Editor's review of Facebook for BlackBerry
4.0 stars
- "A reliable pinch-hitter"
Facebook for BlackBerry is the perfect symbiosis of functionality and ease. So long as your carrier is supported and you've set up your Facebook profile to receive messages on your mobile phone, you'll be able to use all of Facebook's core functionality to interact with friends. What you lose in being able to use third-party apps you partially gain in the ability to upload photos from your phone directly to your profile.
Updating friend details can take some time, and it would be nice to see a few more features fleshed out, like searching for friends instead of merely inviting them. However, the interface is cleaner than Facebook's mobile site and does an excellent job keeping the lifeline of your profile open until you can get to a computer to take your turn at Scrabulous.

Version: Facebook for BlackBerry 1
"Not worth the time to download"
Pros: Didn't like it at all
Cons: There's no real interaction with the site
Summary: This application gives you even less interaction with Facebook than using the mobile landing page (m.facebook.com). Not worth the time to download it or the device space needed.
