Facebook For Blackberry
Rating: 
I know lots of people that are using the Blackberry smart phones. Short of the iPhone, these are the hottest phones around. These phones are common issue in many corporate environments and now the beauty of facebook can be experienced on the new smartphones. I have seen this application in action and it is very intuitive and easy to use and has fairly robust functionality. If you have a Blackberry, this is a must have application.
You can learn about the Blackberry smart phones: The Curve, Pearl and 8800 here.
Almost 400,000 blackberry owners have installed this application and nearly 100,000 use it daily. It is important to note that you must subscribe to BlackBerry data service to use this application. Facebook for BlackBerry smartphones gives you wireless access to:
* Home screen notifications so you know when you have a new Facebook event (like a new wall post or message)
* The full text of new messages or wall posts, who’s poking you, new photo tags and friend requests
* Your status and the status of your friends
* All of your Facebook friends
* Photo-sharing – simply take a picture with your BlackBerry smartphone’s camera, then post it to Facebook with one click; you can even tag your friends
* The Facebook experience you’re already familiar with, optimized for and integrated with your BlackBerry smartphone

Rodney, I totally agree. Faceberry is really great. It makes me laugh however because it did NOT eliminate the “is” from Status updates.
So if you are reading your friends updates, there will always be is and it makes them look stupid. However, if you are updating your status from your Blackberry, you must also use “is” and sometimes it is a bit confusing, and outdated (if you have already updated from the web).
I was going to say exactly what Stephanie said. The only other problem with the Faceberry is you can’t read your inbox. But other than that, it is a very helpful little app.
Nothing compares to the iPhone Facebook interface, that was an awesome release from Facebook. I believe Apple has featured it a few times on their website of how to use iPhone Safari for application building.
