Has anyone received an notification in v1.5 to download the latest version of facebook?
I did just now, and it prompted me to download version 1.2.0... I stupidly clicked the link, thinking it was the official release....and it basically downgraded me from 1.5 back to alas 1.2.0.. lost all my message history...not impressed!
anyway, got back 1.5 :-) but still not impressed...
I had been running Facebook 1.5 for about 3 weeks, and yesterday i finally downgraded back to 1.2. Seems that 1.5 still has some bugs. I was not getting facebook notifications, and the few that i did where coming in hours, if not days delayed. It also kept giving me an error message when i would try to open it.
I realize that 1.2 is nothing special but i would perfer to have less options and have it work perfect, than have a few more features and constantly be fighting with the app.
1.5 has extra features - I love the fact that stuff goes into my message folder so I can keep track of all comms in one place. Got mine off the facebook site today. Not mind-blowing, but some nice extras - roll on 2.0!

The biggest improvement I can find is that it integrates with your contacts - places pictures in your phonebook and searches for friends based on your phonebook entries too.
am a little nervous about utilizing all the functions of the new app. "...and you acknowledge that access to this data (e.g. by applications) will no longer be subject to your and your facebook friends privacy settings once stored on your blackberry device." What are they trying to say? That EVERY contact, whether they belong to facebook or not, can have their information taken and used by whoever, whenever... and not just by Facebook but by the other 3rd party apps (such as games and whatnot) that has access to your page? I just would like that clarified prior to screwing all 1000+ contacts on my phone.
One thing I noticed is that from the menu of any e-mail or SMS app, you can Send a Message, Write on a Wall, or Poke (will someone please kill that friggin poke thing?!?).
I can't find the old version anywhere. Does anyone have the 1.2?? This new version has replaced my contact pics with FB pics, and now my calendar is messed up.
