Facebook v2 for BlackBerry Enters Limited Beta today for lucky Beta Zone Members

Sick, can't wait!

Same here my chat hasn't been working for about 2 weeks now..I'm fkn mad!

installation is done! but after 1 week using this app, my chat not working...pls help....

Anyone other 5.0 device owners see a message on BlackBerry Beta Zone in the "Eligible Programs" section saying they were now eligible to participate in the Facebook 2.0 beta program?

Great improvements with chat and "info" on profiles, but had a lot of lag and slowed my whole device down. A good step in the right direction. Looking forward to the official release, but as of right now, going back to older version

This is a dream come true. Doesn't seem beta-ish at all it works great.

Arrgh, got same problem as woodycat - it forever loops back to the same login page when I try to login via the provided link!! :(

sheesh the blackberry beta site is a pain in the ASS!! STILL can't download anything....and how the in hell do you copy something from your laptop and paste it into your browser on your phone???

Sends me a weblink, which asks me to login, AGAIN.....only to forever loop back to the same login page.....

Grrrrrrrrrrrr.........

I would like a beta version of facebook

I would like a beta version if facebook.

look forward to it coming out on os 5.0 sometime looks good

Can this be run using only wi-fi?
Or is the BIS required?

I'm in Saudi Arabia, and I'm stuck with FB 1.6 :(

my country is not elgible for the beta program i got the ota from gadzone can some1 lend me a keycodeeeee

AWESOME!!

I like it!! Way better!

Just downloaded it! tell you guys later the feedback!

has anyone been able to paste the keycode on a 9650 running 6.0.0.443?

I'm totally loving FB 2.0!!! Freaked me out last night when I received my first chat notification on my BB! I was like "What's that noise? Oh, it's coming from my phone! Why? OH COOL someone sent me an IM on FB!"

Turned off audio notification since it was annoying after a few minutes of chatting but all in all it seems pretty smooth so far.

I can not click "I agree" on the terms and conditions page before downloading because there is not "I agree" to click. Anyone else get this?

Took a while to download but once it was installed it was running like a charm on my BB Bold 9700 (TMobile) running leaked OS6 (448).

I like it! The chat is very "BBM-like".

WHEN I DOWNLOAD IT GETS TO 50% AND THE SAY ERROR ??

About damn time. Got in to the beta and so far like it a lot better than the old one. Only thing I still don't like is that comments are posted with the newest ones first, which makes comment conversations hard to follow.

My brother downloaded it to his 9700 and he really likes it so far. Like me, he is thrilled with the fresh, crisp look.

Ouch. It ran the download and replace of the earlier facebook version for about 25 minutes on my Torch. Rebooted itself twice during the process. When it came back to life, facebook was installed and every single 3rd party app I had on the device was gone. Luckily I had taken an app backup with BBSAK earlier in the week.

i got it and the new twitter very very happy i admit i havent had much
patience whilst in the beta zone ,but peoples help on here helped me out
in particular the keycode paste issue thank you v v much
initial impressions are brill major changes all round after much
rim knocking regarding the old fb its def a case of credit where due
well done rim

Can someone help... I have the invite.. But don't have the option to accept terms and conditions

They've just allowed 10,000 more installs of FB 20.0. So head on over to Beta Zone if you couldn't install yesterday!

Guess I should have read the above comments first.lol

Posted by BB Beta Zone re. Facebook for Blackberry v.2:

Holy smokes, we reached 10,000 downloads of Facebook for BlackBerry Smartphones v2.0 in Beta Zone in less than 24 hours! Thank you, Team BlackBerry. We want more of you to get in on the Beta Zone download, so we've unlocked 10,000 more! Hurry hurry, if yesterday is any indicator, they're going to go fast! Don't forget to leave your feedback on the new app below! http://tlk.tc/oL0

They just unlocked more beta invites....get over there if you missed out yesterday.

I know I am not the first to mention this so I join in and say that having only the news feed stream is a negative. I like doing status updates only sometimes, and there may be those who want to do photos only or links only. So return this option to v2, but otherwise I really, really like v2.

download & installed it now :)

My addiction to Facebook on my BB Storm 2 got over really quick when I realized how fast my battery was being drained, so I deleted the old version. Any feedback on battery expenditure from the Beta testers would be appreciated.

Glad it's back online...I've joined, downloading now.

downloaded it but i never receive any keycode yet. where can i get the key code? anyone help pls!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's back up on beta zone

Where is the download link

My timeline is just wrong here's an example:

Michelle Freeman
What a wonderful evening...
1 Minute Ago

Laine Bourbon
I Feel So Excited About The Day Ahead...
10 Hours Ago

----------------------------------------

When I logon to the mobile site, it shows full statuses...

Hope you understand me guys, what's wrong? How to fix this?

Facebook for Blackberry v.2 has been filled, so it can no longer be downloaded from BB Beta Zone.

I guess its open again coz i just joined up, must say absolutely brilliant app, finally can use FB on my 9780 PROPERLY!!

I just checked and they're saying their beta dwnl is finished. We'll have to wait for round 2. Sad.

From what I'm reading, the response to download v.2 was tremendous. So, since it is a limited release, they may have shut down new requests by now. So, if you didn't respond right away, it may no longer be available. You'll have to wait to see if they re-open the download.

Downloaded it yesterday, tried it right away...and I love it. It is very fast and gives you instant notifications. Once I figured out all the new features (a guide is included in a message from FB) and how to navigate around, I loved it even more. The interface is clean and very precise. I had no issues with the download; it was trouble-free and downloaded quickly. It is much easier to use than previous versions. So far, no problems...and I use FB a lot during the day. Time will tell if I remain happy with it. So far, so good. I'm a tester, so I'll have constant feedback for it.

20 Hours Later.... Received KeyCode. #BadAssApp!!!

for all those having trouble getting a keycode,

re-downloading the app via device browser will retrigger the keycode email.

I got it yesterdau,pasting keycode was easy.

$#%^&^$%@%#^&$%&^$# why did i go and get drunk last night..... if i hadnt i cud have had this

DAMNNNNNNN!!!!!

yeah got it on my blackberry pearl 3g finally... had it running on my phone since yesterday and became a beta tester just cause of this app... at first i wasnt recieving notifications and stuff but now everything is working smoothly on the facebook app... good impreovment everyone gonna be excited once it comes out for everyone but only os 6 users...

Workin fine on my 9700 o2 uk leaked 6.0.0.499. Girlfriend very jealous as she has same phone but not in beta zone ha ha! Shame no video but its a huge leap forward. UI is v nice but scrolling still an issue (how they can't nail this I will never know) all in all happy its out there. I reckon final release within 3 weeks and I base that on nothing at all!

signed up, download, install and currently testing, i'd say i'm pleased and imho, this beta runs better than the official version (messages, navigation & interface has improved drastically)
i'll post further comments later today.

I'm also in the UK on O2 running OS .448 on a Torch. I joined the beta zone at 9pm last night, filled in the questionnaire and by half 9 had a shiny new FB beta app on my phone - Cool!!!

Alright people i was one of the lucky ones to get the Beta FaceBook......One word "Awesome"...The entire look of the application is alot better. Looks nicer and runs faster. I can upload pics faster, when i pull up a persons profile and they have a picture it loads quicker. Also i really like the toolbar like button that keeps you from having to go all the way back up to refresh your news feeds. They really put some thought into this version. I will keep updating as i use it more and more.

Per website the beta testing is full :(

I just logged into bberry beta and it doesn't indicate that I'm eligable? My accounts primary device is a 9780, is the beta download closed? I'm gonna be pissed if I missed out!

whey, first beta invite i've actually been part of. Works well on my Torch!

Gutted if its limited Beta and i have missed out, lets see what Beta zone have to say shall we lol

Works like a charm! It took me a while to download because of some serious traffic though. It's worth it though, thanks RIM.

Installed Facebook, but there is no icon showing on the phone? Any suggestions to correct this?

Is it possible to filter the News Feed to only show the Posts of your Friends ?

someone pls give me a keycode , i can't join the beta zone

How do I paste the keycode to start for the first time? I can copy it from the email and paste it to other apps (like MemoPad) but when I try to past in the EULA nothing shows up and I can't agree to it.

Using a 9650 with 6.0.0.443

i have completed all Questionaires, i am using Vodafone UK 9700 OS 6.448 release and sod all here

is this a slow roll out or am i just not gonna get this?

I'm IN and LOVIN IT! Just a couple "bugs" or quirks...nothing major. BUT.........

When you're reading comments and there's like 15 and you need to go to more. Using touch you can't you have to select "more" with trackpad.

And lil annoying, in chat box when typing response to someone I couldn't see what I was typing unless I moved down with the trackpad.

Other than that? I'm happy just to finally have CHAT!!!!!

I have a torch with OS6 but it says I'm not eligable. I tried to see if there was a spot to put in the phone OS but couldn't find one

Registered to test facebook out but it doesnt list me as eligble.
Im using a os6 device how can they possibly pick and choose.

If any1 who is eligible and not testing and wishes to let someone else test it please
BBM me your info so i can download it.

Thanks
PIN = 22A377CA
No time wasters please , thanks.

Been like 12 hours and I havent gotten the key code :(

and yes, i emailed them..

is the available in the UK? any UKers have this?

Well, I'm in the US, with a 9800, all the questionnaires are filled and I'm still not eligable.

Don't panic 5.0 users... seems like an update for us will come real soon. copied this off the betazone:

"Check under “Eligible Programs” to see if you qualify for the Facebook for BlackBerry smartphones 2.0 beta program! (NOTE: though this version is currently only available for OS 6.0 users, stay tuned for future updates which will include support for other codelines)"

Fingers crossed..

I'm a member of the beta zone and have a Torch, I still don't see FB 2.0 available for me. How do I become eligible? I def fit the description...

THIS WILL WORK IF YOUR USING OS 6 LEAKED VERSIONS!!!!
To be eligable, make sure you fill out all the questionaires! in your profile. If still not eligable then its because it may not be available for your country, i.e blackberry traffic 2.0 is only available in the US and Canada

Facebook V2 is very good, better than the current version. Facebook chat works well and the overall experience is good. Easy and simple to use.
This version is better than the ACTUAL full website version that changes regularly and is annoying.

im on OS6 and not seeing it under eligable programs whyyyyyyyyy????????????

omg! Im very impressed! best FB on BB yet! works great! but with touchscreen it might be even much better

I want it. But I'n not eligable I guess. I have a 9700 on ATT and they don't have an offcial OS6. But I am running 6.0.0.424

For those who didn't have keycode...please don't rQ here...its CONFIDENTIAL....only beta member can get the keycode...and the keycode are PIN base....and its can't used on your BB...if you want the keycode....please become a member....Thanks

hi plz send me the key

Its been 12hours I'm using this beta product....and I'm from Malaysia...and still got bugs....like there are no cursor on chat...

I didnt get chosen!!! T.T

Obviously liking that it now has chat built in... the new layout is kind of nice but I miss the buttons along the top, I find getting to the notifications menu area finicky and difficult.

If you just stick to using key shortcuts it seems great.

Overall it feels new and fresh and works well without feeling weird or wrong in anyway (like the facebook website often does with upgrades).

For those having troulbe pasting the keycode, select one letter short of the whole code, paste that and then type the last letter yourself.

I think the email is formated in a way that you HAVE to select an inivislbe carrage return and that messes up the paste.

Finally upgraded from 1.8 to 2.0, much better than the dreaded double posting of 1.9, but still acclimatizing to the UI, the fb chat is definitely a nice addition and seems like it not missing any news like the 1.8 and 1.9 yet (fingers crossed)

okay so i'm a curve 9300 user with OS6 installed, and it doesn't show up on my eligible programs list, but all others like traffic, travel show up. why can't i download it? my address is also in the US.

Got it, Telus. 9800. Vancouver

not sure I downloaded the new version of facebook and I have the torch. But ever since i bought the torch i always get errors on the old facebook and the new beta version. Is this a problem with the phone or the app? I have deleted the app and rebooted the phone many times just looking to find out what might be the problem. Any help will be appreciated.

I have a torch with OS6 but it says I'm not eligable. I tried to see if there was a spot to put in the phone OS but couldn't find one

I have a torch with OS6 but it says I'm not eligable. I tried to see if there was a spot to put in the phone OS but couldn't find one

oo damn, i didnt get it. sigh

Wow lovin the new facebook 2.0, Much easier to navigate.

I'm from Malaysia too, using bold 9780 on OS 6. But why I'm not eligible? T___T

i got in and i got the white screen of death go me :P

from malaysia here. nothing problem when download. great improvement, nice interface, like the built in chat very nice and faster receiving n sending. no problem so far for the notification.

OMG! Iv'e waited YEARS for this LOL. I can not wait until this App comes out on my BlackBerry Torch 9800. I wish you had the date of this App that soon to come. But I'll try to wait patiently. Keep us updated. BTW, your so lucky to have the new FaceBook App. I agree the old FaceBook App is so whack. And the Face Chat App is so whack also.

I downloaded it, played around with it and I have to say I honestly don't like it. I'll be sticking with socialscope. The only good thing about the new FB for BB is that it has chat but since I already have beejive it really doesn't matter to me

I for some reason am not eligible... even though I got a notice that I could download it. It' s not in my eligible programs list... I have a Torch with OS6... What gives?

Ok, it's a lot nicer, and easier flowing, only issue I have (only one!) is that in the drop down under facebook with the Navigation Screen, there is no View Status Updates button, which I use the most. It's only under the Blackberry button, and only if your cursor is in the status update field. I wish that Status Updates was an option.

Sick

The fastest facebook app to launch on blackberry so far :)

Is anyone experiencing when you're in chat and someone replys, do their reply come through twice? Very annoying

Seems to be an issue with running .443

Fail! For some, icon is absent. Without it, can't even launch the app after install. Doesn't show up in My World either. I was waiting for this a long time. So close, yet so far...

Much nicer and faster

installed it , ok its a good update all round .. intuitive easy to use scrolls well nice color scheme

facebook 2.0 is good stuff going forward

I am not able to cut and paste the Keycode. I have tried many times. Its not working. Its too long to type.

come on RIM I HOPE you don't forget us running 4.5!!!
You have to toss something are way.... :(

Caps + trackpad isn't pasting nothing at all. I know I am doing it correctly b/c I paste all the time like that as well. When doing it for the key code it won't do anything.

Dang I have no other ideas beside trying a different OS for you guys and I just learned either caps button + trackpad is a paste shortcut

Running it now...GREAT update so far. Better UI, clean....thumbs UP!

I think I should give a try on this beta version.. :)
Thanks for the information.. I LOVE CRACKBERRY

For the people who aren't able to paste through the menu or holding trackpad press the left cap button and click the trackpad hope it works for you

Up and running on a VZW 9650 with OS6.0.0.431. No problems with the OTA D/L or the keycode. So far I like what I see.

I give up! LOL! i cannot paste my key code at all. Even with clicking the trackpad to paste. It's like paste is disabled with this app for me lol.

os 6 only, im currently running on os5 ,os 6 has problem with my carrier they have not fixed yet :(

This has got to be the best facebook app that RIM has put out! I have not found a problem with it yet. Chat works well...the new ui is greatly improved...like the new plus sign so you can comment/like stuff.

This is one of the best beta releases rim has done. They pretty much did a complete overhaul of the application. Very impresive and I hope this is a sign of things to come.

So I guess every facebook chat in app world will be having a going out of business sale before too long.

Installed, nice and clean look, drop downs nice, i like so far, feels more professional. I couldn't copyNpaste the dang keycode and entered totally manually! Talk about determined! LOL

Running it for like 2 hours now. Definitely sleek and more fresh looking, but strangely I miss the classic status bar across the top. It worked for me better, but maybe I won't miss it once I grow used to the new change. That said, just like the 1.9 version, the shortcuts are also useful as ever, like H for home, N for notifications, etc.

Overall, I like it and don't see any glaring bugs for my personal use. Glad I was able to partake in beta testing. :)

ive downloaded it and my phone says i have but there is no icon and ive restarted uninstalled and reinstalled about 3 times and i get the same results every time! help!

Facebook 2 is great!

DL FB V2 working great on my 9330 3G...Nothing yet to complain..going great :) best far FB app -and their is Chat yeah ! Now keeping me off FB is another story lol

some one put up the install files lol

what's facebook?

RAWR!!! Why wont my Copy & Paste work??? Curve 9300 - 6.0.0.499

DL this afternoon. Awesome app finally. No complaints here so far. Best FB for BB yet! LOVE IT!!!!

SO GLAD I GET TO TEST THIS OUT!! ITS JUST ABOUT FINISHED DOWNLOADING!!

Wow the Chat works great!!! And everything else!!! Fantastic job RIM!!!!

i love it! The new navigation menu is amazing!

Seems to be working great. FB may be alive and well on the BB finally!

Downloaded facebook v 2 gfrom the beta zone and I love it.

Downloaded this as soon as I saw this post..reminds me of the facebook app for iphone/itouch. Would be nice to see who "likes" something within the app, or to be able to delete posts

I downloaded it, but the icon is missing, and I can't figure out how to find it so i can open the app. Please help.

Got to the download page - gonna do when i get home!!! wooo-hoo!!! luv this site!!! its now my next fav inline with fb!!! hehehe...

I got this up and running on Bold 9700, rogers. The only problem I'm having so far is that I can't seem to find any way to filter to the feeds to just show status, or photo updates, etc. I like being able to filer my news feed to just show status updates most of the time. Am I missing how to do this or was it taken out?

Talk about kick-SENSOR, this one is going platinum/Super App. I'm not an avid FB'er, but this one makes me wanna post when I'm taking a deep breath #FB, LMAO.

SO GLAD I GET TO TEST THIS OUT!! ITS JUST ABOUT FINISHED DOWNLOADING!!

Ahh, this is so nice, I just had a chat with my friend to testing this application and the conversation is so smooth, better than any 3rd party facebook chat on the market.

Downloaded and rebooting to complete the install. We will see how this works. :)

Install went fine, got key-code immediately, on Bell Mobility in Niagara, seems like a big improvement, especially adding the chat and the new layout. I may actually use facebook more often now.

weird thing, i tried like 5 times to download over wifi and it came up with 'error 907 invalid cod stream closed' switched over to using the normal BIS blackberry APN and it downloads and installs fine, so if anyone else gets that error you know why

First 5 minutes =awesome. Next 5 minutes = darn, now I'll have to make an effort of staying off Facebook.

I still don't have a keycode! This is brutal!!!! It's been 2 hours. Errrggg.

I'm eligable for this program even though I dont have a facebook lol. But awesome!

Data cheapskates want to know: Does it work on wifi?

i'm likin it so far!

Everything seems to be working great, chat is fast reminds me a lot like BBM.
Pictures in post load very fast now and front page updates are night and day better then they where.
Only problem I see is imk not getting notifications, anyone else having this problem? I don't have them set to go to messages.

Sucks to be one of those who paid for a FB chat app.

Just one thing that annoys me and they still haven't implemented...I want to see who likes a status when it says "2 people like this"...also i can't like comments on the app...also I want to be able to upload VIDEOS as well as pictures!

Hopefully they implement this...

Anyone try installing on a 5.0 device? I'm tempted to try.

Anyone try installing on a 5.0 device? I'm tempted to try.

CHECK FACEBOOK 2.0 LIVE HERE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pNBu-GqGQY

works great!!! great update

Ok this is stupid, after I hit "I want to participate" and submit it, it takes me to the legal page with nothing to select after and I can't find my downloads page...Help me!

In class right now, will download when I get out of class :)

Another thing would this effect the social feeds app on 6.0???

Not bad at all. Huge improvement on older version. Well done RIM :)

Downloading as we speak. I can't wait to send out my first status under the new 2.0.

FANTASTIC! I just installed it and tried to reboot the phone twice. It hangs after the progress bar is full on boot up. Great job RIM! Counting down the days until the Nexsus S 4G....

Got it wooo :D

Just downloaded it. Instantly better UI appears....much more familiar to those who have used the Android version. It is really snappy. Cannot find my location, but I am sitting at my desk, although I am ten feet from the window. Could be a GPS issue, but usually that works fine where I sit. The look and feel is spectacular. Will be reporting to Beta Zone my thoughts. I use FB alot......and am considering the silly FB phone the HTC Cha Cha to test out and see how it compares to a Blackberry for fun use. Nowhere near as good on other levels but for fun it might be a good option.

Digging the ne

Quite envious of all of you getting this new version! Ahaha hope it will be released for everybody as soon as possible! Looks ace! Cheers from Italy!

it amazing

Working nicely

Looks like the iphone UI, nice :)

Well, I'm eligible but it's for OS 6 only. That'll go perfect with the version of OS 6 for the Storm2 9550 that RIM never released.

Nice!!

First impressions; Facebook 2.0 Rocks! Nice UI. Much needed added features. So far so good. Thanks to the people @ BB for letting me beta test, and thank to the people @ CB for providing the info.

I'm in BB nerd heaven :)

Downloading now, only the BZ is so clogged with traffic that it's taking foreverrrr to load.

I'd like to see the ability to "Like" comments and tag people in posts and comments. Other than that, I think this version is great.

Downloaded........nice upgrade........no glitches so far.

I imagine it will be public very shortly.......go ahead RIM

Cool! Great layout! Places working also.(Vodafone - The Netherlands)

Wow, Great job RIM. This is even better than MY GF's Android FB App.. It feels very OS6 and it simply works really Well.. Its awesome!

The FB Chat UI is Sick. And like Wizmilso said. The + sign next to the Status is really cool. LOVE IT!

Cursor still disappears for me on .499 for 9700 :(

Just installed it! I like, watch out social scope!

So I got this, and it is aMAZING!! I think its already the best fb experience out there.

The plus symbol that let's you access the "like, comment options is verry clutch

The chat is BBM quality, and so easy to use.

Its verry smooth, not at all bulky.

RIM really out did themselves on this one

I didn't get my keycode. Errrggg. So annoying. Sent an email to Beta Zone a half an hour ago with no response yet. I want to get this up and running.

Blackberry just posted on facebook that support for OS 4.6 and higher is "on its way"!! So rejoice!

For those having problems pasting the keycode, please hold down the trackpad and then select paste. Pasting is a problem on this app for now, other than that the cursor is missing in the chat. You can view it my pressing the BB button and selecting " select text" this app will put those apps that ask you to pay to chat on facebook out of the market. Slick UI and an overall make over of this version makes it a winner. But just a few bugs.

Wow... just installed... this is some serious upgrade! They should have called it 3.0

got it

They stepped there game up with this one! Love all the new updates!

Oooooh, I want the new version sooo bad! Please come out of beta soon!

Still waiting for keycode.. sent e-mail to betainfo over an hour ago, no response yet.

Facebook 2.0 is the best update so far. Its fast and smooth, I love the UI. The built in chat is very responsive and the notifications are quick and on time.

Congrats to the small number of people who have OS6 and able to install this!

You get to experience, what us iPhone users have been experiencing for a long while!

@ddj247 : bro, just take your cursor on the empty keycode place and hold trackpad for a while, there it ll appear a pop-up saying paste, switch application and one more, so just select paste and click it should be done. If still not successful then write it all over. ; ))

OHH yea!!! Just downloaded on My 9700 (Digicel Jamaica)...app is looking excellent...loaded with features...I can pretty much do anything I can do on Facebook on the web on my phone...answer friend requests...view my profile from within the application and view my pics as well. Still exploring....if only I was running on a reliable and fast network :(...oh well will struggle through on WiFi for now

so my phone wont boot up now.......great >:o

Copy and pasting my key code isn't working for me and I have tried all the ways you could.

Downloading now. I want to know if they've included better sync options for messages. I want to be able to select whether to leave on server and/or device.

@mkye86 : yeah man, cursor issues with facebook on 9700/6.0.0.499. But the bigger thing is new facebook interface with chat and all new look to facebook for blackberry. Cursor issue takes the back seat in front of all this.
Will wait for the another OS leak for 9700 in about 15-20 days which will make my bb almost PERFECt !
Sorry for iphone losers, BB rocks !!!

where can i get it for my bold 9700 os 6?

Installed & working fine (Y)

got it!

Yeah just make sure that if you copy it from the email, that you paste it by holding down the track-pad till the lil menu come up to paste it.
