Research in Motion at the CTIA mobile expo today introduced Facebook for BlackBerry (registration required), a new app that gives users of most any recent version of the smartphone faster access to the social networking tools without using a browser. The platform takes advantage of the BlackBerry’s network to “push” updates to and from the phone in real time: Facebook members will receive messages and updates almost immediately, RIM says. The software also takes advantage of camera-equipped BlackBerries and lets users both upload and tag photos without having to first sync with a computer.
The new software lands first at T-Mobile in the US but will be available for free to any of the carrier’s subscribers that use a modern BlackBerry device with the service. The download should be available as of today, RIM says.
