Yesterday I received a nice piece of information from an unnamed source that indicated I should go and have a look at BetaZone. When asked why, he said “trust me just go look” so I did. I logged in and found that there was a fresh update for the Facebook application. After I went through the usual multiple screens I hit the download link and inserted the required keycode.
This Beta 2.0 version is exactly what Facebook for BlackBerry should be. If you like to Facebook Chat you will be very pleased with this version.
If you’re interested in the latest from RIM sign up and become a BetaZone member today.
Check out the details on this version below.
