If you are an avid Facebook user and possess a phone that has the ability to render the site, chances are you are checking the website on the go. Alternatively, if you have a Blackberry running OS 1.6, chances are you are waiting for the ability to check the website on the go.
Well, Facebook and RIM have recently released a press statement that details the launch of Facebook for Blackberry 1.6. Below are the changes and additions made to the software courtesy of BoyGeniusReport:
- Status updates and highlights on the home page – you can now view your friends’ most recent status updates right on the home page. Highlights like photo uploads and wall posts are just a click away and you can comment on a photo, poke a friend, etc right from the home page.
- Wall access from within Facebook for BlackBerry – with one click on your friend’s profile picture from the home page, you can access their wall without having to go to the mobile site.
- Photo viewing in a simple, easy-to-use slideshow format – check out your friends’ latest photo albums with improved photo viewing, and view albums in a simple and easy-to-use slideshow format. Just scroll back and forth through the thumbnails along the bottom to display the larger picture in the center of the screen.
- Facebook for BlackBerry 1.6 will also support three new languages:
- Thai
- Indonesian
- European Portuguese
If you haven’t discovered why people tend to call Blackberry cellphones Crackberries, you’ll soon find out once you download the new Facebook app.
You can snag said app by pointing your mobile web browser to www.blackberry.com/facebook.

Yep, forget the $199 deal that AT&T is giving you. Head over to CrackBerry and their brand new wireless store to get the same AT&T BlackBerry 8900 for a measly $19.99, but keep in mind that this offer is only available for new customers and all AT&T subscribers who are eligible for an upgrade will still have to shell out $149.99. Still, a great deal for something that carries a 3.2 megapixel camera, QWERTY keypad, WiFi, and GPS functionalities.
