First off, I've been a Blackberry fan for years and still continue to be (more on that later). I have a 9700 currently and last night I got a 3GS 16 GB (only a week old) for $150. (Absolute steal I know)
I was looking for a suitable multitasker (wait for OS4) to replace my Berry. Something a bit more fun. The iPhone 3GS is nice and all but it couldnt maintain a signal inside my office. My Blackberry doesnt get an excellent signal either but its at least somewhat usable where the iPhone said No Service most of the time. I ended up selling it today for $500. What good is any phone if I don't get any signal? Blackberry is still the workhorse...
On to the topic:
Facebook for iPhone is SO much better. It's so much more detailed and runs completely off of WiFi. All pictures load in the blink of an eye, and you have a full view and use of Facebook. Why can't the Facebook for Blackberry experience be this good? Ours is SUCH a dinosaur compared to what Apple gets. It's a shame, really.
I use Facebook on my iPod Touch and I wish the Blackberry version would have Facebook chat integrated in to it. If it was comparable to the iPhone/iPod version I would be happy. I have noticed the Blackberry version also doesn't load most of the posts people put up. I would like to be able to see when friends add new people or things like that which it never shows.
Developers are able to make far superior apps on the iPhone that for blackberry. It's like having EA sports make Madden 2010 for PS2 and PS3. Well there's only so much you can do with PS2.
the native iPhone Facebook app is the best hands-down, of course, but the bar is set pretty low for comparing the BB app...
any other platform is probably better than it... the mobile website itself is easily more usable than the native BB app. It's got to be one of the most sluggish unresponsive apps on the Blackberry.
The FB app on the BB only saving grace is push notifications. I'm using a BB 9000 at the moment and I can never see what my friends are saying. The app can never pull the post. Useless.

I did like the Facebook application on the iPhone when I had one, but I do prefer the Facebook app on my bb. It just seems better to me. But maybe I'm biased because I have always been partial to bb.
