RIM has announced a new beta release of their Facebook app, which is now available for the public to download. The new version of the app, 2.0, brings a large number of improvements to the Facebook experience on the phone. Facebook for BlackBerry smartphones version 2.0 features: an overhauled user interface, “Always On” Facebook Chat notifications, a redesigned navigation grid, new notifications bar, improved news feed scrolling, enhanced profiles and added publisher functionality. If you’re using BlackBerry OS 6 on your BlackBerry, you can head over to the BlackBerry Beta Zone to download the app now. Other versions of BlackBerry OS will be supported in subsequent beta releases and at launch, so for those of you who don’t have the latest OS, sit tight.
