Facebook mobile on the Blackberry 8820 review

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

MySpace is dead long live Facebook. As every man and his iPhone carrying dog knows face book is the social networking tool. It is good, I have to give the creators that. They are certainly creating a good example of web 2.0 and how to use Ajax (that is a programming language - not the household cleaner lol.) the Facebook team are always improving the service they provide, a recent-ish service is a Facebook ap for blackberry’s!

The small Facebook app is handy; it has an offline application feel to it (although you need to be online to use it.) Which allows you to message contacts, poke people and write on walls. It also displays status updates and you can change your own update.

If you’re a fan of third party apps like fun wall it will either send you to the Facebook mobile site or you will have to wait until you can log in to a pc.

It is very handy for writing quick notes to people and random poking while you’re travelling! Lol

One other thing, in order for it to work with your phone you have to link your mobile number to Facebook and of course install an application.

If you have a Blackberry then go to the Blackberry site on your phone and give it a try.

Other formats may be available, so best check with your manufacturer/operator.

Thank you
