BlackBerry has announced the beta release of the Facebook for BlackBerry smartphones app v2.0 through BlackBerry Beta Zone starting today. This initial release of v2.0 has a redesigned user interface and also offers Facebook Chat.
Improvements include:
You can now check to see which of your Facebook friends are online and start a Chat conversation from within the Facebook application or within the unified mailbox on your BlackBerry smartphone.
On Facebook for BlackBerry smartphones, as long as your status is set to online, you still receive notifications even if you are not using the Facebook app.
