Facebook v2.0 updated in BlackBerry Beta Zone!
If you are participating in the Facebook beta through the BlackBerry Beta Zone, then you will be happy to hear that v2.0 was just updated. This version apparently fixes an issue a lot of users were reporting regarding signing in to the app. If you aren't currently a member of the Beta Zone then unfortunately this update isn't available to you. It's never to late to sign up to be a beta tester though, so head on over to blackberry.com/beta and get registered! You may even win a prize next week for being a member of the Beta Zone as RIM is having a celebration for reaching over 100,000 Beta Zone participants.

Wish they would release this for OS 5 already.
Really hope they're not going to leave us out in the cold. :(

"lease note the initial beta release will be available for BlackBerry 6 users only, but support for BlackBerry® Device Software 4.6 and higher will be added in subsequent beta releases and will be available in the official version." - There we go ;)

It won't allow me to download. Freaking aannoying, sent an e-mail to beta info but no reply.

For those that have to cut and paste. Open the email press menu, click select. That will give you a curser to cut and paste.

The best part is that Facebook chat works again! That was my problem after I upgraded to 5.0.0.526. Now it all works.

What version is this Facebook 2.0?
Connor83 Apr 9, 2011 at 10:53 pm
The one thing I noticed in the last version was the cursor seemed to be sped up on the facebook navgation screen. And it was a little hard to pick notifacations there. I hope it's easier now

Thanks already downloaded eariler this week. V2.0.16. Chat is working!
tcart Apr 9, 2011 at 11:31 pm
MAJOR props to BB Beta!!!!!!!!! If you are a true @crackberry addict then this opportunity from RIM is up your alley.
I just download the FB 2.0 and i am very impressed. I like seeing all the notifications in one place and the chat feature is sweet!!
SniperFery Apr 10, 2011 at 1:18 am
Damn!! Seeing all of the good things came out from RIM since OS6 has been the best of all!! So bad that they lefted out my 8500's with noo OS6 Capabilities :(
Oh well, guess next year, I won't be getting another smarthphone without possible update (I.e Samsung's Phone) for example : a nexus one that released with Eclair has been updated to GingerBread and will be getting every update and google (also the brother of it, NexuS)
MxWhite Apr 10, 2011 at 2:32 am
Dam looks so friggen amazing! i wish they would just release it NOW!!!! lol i hate the facebook app right now so much! its annoying!!!!
bibeberry Apr 10, 2011 at 3:39 am
Where is FACEBOOK GROUPS??? :(
cribble2k Apr 10, 2011 at 3:47 am
Fuck Facebook in the face.
Shroomz Apr 10, 2011 at 5:35 am
This app is brilliant !!
mssca Apr 10, 2011 at 11:25 am
Now the chat is working, I think this is the best Facebook app ever. Also, RIM needs to improve on how Facebook chat nortifications work. New chat will show up with a red star, but it won't tell you who contacted you unless you open up the Facebook app. I hope they fix that.
iLuLu Apr 10, 2011 at 12:58 pm
I tested this out but after one day I went back to Socialscope...I can live without FB chat
theKHMERboy Apr 10, 2011 at 1:04 pm
i dl it the update for the facebook 2.0... is anyone else not gettin any notifications on their facebook app or is it just me?
genodelick Apr 10, 2011 at 1:17 pm
I'm from Mexico, and as soon as I try to register, the blackberry beta page says that the service is not given @ my country.
Can someone post an alternate link for this sw??
Thanx a lot!!!
acrogenesis Apr 10, 2011 at 5:36 pm
no se puede! lo que yo hice fue en una vuelta que tuve aya hice la cuenta y ya me sirve aka :)
genodelick Apr 11, 2011 at 9:29 pm
No pues x mas q le intento no me deja. Solo me dice q me mandara un recordatorio cuando el servicio este disponible!!

It's odd to me that so many users were having issues with FB chat and/or logging into the app. Me personally, I haven't had ANY problems what-so-ever. Notifications have been coming thru perfectly, FB chat seems to work almost instantly. Needless to say, I haven't missed a single bit of info since the release of Facebook 2.0 in the Beta Zone.
To be honest, I was hesitant to even update to the new version because the previous version had been working great for me! But, of course, I couldn't resist the temptation knowing their was a newer version...so I updated! As far as I can tell, everything is working like it should be. Only been using it for about a day now tho!
Anyway, thanks for the heads up CrackBerry! :)
theKHMERboy Apr 10, 2011 at 2:30 pm
yeah i get what u are saying and everything in the facebook app has been working for me to just im not gettin any notifications... like sometimes it would work perfect and now i am not gettin notified but then everything still works on this app
LuayS Apr 11, 2011 at 1:55 pm
Chat is working I thought my phone was just all messed up. I still get the can't connect to Facebook server error from time to time tho.
