At first, this didn’t seem like the most natural fit (BlackBerry users tend to be businesspeople, not Facebook’s primary audience), but the application is pretty awesome for all BlackBerry-wielding Facebook users out there.
Facebook for BlackBerry has really tight integration with the BlackBerry operating system, so many of the features “fit right in” with the rest of the device. For example, when you get a new notification sent to your BlackBerry (which is customizable) you get a notification icon on the top of the BlackBerry home screen, just like the current new voicemail or new message icons. It shows a little “F” when you have a new message. Great stuff.
You can even upload photos from the BlackBerry device’s memory straight to Facebook.
