Re: My Facebook client for the n900

A great feature would be to make the app fail to install on the phones of the all the naysayers who believed that there was "no need for an app when you can just go to the full website" :D

I'm kidding of course!

Thanks a ton for this!

if you can do like the iphone version, that'll be great =)

You can get FB Chat integrated with Conversations now, Facebook offers Jabber - Take a look at http://thenokiablog.com/2010/02/10/h...ut-of-the-box/

Not well known, but:

http://x.facebook.com

Is the high-end mobile site. It's better than the N97 client, and the iPhone one. Currently the best facebook experience on a mobile device IMO.

Technically, they're right - but I think this has the ability to be/feel a lot nicer, and to not require a network connection if you're suffering from spotty connectivity. :)

This redirects to www.touch.facebook.com for me. Is this supposed to happen? If so, it is well known on here, and there is even a link to it on the standard mobile Facebook site, right at the bottom.

Yeah...think that's what it is supposed to do.

touch.facebook.com isn't the greatest either

Re: My Facebook client for the n900

This is looking pretty good and is exactly what i've been hoping for. I have to agree with you that for me personally I'd prefer an app which intergrates with my device and looks and feels the same, this is one of the reasons why I enjoy using jabber for facebook chat through my phone so much, if I wanted it to look like facebook I probably would just use the facebook or facebook lite sites, although I think the option to change the look of the app to something a bit more "facebook like" would be a good option for those who prefer it.

Not necessarily push.. but what about registering it with CRON with a menu-configurable setting for how often to check? Thus making it somewhat a service that gives notifications every time some menu-configurable list of facebookey things change.. (status updates, comments on your status', posts on your wall, images tagged of you........... automatically remove tags on images tagged of you *cough* :D).

Other features on similar apps:
- Image Uploading
- Image Tagging
- Album creation, deletion, modification
- "Events" notifier
- Sync profile pictures with Contacts
- Comment on Posts
- View Wall, Pictures, Profile of friends/self.
- Delete Comments/posts

Not sure if any of these have been mentioned.. I only skim-read :D.

Re: My Facebook client for the n900

You could integrate this with Hermes too.

Also, you could add an "export to n900 calender" option for events.
