These bastards at RIM launched the 1.7 and when they f**ked that up, they cut off access to the download links for the 1.6 verion that worked fine before, WTF are these so called new “system requirements” that I don’t have? Huh?

P.S.- isn’t it weird that an old version of an app requires more shit and resources that the newer version. What BOLLOCKS

Facebook always loses the server connection and shuts down for 2 or 3 days and now I can’t even view status updates on friends pages they come up as “a{:}” or something like that. Very frustrating, ready to delete the Appm

Honestly I am getting tired of this. I pay good money for the phone and the service then they go and give us bug filled applications and no clear way to fix them. I just want 1.6 back, I thought I hated it until 1.7! (sigh)

I pulled the battery, double checked the memory (there was enough before, now can there not be enough now?).

More trouble than it’s worth. I’m ready to move on without mobile Facebook.

Anyone out there who can tell me how to set the landing page to Status Updates (or anything other than News Feed!)?

Yech.

Facebook 1.7 for BB gives the same ‘data connection error” as 1.6 did. The only way out for many users was to go back to 1.5. WTF cant RIM get this right? Iphone apps simply dont have these stupid issues. Another RIM inspired waste of my time. And yes I have tried battery pull, resetting permissions, turning on APN settings, reinstalltion, HRT registering, deletion of the desktop [IPPP} service book + battery pull, nothing works. Idiots.
