Some good news coming out of RIM as they will update the official Facebook for BlackBerry app. Version 2.0 will be launching tomorrow in the App World and will bring the following changes/improvements:
Facebook Chat – Facebook Chat is fully integrated with BlackBerry smartphones, so users can start a conversation within the Facebook app or right from the message list on their device. Users never need to worry about missing a chat message since they’ll be notified of new chat messages even when they’re not using the Facebook app.
Brand New User Interface – Facebook for BlackBerry smartphones features a sleek new design which includes a new navigation grid, a notifications bar that borrows from the BlackBerry 6 “Today View” which summarizes all Facebook notifications, Messages, Friend Requests and Chats all in one handy location, and enhanced profile viewing.
WiFi Support – Users can stay connected with friends and enjoy the full functionality of the Facebook app for BlackBerry smartphones while in a Wi-Fi hotspot.
Core Integration – Facebook for BlackBerry is integrated with the BlackBerry message list, BlackBerry Contacts app, BlackBerry calendar, BlackBerry browser, and is now also integrated with BBM.
Redefined Notifications – Users will now be notified of polled items (notifications that aren’t delivered through BlackBerry push technology), such as ‘Likes’ and Event Wall posts.
Had it for a few months now and its awesome! Finally don’t have to go to the mobile site anymore or my iPod touch

@mike it was possible to get the beta for Facebook 2.0 for a few months now, I’ve been using it, its leaps and bounds better than the previous one. the thing thats missing from my beta version is the “Redfined Notifications”. i never get notified on likes, and when theres someone that posts a comment on a link or event wall, it just says server is busy or something..

At beta zone. Go to blackberry.com/beta on ur phone and sign up for an account if you don’t already have one then after you’re logged in, you’ll see the apps that are available for beta testing and facebook 2.0 is one of them and just download it.

I hope they have fixed Facebook Places. It just wouldn’t work on the latest build at all.
