Facebook 1.5 for BlackBerry
March 4th, 2009 | by Cento
After being available for over a year without receiving any update the implementation of Facebook for BlackBerry now comes a new version, in this case we are talking about version 1.5.
Improvements in the new version are:
- BlackBerry Integration Message: You can now tie your Facebook inbox into your main BlackBerry inbox, Allowing you to check for new Facebook messages without opening the application.
- BlackBerry Calendar Integration: If enabled, it will create a new "Facebook" calendar into the on-device app Calendar RSVP'd with all of your events and friend's birthdays. (Be sure to make use of that friend's birthdays bit - your friends will think you're the nicest guy on the planet. If you do not have a BlackBerry, use fbCal)
- BlackBerry Contacts Integration: Allows you to link profiles to on-device contacts, syncing phone numbers, various details, and photos onto the handset automatically.
- Call friends from within the application, if they've listed their number.
- Status message commenting - it was added to Facebook some time ago, but has been absent from the BlackBerry app.
- Option to change the phone numbers listed in your profile (which is probably the one thing on our profile we change the least)
- Automatic login to the Facebook WAP site, if you launch it from the app
