You can delete that status update on your wall, but as with many things on FB you probably can't do it from the WM version. On a PC, just mouse over that status update, mouse to the right and the word "Remove" will show up. Click "remove" and that item will be removed. I've done this a number of times.

There are a number of limitations to the WM FB app; I can't describe them all but I agree they are frustrating.

I think the core of this is that WM is a less viable platform for development than iPhone, Android and BB to begin with (in terms of making money and earning market share); couple that with Microsoft's focus on Windows 7 Phone and you have a "why should we care" attitude toward anything that is available right now. I've spoken to developers who are working on apps for the 3 major platforms here in the States and when I mention Windows Mobile they just laugh. Doesn't make it right, but if you haven't invested heavily in a WM user base in the past (PocketShield, SPB, etc.) why bother now.
