Facebook 1.5 leaks out for BlackBerry handsets

The Facebook application for Blackberrys has been hugely popular, so it’s no surprise to see anticipation building around the upcoming v1.5 update.

It appears to have leaked early, with CrackBerry reporting that a version has popped up on the internetweb. However, don’t get too excited – it’s only for devices running the 4.6 BlackBerry OS. Still, that’s good news if you’re a BlackBerry Bold owner, for example.

We’re preferring to wait for the official release, but we can understand people wishing to jump the gun. The app integrates more closely with your BlackBerry messaging, calendar and contacts, while also (finally!) letting you make comments on friends’ status messages. Watch this space, as we’ll have a review for you when it goes live.
