Facebook Application – Nokia 5800

Finally the dedicated Facebook application is now available for download and use for your latest S60 5th edition Nokia phones. From now on you can update your Facebook profile status, share and upload various images, post comments on your friends wall straight from your Nokia N97, Nokia XpressMusic 5800 Touch UI and other S60 5th edition devices.

Admit it that the Nokia N97 powers itself quite well and is probably the better of the two when compared to the iPhone. As we all know that the Touch UI based Nokia N97 is surely set to become the next big thing in the smartphones market with a 16:9 screen resolution (640 x 360 pixel ratio), built in 32GB of memory and 5MB LED Flash camera. The fact that N97 comes with a built in interface for Social Web 2.0 apps makes it even better, something that other similar mobile computers lack (like the 5800 XpressMusic). The official OVI store of Nokia have already uploaded the Facebook app and anyone using a Nokia N97 or 5800 can use it.

We at Chaos Inc. are also working (and sneaking around) to develop or discover a similar mobile app so that all you peeps using the S60 3rd edition platform can avail the uber features that Nokia Facebook application offers. However, till we find anything that is dedicated to Facebook and is compatible with 3rd edition devices, feel free to check out and enjoy Facebook on your Touch UI based Nokia 5th edition phone. If you are looking for a Facebook app for Nokia N95 then check out the post I made about Facebook earlier.
