FIM, a Facebook Chat Client for WM devices, has been updated to v2.3.5... It works great for me, with an instant pop up when a chat message is sent... You can go here to download the latest version...

Quote:

Features:
* Facebook Chat
* Photo / Video Uploads directly from your device
* Integrated m.facebook.com browser
* Status Updates
* Message Notifications
* AppToDate Support
* All Video Modes Friendly
* Touch Friendly
* No 3rd party registration is needed, this app connected directly to the Facebook website.

WAP: Fim needs solid 3g/wifi internet connection. even if you operator allows some facebook features thru its wap proxy, not sure it will be enough to use chat feature of facebook

"Incorrect Email/Password Combination": but you are positively sure you entered everything alright? well, if you have special characters in your email or password replace them.. only numbers, english letters and of course @ at the email allowed, also keep in mind that facebook passwords are case sensitive.

3G: some 3g issues were fixed since version 2.2.8, If you still can't connect over 3G, check the settings on: Start->Settings->Connections Tab->Connections->Advanced->Select Networks->Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using.. You should choose your operator's internet connection and not its wap portal.

WM 6.5: Internal browser replaced since version 2.2.8.7, if its still not working for you, try using the external browser option

Smart Phones: QVGA Smart phones is supported since version 2.2.7, if you have problems/comments/suggestions post them in this forum

Photo/Video Uploads: If you are having problems with photo or video uploading, update your .NETCF to 3.5

I use it a lot and I love it.. It is being updated constantly!

I agree...
A native FB app would be wonderful.

I use the iPhone page in my opera browser right now, and it works ok.
