Free Facebook Fan App of the Day: Facebook for BlackBerry Update 1.5

There is a new version of Facebook for BlackBerry 1.5.  New features include messages and Friend requests now appear in your BlackBerry Messages folder, Facebook contacts and calendar intergrate with BlackBerry calendar/contacts. It also has quick photo sharing.

This version is not recommended for the BlackBerry Storm. Eric Zeman at Information Week tried to get it to work. After he installed Facebook 1.5 on his BlackBerry Storm, it ran at much lower speeds and was far less responsive then before. The Facebook app itself failed to load half the time, and crashed  twice. He had to uninstall it and seek out Facebook 1.3 to restore some measure of usability to his BlackBerry Storm.
