Two Facebook Apps for Windows Mobile

In my opinion, Snap2Face is the better of the two applications that I took a look at for Facebook apps for the Shadow as it uses its own interface. Additionally, it gives several handy options like being able to SYNC your Facebook contacts with your Outlook contacts/address book, and setting your Cache folder to the Storage Card. You can get updates, check your inbox, poke friends, write on other’s walls and pretty much every major action you would want to do on Facebook from Snap2Face. I think the layout can be improved upon a bit and the soft keys used more effectively. You can get started by going to http://www.magnifoca.com/download_snap2face.html

The other is FriendMobilizer from FaceOfMobile. I don’t really care for this as it is basically (with apologies to the developer) an ad driven Internet Explorer wrapper. It has a badly placed Exit function and since it wraps the mobile Facebook page, pressing the Back key on the Shadow when in a text field will exit the application instead of backing over the previous character like any other application. Because it pulls down webpages instead of just Facebook data the speed is much slower than Snap2Face. The features weren’t better than actually visiting Facebook’s mobile page so I didn’t keep this one installed. If you want to check it out go to FaceOfMobile.com

Thanks! I downloaded Snap2Face today and like it very much :) Have you found any apps for myspace by any chance?

kcjxvoller, I’m glad you asked, yes there is but not exactly the same as Snap2Face. Check out the new article here http://www.allshadow.com/2008/07/16/myspace-for-windows-mobile…sort-of/

I’m a little confused…

For one… I keep getting a failed login\communication error when I try to login to Snap2Face. Went through all the instructions.

But even more, you said that you can access facebook from your mobile browser… I can’t.
If I go to facebook on my phone, if I try to login, it just reloads the login page.

I can access MySpace just fine.

Any tips?
Thanks
