Finally, A Windows Mobile Facebook App!
For users of the Windows Mobile platform, visiting Facebook while on the go meant loading up the mobile web page in their device's browser. Meanwhile, Blackberry users have had their own downloadable app since late 2007. But now, as of today, there is at long last a downloadable application just for Windows Mobile users, FriendMobilizer.
Today Macrospecs, Inc. has launched FriendMobilizer, a new software application for Windows Mobile phones that gives you full access to your Facebook account. Unlike other Windows Mobile Facebook apps like Snap2Face, which only provides for photo uploads, FriendMobilizer gives Windows Mobile users an app that's comparable in feature set to the Blackberry version.
With FriendMobilizer, you can view your friend's information and profiles, write on their walls, browse photo albums, approve friend requests, view group and event invites, read your new wall posts, read the messages in your inbox, update your status, and more.

The application is currently available for both Windows Mobile devices and Pocket PCs and can be downloaded from the web site at www.faceofmobile.com. However, according to the company, the generic software platform developed for FriendMobilizer will soon be ported to other mobile OS's as well. In addition, the company plans to build mobile apps for other social networks in the future.

This is well overdue and can't believe someone has only just taken the initiative, be interesting to see the timescale behind the release to other mobile operating systems as mine isn't Windows based!
Thats good but, I wont even ask about Brazil then... Only US =/
Anyways good to know, ty
Wow, it's so fugly. I wonder why Facebook didn't build the app themselves. There's probably not a market for it on Windows Mobile.
I tried installing this on my Moto Q9h and after about 10 minutes I'm already uninstalling it. Crappy navigation, it requires that you install on the device instead of the storage card, trouble updating status, and half of the functionality just jumps you over to the IE mobile browser.
Good idea for a mobile app but I poor execution as far as I can tell.
Oh wow... haven't seen such ugliness since 2007 when I switched to an iPhone ;)
What a shame that these guys think the US is the whole world.
I'CANT REGISTER MY PHONE NUMBER TO USE FRIENDMOBILIZER WHY?
I liked what yall did
I would like to look at it but it only works for windows mobile 6.0+. :(
This is not for prime time yet - the installation seems to go fine, but when I tried launching the app, it said something like "facemobie.exe not found" then crashes.
Fring [www.fring.com] has an add-on for facebook, orkut ...
Works pretty good. Though the VOIP conversations suck big time which might just be due to the upload speeds that I have on my device :=(
I'm not that fond of the user interface, though i'm sure some will appreciate it.
