Those who know me personally knows that I constantly have two “fruity” devices in my pockets, an Apple iPhone 2G and a recent addition to my gadget collection, a BlackBerry Bold.
I use my Facebook on both devices and I loved the one on the iPhone more when I first started using it. The one on the Bold was just horrendous. I didn’t know what was I looking at.
Facebook released a new Facebook v1.6 a few weeks back and I hesitated to install it on the Bold but since it’s free, I figured, “What the heck”. I wasn’t expecting a lot from the Facebook app but boy was I wrong!
It now has the new feeds feature everytime you open the app. I can now see my highlights, Status and recent activities of my friends at one glance. I can also view my friends’ Wall on the app itself. It used to direct you to their mobile site in order to view it.

On thing I liked the most is the Photo feature. Gone are the bland and tasteless interface and it comes with the new, enhanced UI. I can now click on my friends’ photo albums, and it brings me to this screen where I can scroll through thumbnails and just click on whichever photo I want to view.
Oh yeah, it also integrates my friends’ contact details into the bold, so I don’t have to type and sync everything in again, really nice touch there.
I still see room for improvement so let’s hope that Facebook v1.7 will pack a whole lot of features!
