14 DAY TRIAL // A new flavor of the Facebook application is now available for download for the owners of older BlackBerry devices, as long as their handsets are powered by OS 5 or newer.
The new flavor of the application, available for download as version 4.0, sports some appealing new features inside, making it easier for users to stay connected with their friends and family.
Furthermore, the new flavor of the software sports enhanced navigation capabilities, making it easier for users to access favorite tabs.
The overall performance capabilities of the app have been improved too, so that users could access updates faster than before, and enjoy a much better photo experience than in the previous flavors of the app.
As the company notes in a recent blog post, some of the main features that the new Facebook 4.0 for BlackBerry arrives on devices with include:
- Stay connected with friends and discover content quicker with greater navigation tools and an enhanced photo experience.
- Enhanced navigation – a brand new navigation list slides in from the left, allowing you to access your favorite tabs. For easier discovery and viewing, “Friends” and “Pages” now occupy separate tabs and unique notification drop downs including “Messages” and “Requests” replace the “Today” header.
- Better photo experience – You now have more photo options with the update to give you a richer experience. Enjoy full screen photo browsing, add or view tags of photos, and make selections with the Comment and Like buttons.
- Quicker access to updates – Get faster content updates by engaging the “pull down to refresh” option so you can check for the latest on “News Feed posts,” “Wall,” “Messages,” “Events,” and “Nearby” pages.
The application has already been made available for download through the official BlackBerry World portal, although it might not appear as up for grabs in all markets at the moment. Users are also encouraged to offer feedback on their experience with the app, so that more improvements could be brought to it.
