    I just deleted Facebook because I couldn't stand the application.

    Hopefully the new application is better.

    true, the app ( as it is right now) is kinda pointless actually, just provides easy access to a few features.

    Unless FB opens up the FB chat API to RIM (or the general public for that matter), chat won't be implemented in the next BB FB app.

    The reason why chat works on the iphone is because FB developed that app. RIM develped the FB BB app.

    I really wanted this to work. Tried it twice before and had serious leak issues. For some reason I cannot comprehend, I tried it again. No leak issue this time, but now that I've had it a while it only does a couple of things. Notifications and lets me upload pics. Let's just say on other platforms this is a very useful app. I love my phone, but this is very disappointing.

    I gave up on FB too. It was eating way too much memory to make it worthwhile. I loved being able to upload pics and keep track of my notifications, but I can do most of that using the FB mobile site. I hope 1.5 is a huge improvement!

    All we know so far is detailed in the link by the OP. But if you don't to click it:

    * New Account Creation - the ability to create a new Facebook account directly on the BlackBerry handheld.
    * Access and Manage Facebook Phone Book - the ability to view friends phone numbers, request friends phone numbers, publish your phone number and even add these to your BlackBerry address book.
    * Facebook Birthday and BlackBerry Calendar Link - the ability to automatically import & link friends birthdays in to the BlackBerry Calendar as part of the Facebook Friend List linking
    * Facebook Event Calendar and Blackberry Calendar Link - the ability to save Facebook events into the BlackBerry Calendar. Facebook events will be differentiated by a different color and an event reminder notification may be set up.

    If it doesn't add wifi (for us wifi only users) it isn't worth my time.

    the current blackberry FB app lacks way too many functions to be useful.
