Not impressed... The calendar/contact integration is nice, but there are currently ways to do this with other apps.

OoooOoo we can view facebook updates in the blackberry messages section..really? can we? Considering the email we get sent from facebook is taken by the facebook app and not viewable inside of the messages folder. Thanks so much for giving us back this feature.

When can we view profiles inside of the application without launching the browser.

With that being said..i'll be downloading this the day it comes out.

I'm not too impressed either but i hear that there is a 2.0 version that is in the works that may have quite a few new features.

ha true.... it does have some nice features, but i am def. looking for more. we gotta hope for 2.0... which is late already

I think it will be nice to be able to actually comment on people's status updates from inside the app - that was always a sticking point for me.

ehhh....fonebook already did these functions for me...although it would be nice not to be shuffled to the actual website using the bb's native browser.....this one has a built in browser..

also having messages come up in blackberry messages will be nice

i feel like it was originally supposed to be released in january from what i read in the past. and then it changed from january to early 2009...

RadHaz75 · 03-04-2009, 12:07 PM

and then upon actually reading the article it says exactly that!

It is a huge let down considering how much the iphone version does. I wish we could at least see profiles and pictures within the app. Chat would have been nice.

I am not getting my hopes up for 2.0 seeing that it took more than 18 months for 1.5 to be released.
