FaceBook Version 1.6.0.22 Launches Bringing OS 5.0 Compatability!

*UPDATE*-Seems as though users who are NOT running 5.0 OS on their devices are having issues with downloading, OTA links can be found in the comments for users running anything less then 5.0.

One of the major concerns with running a leaked version of OS 5.0 has been the fact most RIM designed applications were not yet compatible with OS 5.0. Facebook is of course one such application that until earlier tonight was among the non working applications, but RIM has rather quietly updated Facebook to version 1.6.0.22 which does indeed make it compatible at this time. So if you have been running any of the leaked version 5.0 operating systems and been missing Facebook you can grab the updated version and be back in business.

Posted by peterr22 Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 870 days ago

umm bbm works on 5.0

Posted by drumdog00 Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 870 days ago

I don't have any problems with BBM working on 5.0.0.230.

Posted by GetOnMahLevel Wednesday, Sep 23, 2009 870 days ago

is it the BBM 4.7 or 5.0 version?

Posted by WishinItWas Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 870 days ago

I just went to the mobile site on my Tour and its prompting v1.6.0.21 still? anyone else?

Posted by mersh21 Wednesday, Sep 23, 2009 869 days ago

Same here. What's the deal?

Posted by mordenxp Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 870 days ago

checked on Telus Storm and Rogers Bold, when you goto Rim's page then to the Facebook download, it shows 1.6.0.21.

This story is bogus.

Posted by Majarvis Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 870 days ago

Same here, I still see .21 not .22, even after clearing my cache and doing a battery pull.

Posted by NinjaRAT Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 870 days ago

Still shows as version 1.6.21, after I select it from the Social Network set of apps.

Or am I missing something?

Posted by NinjaRAT Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 870 days ago

I guess I'm not the only one.

Posted by Bla1ze Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 870 days ago

Clear your caches, clearly u can see the download page does indeed exist, cause you know...we would always post fake news here..lol! But then again, RIM has been pulling stuff left and right.

Posted by mordenxp Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 870 days ago

you should pull this news posting, it's false!

Posted by Bla1ze Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 870 days ago

Have you read the forums lately?

Posted by mordenxp Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 870 days ago

I just checked on three devices, and 1.6.0.21 just shows up. So yeah, I don't need to read forums to tell me that this news posting is false.

Posted by Bla1ze Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 870 days ago

Are u even running a 5.0 device?

Posted by Stiefler07 Wednesday, Sep 23, 2009 870 days ago

I think the update only shows for users with 5.0 not 4.x

Posted by drumdog00 Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 870 days ago

Facebook app on my 5.0 OS from the Blackberry Mobile site. sorry dude. The post is true.

Posted by NoKittyNo Wednesday, Sep 23, 2009 870 days ago

Through www.mobile.blackberry.com>Social Networking>Facbook, It is indeed.22, and indeed is compatiable with any possible...5.0's, so 'tis true! :D

Posted by phoenixgi Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 870 days ago

I came across the same thing with my Storm WishinItWas

Posted by WishinItWas Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 870 days ago

Weird, whats with all the posting, getting everyone excited, then taking down lately?

Posted by kingsfan33 Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 870 days ago

confirmed FB working on 5.0.0.191 on BB Tour. I downloaded from the shortcut to FB download that is in the applications folder. It should also work from mobile.blackberry.com

Posted by drivethruboy168 Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 870 days ago

Is it up for 4.6 software? I've gone to facebook.com as well as the link posted up that takes us to mobile.blackberry.com and gives us the download to 1.6.0.21 not 1.6.0.22??

Posted by chubzz Sunday, May 09, 2010 642 days ago

Posted by Riders On The Storm Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 870 days ago

Could someone post the app or offer an alternative download? I just checked after clearing my cache and it is still 1.6.0.21.

Posted by Bla1ze Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 870 days ago

Posted by brindaarnold Wednesday, Sep 23, 2009 870 days ago

Bla1ze, is this the link for below OS 5.0? Such as 4.5.0.161? Thanks!

Posted by Nathan79 Sunday, Sep 27, 2009 865 days ago

Thanks Bla1ze!

Posted by MotivelessCrime Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 870 days ago

I upgraded to the new leaked 5.0.0.230 for Tour last night and love everything it can do but seriously missed my Facebook. I *ALMOST* considered downgrading to get Facebook back but would've hated losing threaded SMS. Luckily 24 short hours later RIM answered my prayers!

PS I had no problem getting 1.6.0.22 through the Mobile BlackBerry site provided here. Don't know why the rest of you can't! Hang tight.

Posted by ncsttsccr Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 870 days ago

to everyone saying it's fales...

GO TO FACEBOOK.COM, at the very bottom, click download and it will take you to 1.6.0.22

Posted by mersh21 Wednesday, Sep 23, 2009 869 days ago

I HAVE A TOUR AND I TRIED THIS AND IT DOESN'T WORK DUDE.

Posted by geezersmk Tuesday, Sep 22, 2009 870 days ago

I installed this on my Storm OS 5.0.0.140 and the icon is missing. Same problem I had with AIM - it installs fine, but its nowhere to be found after. :(
