Facebook For Blackberry version 1.3 Released

by Robb Dunewood on November 11, 2008 · 12 comments

Research in Motion has recently released Facebook for BlackBerry Smartphones version 1.3.  There is no change log and I don’t see any major changes, but, I’ve only had the new version installed for about 5 minutes.

Facebook for BlackBerry  is a free BlackBerry download and you can get it by visiting www.blackberry.com/facebook.  If you notice anything different about the new version let us know via the comments.

When I got to http://www.blackberry.com/facebook they offer me version 1.2. Has this officially been released for all Blackberries? I have a PEARL.

Probably it’s a release that fixes some minor issues with the app. If it was an interface change they would release a 2.0 instead.

I upgraded my 8330 through the download option on the mobile Facebook site straight from my BB and it upgraded to 1.3. A few minor differences I have noticed so far but nothing major. Interesting enough, after I upgraded, my internet browsers were switched from ‘Internet Browser’ to ‘Blackberry Browser’ and my Browser home page had been reset.

I am using an 8330 and it is only offering 1.2. Those of you that updated, did you do it OTA or PC download and install?

Trey Luby – I had the same problem as you, but it happened without installing the app. I quit the browser on the download screen for the Facebook app v1.2, and when I opened my browser the next time it had reset my homepage and other settings.

An update to my previous post. I am still unable to get 1.3. I am on a 8330 on Verizon, with Verizon’s release of OS 4.5. Is anyone else having the same issue with Verizon?

I don’t know if this is related, but after installing 1.3 OTA yesterday, my browser service books mysteriously disappeared.

Also on a 8330 V-Curve.

I’ve seen on some other websites that it has been pulled and now only 1.2 remains.
