First off head this warning and remove the beta before installing the final release.
So what does 1.5 give us that 1.2 didn’t?
• All facebook notifications can be read via your “messages” where you get your email. SMS etc..
• Events get posted to your calendar
• You have the option of merging your facebook contact with your Blackberry contacts.
• Some screen to screen animation
Some features I would have liked to have seen (and still hope to)
• Facebook Chat (though maybe as a separate client)
• Update my profile details
• Write a note (this omission surprises me)
• Send an invites to an event in my Blackberry calendar to facebook friends
So is it worth the upgrade/Installation? I’ll say “yes”; it does make performing certain actions easier, but this version doesn’t do it any better than 1.2. The big selling point is that version 1.5 is now more integrated with your blackberry, but this is more of an evolutionary step. In fairness to RIM, Facebook has been bouncing around with their format of the site – I can’t imagine how difficult this must have made the developers jobs.
