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

Confirmed not working on i465
I figured out how to update it from inside the program on my Samsung Factor, I went into the application permissions and changed the “Boost Extensions” to “Never Allow” and it allowed me to upgrade it from within the app. The only issue I have had since is it will goto a splash screen looking blue screen with FaceBook and 4 little white squares that look like a loading bar and then when that screen goes away it is always returned to the main screen no matter where it was before hand, but otherwise it seems to be working properly.
Samsung Factor Installs great didnt have any problems with any of my keys couldnt upgrade (already knew that it wouldnt) everything seemed to go fine except that it kept randomly refreshing the session and taking me back to the main screen.
Doesn’t work on innuendo. Gets caught in a loops trying to start session.
Installs great, loads great, but can’t log in. The keys are not mapped correctly. Boost i776
