Do you receive the notifications to one of the email accounts on your BlackBerry? It seems that the facebook client intercepts these messages as they come into the device and displays them in the app along with a BlackBerry stle alert. I've been exchanging messages with people already. For me it transforms facebook into a real-time communication system rather than just the time when I'm sitting at my PC and can be arsed to login to the site. I'm far more likely to interact with friends while I'm moving about rather than while at work. Email as an application is dead, it's now just the transport layer.

I have it on my Blackberry and I am stunned at how useless it really is. I can't receive messages from people, as it only appears that I can send them. I have two messages sitting in my inbox on Facebook that appear when i log into the website but don't appear when I log into the FB application. I can't view the Facebook mini or news feed on the application. Essentially, it is a one way application to allow you to send messages, send invites, poke people, upload photos or update my status. Thats it. It appears to be quite a poor excuse for a Blackberry Facebook Application. Sorry Blackberry / Facebook team, you missed out on this one.
