Facebook 2.3 for Windows Phone hands-on
Share:
First and foremost, we adore the snazzier looking interface it’s sporting, as various photos litter the top portion of the interface – and in fact, images are rotated as we scroll through its various screens. Actually, it employs some of the same design cues found with Facebook’s new Timeline feature, which ultimately gives it a very personal touch. Moreover, we’re glad to see that we’re not experiencing any more delays when scrolling through long listings, and instead, it maintains the same fluid and instantaneous response in all areas.
Diving deeper into the app, there’s no question that its functionality has been expanded tremendously. And in all fairness, the experience follows perfectly to the desktop one, as we’re given the ability to check out who has “like” something, controls with privacy options with status posts, and a new hub that aggregates photos from the “Mobile Uploads” albums from our friends. All in all, the refinements found with this version are deep and felt throughout all aspects of the app. Honestly, we absolutely love the personal approach that the app brings to the table.

Really? I hate the Facebook app for android. Its really slow, and I know its not the phone because I have a galaxy nexus. I really like the metro look of WP7.

I like the looks equally. But the metro style is really cool!! And agreed. On my Thunderbolt it's slow as snail poop.

Agreed, I hate the Facebook app on my Android. I use Friendcaster because it's tolerable

U think facebook on android is slow? Try the one on IOS and you might hate your phone.

I own an iPod and to be honest I think the IOS Facebook is really nicely done BUT come Friday I will be getting my Radar 4g and this new Facebook overhaul looks really great! I can't wait and now I can brag about the Facebook app instead of hiding it.
