facebookappforblackberry.gifRemember when Facebook changed the status updates from “Ronen is” to just “Ronen”? Well they finally convinced RIM to do it in the mobile Facebook application. They just sent an email to many users about this update.

That is about it that they updated. You can pick up the latest version by going to:

OTA Download Page or Desktop link

Thanks Raffy for sending this tip in!

    Why does this show up as the same version number (.23) that I already have?

    I don’t think they changed the file on their mobile site – a large number of users on various sites are reporting that the status-based “is” still shows, even after downloading the “update”!

    Give it a few days and hopefully they should upload the new version to their mobile site, or if you have a computer, you can see how you go through their regular site:

    There is no update. I have the .23 version installed already and the “is” is still there. Many other sites have exposed this little screw up by RIM.

    Yeah it seems to be a bug by RIM because they sent out the announcement…

    I haven’t tested it personally, but most Web sites are reporting that the version of Facebook offered on Research in Motion’s (RIM) “mobile” BlackBerry site has not yet been updated…

    I’m not sure if the Facebook application has been updated on the “normal” site or not, but it’s there to try:

    I don’t do Facebook, so I don’t get it.
