I have heard the iphone version is a lot better than the one on the BB but because I haven't seen someone demo it but have had people say it isn't very good compared to using the full site I figured it wasn't all that great. If you can do everything in the app that you can do on the website and it is efficient to use and professional looking and such then I could see using it instead of the full page but if it can't do everything you can do on the full page I'd rather put up with the scrolling up and down and left and right.
EDIT: But currently there is fuctionality on the pre for uploading pics so I'm assuming other features will get the integrated treatment rather than dedicated app like FB chat in the messaging app. I wonder what everyone would think about different FB featured being integrated in such a way?
The iPhone app I believe is the one to be compared to. I think it is the best mobile facebook experience. I haven't played too much with the BB version, but with the iPhone version, I can:
Upload pics (and tag/caption them)
View News Feeds, Notes, Pages
Comment on wall posts, walls, statuses
Update statuses
Call a contact directly from the page
Facebook Chat
And a lot I'm probably forgetting. One thing that the BB version has is the ability to view a contact in the address book and have an option to write directly on their wall from a drop down menu.
