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.
Let us take a look at the features that the Nokia Facebook application provides when installed on your Nokia:

Updates 13th December 2009:
Here is a little update my good friends Nokia has released the official Nokia version of Facebook application which was previously made for Nokia E71 based PDA smartphones. However, it has been confirmed and tested rigorously to conclude that the official Nokia Facebook application works with almost all Nokia 5th edition and 3rd edition smartphones and touchscreen devices including the N-Series, E-Series and X-Series smartphones.
The official Nokia Facebook Application lets you post updates related to your status and check out what your friends are up to.
It additionally lets you upload images straight from your phone that you have perhaps taken from the phone camera or the laptop/desktop.
It also lets  you sort, view and update all sorts of pending account or profile notifications such as friend requests, group invitations, fan page introductions etc.
You can view note contents and feed updates of your friends and instantly reply to their status without the need of leaving the screen at any point in time.
It also makes it possible for you to search your undiscovered friends, contacts and relatives online.
You can change your account info and details, view the image gallery of your friends with the help of the official Facebook client for Nokia.
Lastly, one of the most used feature in Facebook is also implemented in this Nokia Facebook client and that is the ability to send and receive instant pokes!!
If  you are using the Nokia S60 V3 or V1 phones then it is recommended that you try this version of the official Nokia Facebook Client that comes embedded with the latest firmware builds of the Nokia E71 and E72 handhelds.
Please note that this application is not the default shortcut link found in the new versions of Nokia N97 phones. It is a mobile software which should work with multiple phones. Cheers and enjoy!
