Facebook for BlackBerry smartphones version 3.2.0.9 now available in BlackBerry Beta Zone
Installed it ASAP. 3.2.0.8 was terrible! Most buggy piece of software I have ever used on ANY platform.
agreed. i think they're releasing the betas too early. they've never released them this quickly and i now see why...
I believe it's better releasing them as early as possible, even if we have to live with a lot more bugs. That will give us a lot more time to give our feedback!
ya but the feedback we give them after they've began working on another release won't change anything. they decide what they're going to work on prior to starting work on it, so all we are here for is to find bugs and report them. yeah no thank you lol. that's the development teams job, not mine. This way it gets the release out faster because more people are beta testing i understand, but they really should begin that process after say the 10th internal beta version. when it's safe to use. this way these bullshit fb beta's keep fucking up the harmony of my os. And this one still sucks.
1) No, it doesn't suck. I've been using the last few betas and they work perfectly fine on my device. My only concern is notifications but that's been a problem all along and it's not just a BlackBerry problem. Notifications are problematic across all platforms.
2)That's why it's called a *BETA*!!!!!! That's why it's in the BETA zone. That's why YOU agreed to the terms:
"You understand and agree that the intent of each Beta Program is to test pre-commercial Beta Products and/or Beta Services which may contain bugs or other errors, and may not yet have the approvals and certifications necessary for commercial deployment. Accordingly, in addition to the restrictions in the BBSLA on using Your BlackBerry Solution for mission critical applications, in no event shall You use the Beta Products or Beta Services in any productive or other environment where You are relying on the performance of the Beta Products."
Listen to me Avril (Sk8ertor), you must not be using a blackberry because you seem to be the only one with no problems when it comes to this fb beta. And there are no notification problems across platforms because I don't have any issues and neither does my gf on her iphone except, for this BETA app. Please stop making things up!
And when it comes to the beta zone, there are different levels in beta development which I'm positive you have no idea about. The betas they're releasing are super early and that's why they're full of bugs.
You REALLY need to catch up on what's happening here or would you like me to explain everything to you? It would be my pleasure, honestly...
Actually Max, I don't have any issues with the Beta either... So maybe Sk8ertor and I don't have lemon devices/beta apps...
So before you go resorting to name calling and maybe some people aren't having all kinds of issues.

Actually, this hasn't been my experience at all?
They take the feedback they get very seriously, as I have been engaged on four different occasions for additional details from members of the beta management and development teams to get to the root causes of the things I've reported.
Case-in-point: Older versions of the FB client used to allow users to search for FB messages/notifications/etc. directly from the user's integrated inbox using the advanced search features, but that's no longer included in the latest betas.
Now that we're getting saturated with every kind of status update/notification/etc. from FB all the time, being able to remove them all at once (like we used to do) is something I thought would be helpful. I have been contacted about this, and the development team has adjusted their feature list to include this for a future beta -- even if it's not the current 3.2.X beta.
So, they do pay attention and are receptive to input. If the quality of the builds are frustrating you, perhaps you should wait for the official releases? If nothing else, it could help restore your harmony? :^)
The cascade now shows your profile picture under Profile. Cool!
Still having all the same issues, update status didn't go through error 1502 can't reach Facebook server, had to check in twice the first time didn't work, couldn't comment on my own post. I get that it's a beta release but we're talking about the basic functionality of the app not working, the events section like birthdays and group events are what we're supposed to be testing not whether or not my status update will post or making a comment. These are issues that have been on going in this beta test and they still haven't been fixed?
I'm having the same exact issues you are. Just getting a comment posted can be excruciating. Errors and fails all day long. Repeatedly resending comments in the hopes it won't be back in my notifications with a big red x on it. I've sent them error logs - sure hope they get this fixed. It's making Facebook on my bb painful to use.
As a side note, EVERY beta in version 3 in the past 6 months I have tested, and including the official app, has taken the ability to receive a poke notification, today I got a poke from my gf and it came through the app and I poked her back no problem...
So this has fixed the one issue I was having.
