I own a Lumia 900, and the Facebook situation is terrible. I have to connect to the site via three methods, and it's no where near efficient, nor do I see everything that's on the site. An example:
1: To post a status, I can use the "me" tile. To see who liked my status, I have to go to the Facebook app.
2: To like any comments that my friends posted on my pics, I can't do so from the people hub, so I have to do it either from the app or the touch.Facebook.com tile I have pinned to my start screen.
3. If I want to see anything from my group pages that are private, the people hub nor app work. It's back to the tile pinned for the website.
Also, forget tagging people in comments, nothing works right. Also, I can't just respond to Facebook messages via email like I could on my GS2. Being that you don't get message or chat notifications on real-time, responding by email would be nice. But that then means I read the email of the message, then have to log back into the app to respond. Again, none of these methods is great because if I load the site on my desktop, there's loads of posts that I didn't see on my phone. Is this the same situation in WP8, or is the people hub a lot more inclusive now? Is the official app on 8 a lot better than the one in 7.8? Also, the touch version of the site doesn't render correctly, so pictures are cutoff, I have to open the full size to see the whole picture in a new tab. That's a lot of workaround for a site I only use to chat with less computer savvy family members... If the Facebook situation is the same, no camera magic that Nokia is cooking up can keep me on the platform, I'll probably get an HTC One...
