"you have no excuse not to be"...
Adam, please keep in mind that unfortunately the Beta Zone is not available to all the countries in the World, such as Portugal, which is the one I live in...

Can't you lie about what country you're in?
KennyBahama Jun 13, 2012 at 3:49 pm
Haha, I asked myself the same question. I'm in the Bahamas and that's exactly what I did lol...shhhh
nano404 Jun 13, 2012 at 5:21 pm
Kenny, can't you sign up from the Bahamas? Most countries should be OK, including the Bahamas. I signed up while I was still in the Turks and Caicos and I was fine.
nano404 Jun 13, 2012 at 5:25 pm
Ok, just looked at the country list. Guess I was wrong on the "most countries" part, the Bahamas is there though. I assumed that once Turks wass on the list then every other country has to be there, lol.

Still doesn't have the near to option we are the last for everything
crumbonthefloor Jun 13, 2012 at 11:51 am
I wish I could be part of it, still, I am still waiting approval !
jdelvalle56 Jun 13, 2012 at 11:55 am
Twitter just got a update too. Keep them coming!
mckillio Jun 13, 2012 at 11:58 am
These are some much needed bug fixes. Still waiting on Events though. (Can't believe we got groups before events)
janeka Jun 13, 2012 at 12:02 pm
I just wonder if RIM will have the cover photo patch in this update. Events is really not a big deal its out of control on the web when using Facebook.
lalozie Jun 13, 2012 at 12:06 pm
Yeaah..would like to have a cover photo showing in the bacKground of a user.. & ability to post & view groups and manage Pages using the app instead of been sent to the mobile version.

Least I appear to be getting my notifications again (except, still, for messages!). I think all the behind the curtain stuff FB has being doing messed up the previous beta version.
crumbonthefloor Jun 13, 2012 at 1:00 pm
If you open FB on the device simulators on a PC, after 20 minutes if you go to the Notifications tab, the simulator will freeze and has to be closed!
Also on the devices, if you go into an album with 200 pictures or more to see a picture, it won't load!
nano404 Jun 13, 2012 at 5:42 pm
My 9780 loads albums with 200+ pictures fine. I just tried about 3-4.
stackberry369 Jun 13, 2012 at 1:08 pm
And I can't download,it says something about export regulations.
Creaulx Jun 13, 2012 at 3:07 pm
Any news (or vague baseless rumours) about when the Playbook might get an update for it's Facebook app? The Android port blows it out of the water for functionality but oh, those tiny link buttons...
sk8er_tor Jun 13, 2012 at 3:22 pm
When it gets BB10.

I signed up for this beta program (Facebook) this morning....but until now, 7 hours later, i still don't have the OTA download. Anybody knows how i should get the OTA update?
ddlax22 Jun 14, 2012 at 12:15 am
Once you sign up for the program go to the download tab to download it. It isn't automatic
jujubest Jun 13, 2012 at 8:55 pm
The News Feed in the beta version seem jumping in sequence (when compare to the pc sequence) and sometimes not even appear...
No file attachment to be included in the Messages.
youknwwho Jun 13, 2012 at 10:44 pm
Some how I still can't get notification pushed to me
decypher44 Jun 14, 2012 at 2:23 am
Liking comments!
Still bummed about no Events. Groups???
satshere Jun 14, 2012 at 12:51 pm
Is it just me who wants to be able to 'mention' existing Facebook friends's name within a status update or comment so that his/her name pops up to select and eventually becomes a link to their profile and they get notified?? i mean while using fb on the PC as soon as you type @jim you immediately get a list of your existing friends to choose from whose name begins with jim... Then I select his name and he too gets notified that I have mentioned him in a status update or comment.... for example i might want to say...
'Had a great time meeting my old friend @Jim (at this point it pops up to list of people in my friends list with the name jim and the i select Jim Balsille :-) Ha Ha...) for lunch during my trip to Waterloo"
The current way of tagging saying 'with somebody' doesn't do full justice...
just my opinion though..
