status updates. It’s a little awkward to configure – you have to install Shuzu first and then add Twitter support.
