Just to name a few things (I know there are more):
- You cannot tag people (you can on Blackberry, maybe others)
- You cannot write a caption AT ALL for photos (you can on Blackberry, maybe others)
- You cannot view individually posted pics. You are taken to the entire album.
- When you want to make a comment on something or write on someones wall, if you flip out the hardware keyboard and switch to landscape mode, anything you type doesn't save (that's right, try it). You have to either do it and not save, then try again (in the same screen orientation), or you have to remain in the same screen orientation the entire time from opening to close.
- And for crying out loud, what is with "Button 1" and "Button 2"?? Did the developers really just give up and quit halfway??
- Just barely are we able to "like" posts.
That is just off the top of my head. I'm sure there are more problems. So yes, the Facebook app for Windows Mobile is aweful. Still. and worse yet, I bet nobody using it expects any updates. We just use this because that's all we get, and we know it.
FB for WM =  |
Are you using the Facebook version from Microsfot Marketplace? It is the latest version and var more complete than the built-in one or the one you can download from Facebook.
- Still can't tag folks
- If you go to the Facebook Mobile site, you can find your user specific email address that you can send pictures and videos to. This will let you add a subject line that then becomes the uploads caption. Just create a new contact on your phone for the email address they give you.
- With the new version, you tap the image and you get a dialog to view photo and other stuff. Click view photo and you get to the single photo, but can browse teh album, or just click back softkey to go back to the main facebook app
- Sliding out the keyboard keeps the text, just tried it.
- All the button text as complete on my version
- You can view profiles, view and make comments, like posts all from the News and Status pages
