Second from the bottom... Facebook 1.6 * UPDATE 2: JUST ADDED a BUNCH of official info on the Facebook 1.6 updates below. Be sure to check these out if you're looking for the detailed goods on what's new in 1.6! * * UPDATE: OOOPS, My bad. I was a bit distracted when making this post and forgot to include screencaps of the most exciting part of the update - improved in-app profile and photo viewing!! Screencaps below. * Facebook version 1.5 has barely been out for a month now, and already there's word of version 1.6 being released before May is done. You can refer to our first post for what's coming in 1.6 and check out some screen captures of it in action below. Mainly incremental feature improvements and tweaks, but it's getting there and I'm sure hardcore facebook users will appreciate it.

THIS LOOKS AWESOME!!!
FIRST COMMENT! :-)
do want
I want it now!! give it now!!
cannot wait to upgrade.....
will it work for the 5.0 OS?
I hope so... :(
Serously Facebook, what gives?
This still doesn't look as functional as the iphone version. not by a long shot.
its developed by RIM, not facebook. So all of this suckage is RIM's fault
My bad, I think we all can agree that this is inexcusable. Blackberries constantly get the shaft with software, we were the last to get Pandora, still haven't gotten skype, google maps on the storm is a joke compared to the itouch/phone, and we get to look foreward to an updated facebook app with less functionality than the iphone version has had for months. It just seems like software development is always low on the priority list for blackberry developers and RIM.
You should buy an iPhone
People are getting ridiculous. What are you guys expectingThe Iphone App is not much better. People on Iphone forums complain it is buggy and freezes their phone. I dont know what features you guys are expecting to be able to use on a portable mobile client. The only thing the Iphone app has that people actually use that is better is chat, for the feed support you need @ separate programs on Iphone. In addition the Iphone has a bigger screen so more real estate will of course show a better looking interface. Seriously its not supposed to replace your computer
I just want to see more features in the app, no more redirects to the mobile site. Profile views and more manager options. Also would be cool if it tagged actions done within the BB app as such, rather than just the generic "mobile" tagging.
I just want FB chat like the Apple version...if I am ever in wifi reception I just use my iTouch over my BB to look at FB =/
Any update is a welcome one! But yes, I would ove to see stuff like Facebook chat and better 'tagging'
What does the 'view highlights' tab bring up?
RIM's FB App still seems far too weak when compared to the competition. It does the job......but only just.
These incremental upgrades are welcome, but the App is in serious need of a MAJOR facelift.
Come on, RIM. Show us what you got!
I like the bigger icons and that they removed the archaic "poke."
the live news feed option...
not impressed, release a new version when its worth it
Enough with the little updates, bring a new app out already that is worthy. My iTouch has a better app.
Should We Be Happy "BIG" Change Hooray!!
So what are the big changes from 1.5?
when you go to the applications menu it says 1.6 now:) you should be happy, its +1 number
LOL.. got a good laught from that.. and it's true.
technically its +.1 number. sorry...had to correct you.
I alwaws heard of the facebook , but never use it. It seems like a very good app, and I will try it soon.
Guess they still did not add WiFi usage for the application. Hope to see that soon in future.
If you are connected to wifi, go to manage connections, service status and look for BlackBerry Internet Service. Next to connection it should show WiFi...
My understanding is that this means all BIS data is carried over WiFi...
Very good info. Thanks!

people keep saying AWESOME CANT WAIT TO UPGRADE, but its just the same old crap... there is still nothing great about the app, the mobile site is x100 more functional then the app.
Like someone injected pure botox into facebook but it's not really fooling anybody...
I was hoping to see better calendar integration. Facebook events going into its own calendar means they won't propogate into my Outlook calendar, or be seen on my Today screen.
I gues it is too much to ask for a change log?
I'm sure I['m missing something really simple, but is there a way to NOT have it send messages to my bb inbox? I hated that feature with the last upgrade.
In the Facebook options screen uncheck the integrate with messages section.
Kevin its nice to see i am your number one friend on facebook. Oh wait its cuz my names starts with aa :(
wow... awsome !!
the new version of FB is very awesome...
cant wait for it...
Where's the FacebookIM support?!?!
I'm really not too concerned about the Facebook app after it made my Storm go crazy!....I DO want that fmylife application!
CrackBerry+BlackBerry+Facebook= One Huge Addiction
I have had my 8900 for only a few months and I am constantly finding new tricks,apps,software. I cant wait for the Facebook update. I did recently start using Opera Mini and found Facebook to work great on that browser. Oh one last thing, I entered the SimpleLeap contest a couple weeks back and won a free app! I chose Appettite and plan on using it today when I go shopping for the cookout tomorrow.
it looks great! i can't wait!!!!
should be a nice upgrade! can't wait to try it out! the photo browsing looks awesome!
and facebook for blackberry will probably never be like what the iphone offers. if that's what you're looking for...go get an iphone.
My mom has the 8330, and I got the Facebook App for when I use her phone (just because I love BB's and want one ASAP). And in no way is this app a replacement for the actual internet/computer version. It was wayyyy to simplified. I personally love the iPhone's FaceBook app and it really works well. So hopefully RIM will grab some ideas from iPhone and make them their own, and create an AMAZING FaceBook app that blows the iPhone's out of the water.
I welcome the additions. How long did we have to wait for the 1.5 release? The fact that we didn't have to wait 6+ mos. for these modest improvements is a good sign! Keep in mind that what gets released was in development for quite some time. I'm sure there are more goodies in store to get this application up to speed with its iPhone cousin...
bummer....
Wow it's a lot more of a change than I thought. NICE!
Release that puppy... We need it!
Can't wait!! When is this coming out?!
This app seems to be more in line with the MySpace, finally!
At least it's an improvement. Hope it looks good on the Storm.
Well done finally.. Some changes that needed to be there from first version! It is an improvement but we will still wait for 2.0 ;)
