Here it is, folks, at long last. Its been over a month and a half since details of Facebook v1.5 for BlackBerry spilled all over the place, but it’s now available for anyone and everyone with a compatible ‘Berry.
Beyond the standard bug fixes and performance tweaks, the biggest updates are all focused around integration: Facebook messages can now be routed through your standard messaging inbox, Facebook events and birthdays can be auto-added to your calendar, and contacts (complete with pictures) can now be pulled from Facebook into your BlackBerry contact list. They’ve also made a few minor changes (such as the ability to comment on status updates) for the sake of keeping up with the browser version.
Facebook for BlackBerry v1.5 will hit Blappworld tomorrow, but can be nabbed right this second from mobile.blackberry.com (on a BlackBerry) or www.blackberry.com/go/facebook (on a desktop).
I was hoping for the ability to comment on status updates and other things from friends. Do you know?
downloaded it and answered my own question. Yes, we can now comment on status updates.
Otherwise it looks almost the same. Not a huge update but nice none-the-less.
When are they going to make an app for the google phone? Come on put whatever feud with google and give us “G1 Users” a decent application.
great news for berry fans. it seems way too many people can’t live without constant facebooking anymore – wherever i look around, i see folks walking around with their smartphones texting and social networking on the go …. ;)
yes great news for all us.
OMG. Just what I’ve been wishing for! <3 <3
