After version 1.3 of Facebook available last week, it was the turn of version 1.5 to talk about it. FaceBook for BlackBerry version 1.5 is targeted for a January 2009 release, and will include the deeper integration with Facebook while maintaining the unique push features offered in current application.
New features in Facebook 1.5 for BlackBerry include:
Access & Manage Facebook Phone Book - view friends phone numbers, request friends phone numbers, publish your phone number and even add numbers to your BlackBerry address book.
New Account Creation - create a new Facebook account directly from your BlackBerry.
Facebook Birthday & BlackBerry Calendar Link - automatically import & link friends birthdays to your BlackBerry Calendar.
Facebook Event Calendar & Blackberry Calendar Link - save Facebook events into your BlackBerry Calendar. Facebook events will be a different color and an event reminder notification can even be set up.
Facebook version 2.0 is also in the works, but that is scoped for later in the year as part of BIS 2.7, along with newer versions of the Flickr and MySpace app
