Facebook For Your Blackberry
October 26, 2007 | by Christopher Nickson
A new software utility for the Blackberry means Facebook addicts can get the social network anywhere on their phones.
Can’t get enough of Facebook? Have a Blackberry? Then you’re in luck. Yesterday Research In Motion introduced Facebook for Blackberry Smartphones, meaning you can access the social network wherever you are.
Unveiled at the CTIA Wireless I.T. & Entertainment show in San Francisco, it’s a free download software application that allows users to get straight onto Facebook from their phones. T-Mobile will be the first to offer it.
And what can you do with it? You can send and view messages, photos, pokes and Wall posts, take and upload pictures, along with tags and captions, manage photo albums, update your status and invite friends – in other words, pretty much everything you can do from a computer.
“Facebook is one of the fastest growing web destinations among BlackBerry smartphone users and it has become an important element in the evolving fabric of personal communications,” said Mike Lazaridis, President and Co-CEO at Research In Motion in a statement. “Facebook and RIM share a vision for enhanced mobile communications and social networking based on open, standards-based platforms and this has allowed us to produce a rich mobile application for Facebook users that leverages the push-based architecture, multimedia features and industry-leading usability of the BlackBerry solution.”
