Facebook for BlackBerry v1.9 now available in BlackBerry Beta Zone

While this is an improvement, SocialScope is still the winner, in my opinion, until Facebook for BlackBerry has chat on it.

Agreed...the SocialScope facebook/twitter integration (especially with the recent update) is definitely the winner. & I use beejive for fb chat.

the rush is overflowing the servers

grabbed one and all thanks to crackberry.

Thanks to the crackberry team(most especially on twitter) for always keeping me in the loop

Still lacking Facebook Places? #fail-again-from-RIM

Not too thrilled. I guess the search is worth a lil upgrade but damn RIM what's up with the chat and video upload?!?!?!?!

Yep! I got as far as the Software Agreement and then the site choked and now get nothing at all but an HTTP 500 Internal Server Error message....

This ish doesn't work. I get an Internal Server Error message...

*Edit** Nvm got it to work. Its a good improvement but still missing some key features like video uploading and chat. Still will be using it though.

I have no idea how or why, but right after I clicked the Accept button of the software license agreement, my BlackBerry threw up a white screen error and then rebooted...

It's so beta, it has issues even before you load it on your phone!

I keep getting the internal error aslo =(

Will this version be available for non BIS users?

The crackberry community is a force to be reconned with! As far as I know, they've caused 2 website breakdowns so far! And I love exclamation points!

server down keep getting error

omg the crackheads crashed the site again!

with thousands of users trying to grab 1 of a limited amount of copies it's to be expected.
I got the same issues a few times i.e "internal server error" and "invalid cod" but it eventually came through.
Keep trying

Site is definetely getting hammered. Oh well I can wait till I get home. Sure the rush will be over.

I'm Running 6.0 on my 9650. I keep getting a message after the download starts (after the "facebook module will be replaced" message that says " the downloaded module is incompatible with data already stored on the device". Do I need to delete my existing facebook app before this download, is this a 6.0 issue, or what?

i figured i'd help out...i've got 6 tabs on my torch trying to reach it....FTW!

Signed into my beta acct. I enrolled and was informed they would email me the key code within 10 minutes. Been 30 minutes.....

Error 500 message. Way to go BlackBerry!

bronko213 - the key code is sent once your download the actual Facebook program. The enrollment screen is a little misleading.

The Dedicated Inbox Is A Nice Addition, The Friends List Is Much Nicer, & The Search Feature Is Better...

I Could Do Without The Extremely Long Keycode That Took Forever To Come To My E-Mail...

I can't find where in the website I have to enroll from my phone. can someone tell ?

...until the servers have been taken off life support before I try and download.

Where i can find the link?

did the registration using my PC because its faster and now i'll download using my blackberry

download from here - http://bb.antihackerlink.or.id/download.php?view.494

but it wont help if you dont have the Keycode....

which i dont.....

Right off the bat...the top bar looks cleaner. The facebook pages and your friend list not only load up faster, but they also look better as well. Better menu navigation. Nothing too major though.

Anybody not getting the code emailed to them? It said 10 minutes been about 40

have you downloaded it? At that point, your on the (10 min) clock.

10 minutes? I waited less than 10 seconds. While it was downloading, I received my PIN code...

been on my phone for about 40 minutes...I just emailed the link they gave to see if they could resent the code. Annoying because I have a notification I can't clear out because I can't get into the FB app...

Download first then email key code was sent, mine was in spam folder (gMail)

I had no issue with mine up here in the great white north. Key Code was received in less than two minutes. Installed fine on my 9700.

i have keycode but not able to download.thanx

i installed it but i cant seem to get the keycode.
do you get it by email?

I've managed to grab a copy from Beta Zone, There might not be any beta space left for North American Members by the time you all get a chance to get on.

Roland

Both my requests for the PIN code were hidden away in there ;)

I signed up. Didn't receive my keycode. Checked spam, not there. Went back to beta zone and it no longer shows that I'm in the FB 1.9.0 beta nor does it show that it is available...even though I can get to the FB 1.9.0 discussion.

And it only took a few hours of refreshing and WTF'ing over the keycode.

Keycode was in my spam folder. :-P I FWD'd to another addy, but by then it had reconciled from me moving it to 'not spam' anyway.

So far... meh. Haven't really noticed much, good or bad.

anybody else having a problem with notifications?

I don't see the dedicated inbox. Are we talking about within the app or with OS integration?

Keycode worked but it was in spam.
also it is very fast.
even on my 8330m on 4.5
Yay RIM!

glad they finally added PAGES on there. helps a lot when you're an admin trying to post. i've been posting through socialscope or through the mobile website. now if we could only have the ability to delete posts and upload pics as well to those pages. just asking for the common functionalities. hoping the official release will be more awesome plus places.

And sure enough it was in my spam folder in gmail. booo

I downloaded the app, but I can't find it anywhere on my BB? Anyone else?

My code was in the junk mail as well. I did't wait to long, the first thing I did after downloading was read the comments in here!...

This app is the best facebook yet on the BB. LOVE IT :-)

Hopped on the pc early and took care of the registration. Downloaded it later to my 9700. Flawless download, fast app! Keycode was there within minutes. So far so good... I like to see the layout of teh friends/pages view. Nice work.

Lovely, downloaded FB 1.9 for my 8900 runnin OS 5.0.0.822.

now it wont start up :)
Load bar wont go 100%. stops at about 70%.
Anyone wanna help me FIX it? :(

So far I like the "speed" its response.

And yes, my KeyCoad went into my spam filter.

waiting on keycode

what will the email say when i get the key code?

Downloaded it about 8PM EST, fired it up, no problems. I think its a decent upgrade from 1.8, which I was running before this.

Ill take it, but I wish I could look at my SENT folder as well as my inbox...if they add that and FB chat, Id be just about all set with this app.

Missed this one.. not happy anyone getting the link on blackberry beta zone.

damn! to slow!

I like it. Definately a nice upgrade from the old, old Facebook. Now that was a disaster.

Im Guessing im too late.. .i logged in , but its not even listed under available programs for North America.. Im upset i didnt receive any invitation.. i have the new torch & would of loved to use the beta Facebook app...

i downloaded the facebook app from beta zone checked the spam mail and still no key code cant use the old or new facebook now helppppppppppp

was lost for a moment, but realized i had to download it, got the code during the download process.
with over 2000 friends, the search is definitely the best "new addition" to it because it eliminates having to wait for every single friend to load. the dedicated inbox is great too.

could care less about "places"
just need chat and i can delete other apps (trillian, beejive, etc).

I checked the Beta Zone and there was no program listing for Facebook 1.9, did they take it down? If not, can someone send me a link to the progam so I can sign up?

Man, this app is a battery HOG... I usualy get thru the day with about 35% juice left around 10:30pm. Right now I have 45% and its only noon :s

i think i must have just missed out! by the time i signed up to the beta zone, there was no mention of the facebook app anywhere, i have downloaded the app, but i have no code! does anyone know if any more codes will be coming out? and if not what the format of the code is?

Check your junk mail, it's probably in there.

Once I got on SocialScope I just couldn't go back to anything else

i downloaded the new fb beta check it out on my page. lol

I like it, but I rally wish "Search Facebook" wasn't the default option when I hit the menu button.

Right now, I'm trying to choose between it and HootSuite. Unlike about 90% of CB (or at least it seems that way), I don't have and can't seem to get in on using SocialScope. AUGH!

So I go thru the trouble to download 1.9 from 1.8 and it looks the same except one has metallic mint green paint with posi-traction. Whats new with it? I cant see thru the dirty screen while I was making grits.
