After a fairly lengthy beta period, Facebook for BlackBerry v2.0 has been officially released and is now available for download via BlackBerry App World. Facebook for BlackBerry v2.0 contains many new features including:
- Brand New User Interface
- Facebook Chat
- Improved News Feed
- Enhanced Profiles
- Core Integration with your BlackBerry smartphone (BBM integration)
Did I see in (RIM’s) change log that the new update adds “WiFi Compatibility”? Was that really JUST added? If so, that might explain why the FB app on BlackBerry was more or less worthless for checking feeds last year. I actually like the 2.0 upgrade, at least for alerting me of messages, comments, etc. It’s just a little too spaced out to check feeds on it, and I think it’s trying too hard to look like the computer version, when you would never actually to click a lot of the flash videos and weblinks that get posted…
