Sounds great, but there's a typo. Based on the previous track record, that date should be May 28, 2010

The 1.6 version sounds great but so did 1.5. I will be looking forward to Thursday to see if it is actually released.

Facebook just really sucks for blackberry. I want to like it but I mean it is just the same mobile site that everyone gets to use nothing special... At least myspace has its own experience for bb..

FB mobile is good enough to just upload photos and have your contacts updated and sync with your address book. thats about all i ever use it for. **** all drama.

Contact sync. big deal. It doesn't bring published phone numbers from FB over to the BB contact list, just pics and some other misscelleanous junk.

I thought it would do better than that.

fb is a huge disappointment compared to the iphone client

and even worse, there is no like/unlike option in the client, no video uploading, no interactive tag support on pictures, no video support whatsoever, and the interface is way overdue for a refreshing new design...or at least anything that will make it a bit more interesting and less of a hassle to use.

Default Fb 1.6 Bb

I'm realatively new to FB, and have to say that I like the FB 1.5 BB app, and am looking into the improvements listed in 1.6. I don't want, or need, every single feature on the PC site on my BB. Hope 1.6 is released on time.

So do I Mitch, from the moment it was released, I installed it and set it up to not sync with my address book or calendar, just notifications. I realized that people were having issues with the contact and calendar sync. The application works just fine for me, it's extremely fast since I switched my email from Yahoo over to Gmail, Yahoo has too many delays for me. Gmail works the best and the fastest on a BlackBerry in my opinion...

This brings up a question I have. In order to get the FB BB notifications to work, do you have to have the email address you have set up in FB being pushed to your BB via BIS?

I haven't had any problems with 1.5, but I swear that when I removed my FB email account from my BIS account, I stopped getting FB notifications on my device.

I too use Gmail for my FB account

Yes, you need the Gmail address pushed to your BlackBerry using BIS. Then on a PC go to your Facebook account and under Settings >Notifications, set it up for what you want to be notified of, wall post, someone posts after you, friend request, etc...

Use this guide to set up Gmail on your BlackBerry http://forums.crackberry.com/f3/gmai...ail+sent+items
