First of all I love my Bold 9780 and I'm glad I gave up my Torch for this phone. However, the facebook app keeps failing us Blackberry users once again: I'm getting duplicate message notifications from Facebook in my messages application. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? If yes has anyone found a solution.
I'm on an unbranded 9780 on AT&T.
Merry Christmas to you all.

I've also experienced this problem with my new 9300 that father christmas bought
AFAIK and also being a novice BlackBerry user, the Facebook notifications are not actually 'stored' in the Inbox, they just 'display' there.
If you notice, when you open one, it takes you straight to the Facebook app to display the message.
Anyhow, as far as the duplications go, I do not know when they occur, but what resolved the problem for me when it did occur was:-
1) sign out of the facebook app - open facebook and goto options, then 'sign out' (this will cause the notifications in the inbox to dissappear as you are not signed in)
2) do a battery pull
3) sign back into FB
You should notice that the notifications will come back into your inbox but they will not be duplicated.
This procedure somehow resets them or causes FB to download them again.
However it looks like its a problem with the FB app itself.
I too am running version 1.9. Hopefully there will be a fix for this in 2.0 ?
I've noticed it does this only when you do a battery pull WITHOUT logging out of Facebook first. If you log out of facebook first, then do a battery pull, the items will not duplicate.
