hey guys it's brandon minimun from pocket naw Kham we've talked about a lot of different ways that you can get to Facebook through windows mobile more than any other platform there are so many ways that you can have a facebook like experience right on your mobile device now this new facebook application has been extracted from a windows mobile 6.5 rom from XDA developers which either means one of two things it will be included on in windows mobile 6.5 which we didn't know or it will be available as an application that you can download from the market place once the marketplace launches later this year so anyway I'm going to take you through how this looks on my HTC touch pro here and i'll i'll cut back in after i log in ok here we are logged in and i should mention that this will work on any windows mobile device we're getting reports that it works on non-touchscreen windows mobile devices as well haven't tested it on that yet but uh well we'll see how that goes so here's the the main page that we see we're taken to our news feed and we can scroll down the page and we get a little bit of flicks crawling although it really needs work this is a early version of course we can click status updates to see what people are doing we can click over further to see who has updated photos recently and we're back to the newsfeed and of course we can tap on any of these actions to view profile the person or view the album kind of context context sensitive menus and then we can click up here to the profile of well yourself really and the first thing that will show up is the posts that are on my wall and it takes a little bit of time when you first start it up because it has to catch all the information ok so here we are on the wall and if we go over to the next tab info it will show you all of my information that you would be used to seeing on facebook such as you know name email address phone number if you have that information listed so I'm going to go over to photos and show you what the photo browsing experience is like and it will update the the covers of the albums in a second and here they come now and we'll go into the first album here photos and it comes up pretty fast you can just tap right to left although flick scrolling also work so you can do it that way or you can open up to landscape to see a bigger picture and we can also flick scroll here okay and then we can go up to this button here which shows us all of our friends so we can see a through z the friends that we have listed and you can scroll your finger you get to see a little status message underneath if they've updated their status recently the next one is messages so you can manage all of your messages your inbox your outbox you can send new messages to friends and the third tab is something that I'm not going to pull up for security reasons but it's really awesome most people list their phone number on facebook and if you're friends with them then you can see the phone number which is isn't too big of a problem because if you're friends with them then you don't mind if they call what's great about this tab is that it will list all your friends all their phone numbers so that in a similar display like this I can tap on Chelsea and a new screen will come up that will say call Chelsea SMS Chelsea or email Chelsea it's a great way to contact people that you keep in touch with on Facebook so overall I really hope that this native facebook application is included in windows mobile 6.5 or becomes available in the application marketplace I think it's the first really good job at integrating facebook with Windows Mobile that said if you don't want to install pre-release software onto your device there are many ways to get facebook on windows mobile and i'll post a link on the video right now to get that but if you do want to try this out i'll post the link on pocketnow.com on how to get this pre-release version of native facebook for windows mobile that's it for now
