Facebook App (Version 1.5) for BlackBerry

By -

click to Visit BlackBerry Facebook App page Finally, after much uproar, leaks and ninja appearances on the web, RIM has officially launched the latest Facebook App for BlackBerry. Not much has changed on the layout but holding on the BlackBerry’s principle of prioritising delivery than showmanship, 3 features truly stands out, but before that, download the app:

 

http://mobile.blackberry.com/ (from your BlackBerry) or http://na.blackberry.com/eng/devices/features/social/facebook.jsp#tab_tab_download (from your desktop)…

 

Once loaded, you’d realise that apart from ease of commenting and  liking friend’s feed, the three features listed under the options are:

1- BlackBerry Calendar Application

Ticking this allows the integration of your BlackBerry device calendar with your Facebook calendar which features events and birthdays primarily, so girls, he does not have a reason to forget your birthday anymore ;)

 

2- BlackBerry Message Application

There is one folder that integrates email messages, Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger and BlackBerry Messenger messages under one folder, ticking this would allow facebook notifications to be integrated in the same folder…

 

3- BlackBerry Contacts Application

This has got to be one of the coolest thing, it syncs your Facebook Friend’s List with your BlackBerry Contacts!!! So if you have a friend who has the same email address for his Facebook as in your BlackBerry, his details would be synced!!! So for someone whom you might have only his number and not company details, it will be updated… but there is more to it, if you scroll down further on the set-up and tick the option to update photos:

THEIR PROFILE PIC WILL BE ADDED TO THEIR CONTACT DETAIL!!!

 

There are cases where you have two emails of the same friend but they seem to not sync is due to the fact that the friend is using another email address, so for this cases, all you have to do is just choose their name from the friends list and click on ‘Connect to BlackBerry Contact’ which will bring up your address book, scroll to find the person and voila, it links up both the details!

 

For those who has broadband and prefer to see than read, here’s a YouTube explaining the 3 features… Till then, happy facebooking on your BlackBerry and if you are on facebook, I will be creating a group for all friends to share their resource on everything BlackBerry soon!

‘Datuk’ Shahrukh Khan Detained for 2 Hours in United States… So???

Saw in the news today, media abuzz on SRK being held for 2 hours at Newark International Liberty Airport. This reminded me of my old article I posted sometime back… Datuk Shahrukh Khan.... maa ehhhhh!!!   I bet fans around the world are throwing tantrums on the detention incident and as expected, the Indian media and political figures are calling for an equal treatment to be accorded to US VIPs and public figures during their visit to India…   And I’m certain the media of Malaysia would be joining the bandwagon to express their ‘disappointment’ on Datuk being detained… Certainly criticism and some experts would express their takes on the issue…   Let me bring everyone (including avid fans) back to reality… US is a sovereign nation that upholds law & order above everything else… When there is an uproar on discrimation, US is a country that does not discriminate definitely because apart from the President who travels on Air Force One, EVERYONE else is subje...

Saffron Hills - Our Dream Home In The Making...

Entrance Path to Denai Alam Denai Alam , a secluded township 10KM from Shah Alam city has been one of our favourite places to reside in Klang Valley. Connected by the Guthrie Corridor Expressway and away from the hustle and bustle of the metropolitan Kuala Lumpur. Our discovery of Denai Alam for the first time was approximately 3 years ago, thanks to Shane bhai but at that time, we just couldn't afford to pay the price of the properties. The unique bit of Denai Alam lies in the developer behind the whole project, Sime Darby Property Berhad with accolades of high-end projects in Malaysia that are well thought-off and features unique architectures. Denai Alam is no different in presenting the hallmark of Sime Darby in terms of township development. A year ago, we were browsing for properties in Denai Alam and we even got a property agent to show us available units, among the various types of properties, Opulenia  made us wish we had the money to get our dream home, but as i...

Kawasaki Versys Stock Shortage

By -
It's coming close to 3 months that we placed our booking for Kawasaki Versys and still, up to now there is not a single indication of the arrival of the bikes. It's really reflecting badly on Kawasaki as a top notch manufacturer to be lacking in their production. Makes me question the competency of the production managers they have at Kawasaki! The latest reason we're hearing is that Kawasaki is having a tough time producing other models as they are rushing to fulfill the 250cc bikes that were ordered by Royal Malaysian Police! All in all, it is Kawasaki's lost as the competitors are fast taking the opportunity to get their products out in the market, giving second thoughts to people like me who are getting tired of waiting. So somebody up there in the office better be taking some actions or the consumers could turn to be the deciding factor to a dwindling confidence that is shedding faster than you could say 'Vroom Vroom'...
