The “Is” Isn’t In Facebook For BlackBerry Any Longer

June 11, 2008 by Robb Dunewood 2 Comments

 
One of the more popular BlackBerry downloads out there is Facebook for BlackBerry Smartphones, which I believe has been downloaded several million times. As popular as Facebook for BlackBerry is, it was not without it intricacies.

The word “is” was hard coded into the status screen so whenever you wanted to change your status, the word “is” was always included after your name. Needless to say this annoyed all but 14 of the BlackBerry users that downloaded Facebook for BlackBerry.

To the 14 Facebook for BlackBerry using folks that actually like the hard coded “is” in the status screen, you can stop reading here. For everyone else, we are happy to report that the latest version of Facebook for BlackBerry comes without the hard coded “is”.

You can download the latest version of Facebook for BlackBerry OTA directly to your device right from the Mobile BlackBerry Home Page by visiting http://mobile.blackberry.com from your device’s BlackBerry Browser.

    They still have the auto period though. At least it doesn’t carry over to live site.

    Really, this is a pretty unimpressive application. The app doesn’t even update your OWN status. If I go to the site and change my status directly, the Facebook for Blackberry app still shows my status as being whatever I posted the last time I used the Blackberry app to change my status.

    You can’t use it to respond to messages and in many ways, it’s just easier to use the browser to go to mobile.blackberry.com and do what you need to do there. I really see no advantage to using this app over the mobile Facebook site.
