New version of Facebook for Windows Mobile released

spider — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 06:00:00 GMT

A new version of the official Facebook app for Windows phones has been released on OpnMarket. This latest version 1.1.0.14 brings the ability to Like/dislike, comment, view comments, notifications and search functionality to Windows phones running Windows Mobile OS.

What’s new in Facebook 1.1 for Windows phones:

- Hopefully some bugfixes and improved speed
- Improved notifications system
- "View Comments"
- "Comment"
- "Like" (or "Dislike")
- “Search” (for new contacts or existing ones)

This app is currently not available on Windows Marketplace for Mobile. You will have to download and install it from OpnMarket – a freeware alternative to Windows Marketplace. Simply point your phone to http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/opnmarket via the built-in web browser to install OpnMarket. Facebook 1.1 can then be installed from this free marketplace for apps.

Facebook Mobile from Microsoft - how it's the same as and different from the desktop version

spider — Fri, 08 May 2009 05:00:00 GMT

I just found this great post at MobilityMinded that walks you through the desktop version of Facebook and then the Microsoft Mobile Facebook application that shows you what's the same and what's different.

I installed it last night and have found a couple differences so far:

when you click on a friend's status update, there's no option to "Like" it
when you click on a status update, whether your own or a friend's, you only see the last comment posted.

I'm going to keep poking around to see if there's something I'm missing. If you have found these options, could you let me know?

Finally! A Facebook Application for your Windows Mobile 6 phone!

Why won’t Facebook Mobile save my password?

spider — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 05:00:00 GMT

I started using Facebook Mobile on my HTC Mogul (WM 6.1) last summer and it worked fine. It saved my email address and password – all I had to do was use the link in my Favorites and I was logged in. Over the last few months, more often than not, I had to enter my password to get in. Now it happens all the time. It really makes it a pain to use Facebook Mobile now. This doesn’t happen with BrightKite Mobile or even with the Bank of America Mobile Banking web site (BOA saves my account number – I do have to enter my PIN, but it’s always been that way).

I tried another browser, Opera Mobile, but it happens with Opera, too. So, I’m thinking it’s either an issue with my phone, or a setting in my Facebook account, but for the life of me, I can’t figure out what it is and how to fix it.

Please let me know if you have any ideas!
