    Wow your an idiot. A good portion of facebook are mid to late age people. My entire family uses it to communicate and they are all older. I know other families that use facebook for the same thing. FB makes it easy for people to stay in contact with each other and share things.

    @cliff,
    FB for BlackBerry definitely doesn’t do as much as the iPhone version. I have used the BB version for a while so I know it does what most people need to do with FB. At times I feel the BB version is more convenient because it integrates with the rest of your messages and can instantly notify you. On my iPhone, I can get notification emails, but clicking on the link takes me to the web site and not the app.

    From the looks of the screenshots, it is the same FB for BB app, just cleaned up and polished a bit and using the new events system.

    How about the one for windows mobiles? That thing is a piece of crap and I mean that sincerely. Idk if I was spoiled because of my ipod touch but using the Facebook app on my Touch Pro2 is just so bad Im better off using the browser.

    @Rosario,

    Someone actually cares about Windows Mobile? It’s all about iPhone, Android, WebOS, and S60. I hve heard nobody talk about or get excited aabout anything windows mobile in a very long time. FB for winmo should be last on their list, and probably is.
