Facebook and my Blackberry Pearl are like crack cocaine to me… I’m hooked!
Facebook loves Blackberry, and Blackberry loves Facebook - so they got hitched, banged out a kid, named it ‘Facebook for Blackberry Application‘ and he/she/it has only made my addiction to both stronger…if that’s even humanly possible.
The Facebook for Blackberry application is obscenely easy to use and has allowed me to stay connected to my friends at all times. Now I can update my status on the fly, post/tag mobile picture blogs and - you guessed it - much, much more!
There are some kinks that need to be worked out: AT&T users have had trouble downloading the application and people with certain operating systems have experienced crashing problems - but the 38,000 people who have downloaded the application since it’s launch on Oct 24 can’t be wrong. With mostly positive reviews and word-of-mouth advertising spreading like the Southern California wild fires we can only expect that number to rise.
If you have a BB and you’d like to download the application visit the Download Page.
After the jump check out screen captures of the application in use, feature listings and user download statistics.

I really really really dislike the Facebook app for Blackberry. I really can’t see any need for it. The notifications don’t seem to sync with the website so i go to my BB Facebook and there’s about 15 notifications for stuff I’ve already addressed. Apart from that, there just doesn’t seem to be anything to do in the app. I don’t have a camera, so that’s out. Just really unimpressed with the whole experience.
It does seem like it has the potential to be a great app, but I too have had issues with it syncing to Facebook. I was just sent a message, but it never showed on the BB app and I don’t see anyway to refresh it.
