Even if it won't be deleted on the blackberry appworld, I'm still not a fan because of their action....

Edit: OpenWA is much better then the official WhatsApp. The official client has so many bugs and things that don't work properly.
Ofcourse, for Blackberry, It's all about the money...

I suppose that there are always considerations of risk and reward, but for Friends, the reward could be HUGE (3 ecosystems' #1 FB app would be a monster win) and the risk is IMO very SMALL, i.e. that FB would come in and demand that a 3rd party app be squeezed out. WhatsApp is very different from FB, I think.

Tgalal is a brilliant dev and we all know how much it sucks to be cheated. I hope he can get money through his OpenWA app one way or the other. He's shown what he can do.

Building a highly experimental version of Friends rebased on Nemo Social plugin on the MeeGo OBS.

Follow instructions on how to add the repository on the first page, and apt-get install friends-qml if you want. Remove qfb-friends before, remove cache, remove config.

Beware, highly experimental, nothing is guaranteed to work. Please install it only for testing, and go back to qfb-friends for a more stable version.

It will get better and better for the next iterations.

Works. Fast and stable. Thanks.
Patiently waiting for more features now.
P.S. You need a standard splashscreen. :P

Of cause. It is now the only way to deliver. I think it should make everything easy ... Until OBS shutdown.

Same here, but I guess that's how it's supposed to be right now and more stuff will be added further down the road.

When I said highly experimental, I did not meant that everybody should install it ... It is expected: right now close to nothing works.

Well, then it was like I mentioned. I installed it for testing purposes and out of curiosity.
The things that works are working good so keep up the good work. N9 really needs a good facebook client.
