This is the official Facebook Java app. Facebook claims it’s incompatible with all Boost feature phones and won’t let you download it. However, BoostApps Forum member WyldeChilde tried it on his Incognito and reports that it:
” Works great. Connects quickly. Keys are mapped correctly.
The Bad: Upgrading to new version impossible thru Facebook as they blackball my phone. QWERTY symbols are wrong. You have to press SYM and use the Symbol list.
Overall, great replacement for launching the web browser all the time.”
According to Facebook, the app lets you update your Status, view your News Feed, Inbox, and Photos, upload photos and find friends from your phone’s contacts. Not all features work on all phones
I’m not sure what, if any, other phones it works on. It doesn’t work on my Rambler or i776, it runs but none of the keys work. If you try it on any other phones leave a comment letting us all know if it works. Update: reported to work on the Mirro, Seek and Rant. Photo uploading reported to work on Seek and Incognito

Yeah, blows weinie on my INNUENDO. Downloaded fine, wont fully launch. Configures and test device for a obsurd amount of time, then finally says starting new session and loading for only my Gfunk lord knows how long.
I gave up and stopped waiting after like 30 mins, tried everything, finagled permission settings and what not.
This facebook app is definetly not the poop for the Innuendo.
But you what is the poop for me and my fellow Innuendo users?

i have the innuendo and after 20 minutes it still says loading, and a few other things. couple of times it looked like it was done and i could see the front page of facebook then it would start downloading again. still havent got it to fully download yet. anyone have any ideas to get it fully downloaded on a innuendo?
i have boost service, it works great on my samsung rant. love it! so much better than going thru the browser. the layout is wonderful 🙂 thanks so much.
Glad to hear it works on the Rant. Thanks for letting us know.
… target field to the log in button .
I was not really expecting this to work on my i465 and I was not disappointed .
It does not recognize the D pad and has other key mapping . After a long press on the fn key I hit the 5 key and was able to enter my info , but I couldn’t move the target …
i couldnt even put the information in….
i465 right? When reporting an app not working please say what phone so others with the same phone can avoid wasting their time downloading.
