Facebook is like the crack of social media apps for some people and what would you do if you couldn’t access your facebook profile and update your status when you are away from your computer.  No need to work addicts.  Facebook indeed has a pretty good blackberry application.  Some phones even come preinstalled with it.  I know my Verizon phone did.  With the facebook app you have access to update your status and view status updates of your friends, share a photo that you took, get a list of your friends, invite new friends, poking, the ability to write on a friends wall, and sending messages.  The application is by far the prettiest one out there.  It’s almost better than going to the actual facebook site becuase you don’t see all that other junk such as the super wall and other 3rd party apps.  One down side is that when you want to look at someones profile is that it opens the mobile browser it load it. The browser layout is a bit messy and sometimes is pretty slow.

Overall this is a good application for facebook users.  I find myself updating my status and posting more photos because of this.  If you are interested, you can download the application from the blackberry site but check your phone, It may already be installed.
