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

I have a motorola clutch i475 – didn’t work. It let me install it, but I couldn’t enter my information to get logged in. bummer. BUT i downloaded opera mini 4.4 and I can finally surf MUCH faster and logged into facebook super fast and it comes preloaded in the bookmark (plus much much more) when it loads and works like a charm. I am on the boost network and the web access the phone comes with is junk. Download opera mini 4.4 from this link http://boostapps.com/apps/opera-mini-4-4/ and enjoy!! IDEN network
This app works great on my juno. so happy i dont have to use web bowser ne more
this facebook app works great on my blackberry 8330 best thing is does not take a lot of room , great find thanks!
deff great app too bad cant upload pictures on my BB , will not open camera when i hit that option still a good app
See if you can d/l the Facebook app directly from Facebook or BlackBerry App World, if it works on your phone, there might be a BlackBerry specific version.
the thing is Dennis my BB is flashed so i have no blackberry plan available all i can get is walkarounds which is why this facebook app is so great but oh well cant have everything , thanks
I have found a easy way to upload photos to facebook from 2 Boost Mobile phones. The first phone is a Samsung Sleek. The other is Sanyo Icognito. This works on both. First download the Facebook App. Then go all the way back to your main screen. Go into your My Stuff file on your main screen. Go into your applications file and push the Facebook app. Follow all the things it take you through (mainly to get the app started). Then on the main page click on photos. Now start taking pics and upload them to Facebook.
This rant user prefers using facebook with the opera mini app. I have zero patience lol for anything that doesnt work well. The pain in the….way to log in with just the facebook app was enough to turn me off.I can report that through opera mini everything works.
