Well lets have a quick look at what the application can do and you judge for yourself if its worth the money?

TWITTER

Gravity was initially classed as a Twitter application in the early days and boy is it a fully featured Twitter client today!
You can do just about anything you want on Gravity for Twitter including Reply, Reply-to-all, RT, Retweet, DM, Favourite, see In-Reply-To, Geotag Tweets & view Geotagged Tweets, Add to/Delete/Create Lists, Follow/Unfollow, Block & Report Spam, View Friends/Followers, View Photos (Nearly all photo services are viewable), forward tweets to Ping.fm/SMS/Clipboard, Save URL’s in Tweets to Delicious/Instapaper/Read-It-Later, Search for tweets/users and listen to tweeted Audioboo’s within Gravity itself. Plus you can set audio and visual notifications for the account. Anything I forgot?

STATUS.NET (Identi.ca)

Status.net is an open source social network service which works exactly like Twitter, I used to use it mostly for Identi.ca, but all my friends are on Twitter now, so I don’t use it as much, but its still a fully features service within Gravity and allows you to do exactly the same as a Twitter account in Gravity (see above).

FACEBOOK

You can use Gravity for Facebook, but its very limited in its use, you can view the News Feed & Friends Status Updates and then Comment, Like, Forward to Ping.fm/SMS/Clipboard, view images in-line and Save URL’s in Tweets to Delicious/Instapaper/Read-It-Later. Problem with Facebook in Gravity is you don’t get any form of Notifications of comments or direct messages which makes it a little unusable for hardcore users.

FOURSQUARE

Foursquare the location aware social service can be used in Gravity to view using google maps in-built into Gravity your History, Badges, Friends Places, Places Nearby then Check-in, Silent Check-in or Shout from any of these places. You can also search for Places to Check-In and manually add a new venue. Only thing you can’t do in Gravity is accept new friends requests.

GOOGLE READER

You can stay fully synchronised with Google Reader using Gravity and view all your new items from Feed Folders or “All Items” at once, from whatever view you use you will be able to Read, Mark-as-read, Favourite (Star), Share (Shared), Tweet (using accounts within Gravity), open/copy/share URLs for individual items or for all items in view you can Mark-all-as-read, update for newer items, view your own Starred or Shared Items and Search all items. Using Gravity for Google Reader while mobile is very handy and you can also update and read offline wherever you are, but the single biggest feature it needs is to view images within the Read, if we had that it would be perfect

IMAGE GALLERY

From Gravity you can view all the images on your mobile phone, ones taken using the camera, screenshots or downloaded images, and send to twitter or facebook. When sending an image to twitter you can select which image service you wish to use – Flickr, TwitPic, Mobypicture, Posterous, TwitGoo, Yfrog or img.ly. You can select which Twitter account you want to send to if you have more than one account and you can also select the Quality of the image from Original, High, Medium or Low.

Even though Gravity is so feature packed, we, okay I, always want more, so the following is a list of improvements I’d like to see in Gravity:

GERRYMOTH THOUGHTS

Personally looking at the features above alone I’d say Gravity is worth the money, but what features doesn’t show you is the overall user experience and the user interface (UI) that Gravity has. Gravity is fast, smooth and a joy to use on any Nokia device, be it the latest and greatest N8 to the old and tiring E71 I have. I know whatever device I use the one application which is a joy to always use is Gravity, that’s down to Jan Ole Suhr (@janole) the developer who has given to Symbian for the last year the UI experience Nokia are trying to produce now with Symbian^3. I was one of the very first beta tester for Gravity when it first started and I have seen the application grow, expand, improve and astonish in what a single application can provide, plus the application is always being updated, improved and new features added by Jan all the time and when a new stable update is available the application will tell you when you first open it up. I know I’ve listed a few improvements above, but that isn’t a complaints list, its a can you add it to the application update list and knowing Jan, if he has the time he probably will add to Gravity, that’s one great thing with Jan he will listen to his customers and give them what they want, but its always good when Jan surprises us and gives us a new feature we never thought of
