Facebook for Windows Mobile.

June 9, 2009 by Chris · Leave a Comment 

I’ve been mildly frustrated that I haven’t really found a simple way to get pictures or videos directly from my phone to Facebook. The typical MMS method doesn’t work with my Windows Mobile HTC Mogul phone.

This weekend I received an email from “Total Access from Windows Mobile” announcing their Facebook app. I gave it a shot tonight just to see how it works.

Firstly, I have to say that it is definitely an easy way to upload pictures – previously taken or on the fly – directly to Facebook. Same for videos. And for those reasons alone it is worth keeping around. An easy and convenient way to make status updates on the fly as well.

The photo gallery viewer is pretty slick too.

It has some challenges though. For instance, I haven’t found an intuitive (or any) way to see comments on updates. I have to be honest, that’s half the reason I check Facebook is to see comments on other people’s updates.

More details from the download site:

New from Windows Mobile: a Facebook application for your phone! Download the new Facebook application for Windows Mobile and:

  • Send messages to any of the people in your Friends list.
  • Take pictures and videos on your phone, then upload them right to Facebook.
  • Send messages or call people in your Friends list.
  • Manage your profile and post anytime, anywhere.

Keep up with the latest news and posts with Facebook on your phone. Now your status updates can be up-to-the moment accounts of what you’re doing. Photos and videos are about as close to live-action as you can get. Show your friends what you’re up to, while you’re out and about.
