Surprise of surprises! On a day that Europeans eventually got to dig into the Windows Phone 7 cake in earnest, Twitter’s central app for a prohibited brand-new platform has also gone live. We’ve downloaded it to our own WP7 device as well as are having the play around with it right away. If you need a refresher as to what it looks like, check out a video after the mangle.

Update: Okay, you can conjunction log in nor get signed up at present, though others have clearly achieved a feat already. Twitter.com itself keeps swapping between its brand-new and aged versions, so you think there’s quite a bit of work starting upon behind a scenes during benefaction. To answer your queries, loading time from the live tile menu to the tip tweets page on top of is about 3 seconds, whilst scrolling is fundamentally identical to a soundness accessible upon WP7’s own apps. Swiping aside gets you into Trends, Suggested, and Nearby categories that take a couple of moments to load up their tweets, though otherwise match the performance.

Exiting to the live tile menu throws you out of whatever you were doing and re-entering the app — as is standard for a Windows Phone 7 march right now — equates to starting from blemish. The usually way you can save you state is by locking the phone, which takes a second or dual to resume when unlocked as well as returns you to a expect point you were during. Great, now let us in, Twitter!

Hold up, reader David Gordon points out that you can hit the live tile menu around the Windows/Start pass and afterwards lapse to Twitter by a Back symbol, yay, which functions as well.

Update 2: There are still errors being thrown up, though we finally got ourselves logged in. Well, it looks only similar to a vid promised it would as well as a app itself is working flawlessly, there have been no estimate delays which you can see. Oh, as well as there’s a landscape mode. Our usually bugbear is which there’s no differentiation between your own tweets as well as those of your friends. Ah good, check out a art studio below.Twitter for Windows Phone 7 hands-on
