I installed FB 1.7 on my BB tour running OS 5.0.0.230 and it totally sucks. Very slow and can't get anything done. I have been trying to get my hands on the original installation files for version 1.6.0.22 which worked fine on my phone. Does anyone have the original installation files? Or if someone has it on their phone, can they use BBSAK (BB Swiss Army Knife to extra the files? I can show them how, its pretty easy.
In my case I have the Bold 9000 and upgraded, only to get the "can't connect" (or whatever) error & then I read somewhere 1.7 requires BIS, which 1.6 didn't (I don't have BIS).
Then when I followed the "normal" links to download, and browsed to 1.6, it claimed my phone was an unsupported device.
Just go to the above link and use Desktop Manager to add the application, & you're golden.

Did anyone test the above with a Bold? Does it install ok? Have already tried 4 versions of fb that i found in the forum and none work on my bold.. Others did not install at all and others just launched the browser to download 1.7...
