One should not speak on things one does not know anything about! You should go to www.1jaxstate1.com and sign up for my fan page.
there's no such site.

it seems like a love/hate relationship with this app! I myself find the built in functionality perfect. I hardly open the actual app on my phone.
OP lost all credibility when he said you have to go through 5 pages to see friends list.

What are you talking about? I don't have any trouble whatsoever pulling up the dial pad, not even my parents do when I let them use my phone. You aren't being forced to use the Facebook integration you can keep it separate if you like.The baked in functionality is only half-baked..you need to go to the FB site to see anything more than a like and a status update. Though, its easier to check a status update than it is to pull up the dial pad. I don't like the mega-FB integration throughout the phone...rather keep it all separate in a tidy little app. (but there isn't one)..
news feed-->notifications-->photos-->more photos-->profile+friends+messages+events.
That's 5 pages. Plus an extra click on friends to pull up the list.

didn't realize that..there's no indication of being able to do that anywhere..but thanks. This is another reason why this is such a clunky, unorganized app.You do know don't you that you can also go Newsfeed --> Profile + Friends + Messages + Events if you swipe Left to Right?

you can swipe left to right anywhere within the OS. Doesn't mean that its clunky or unorganized whatsoever just means that you're a bit misinformed.
I hear ya... It's easy to forget that this app tries to incorporate metro capabilities.
Se1f,
I'm going to have to call you out on this one. I don't believe this post is conducive to the thread nor is it a good representation of WPCentral. You're one of our mods now. You represent us. Please, be kind and helpful. We all have, or should have, cares and concerns about the Windows Phone platform. That doesn't make us evil or even anti-WPites.
Sorry if I sound too harsh. I'm feeling pretty crummy today (think I'm coming down with the flu). I just don't like seeing people jump on others when they have a concern, and I especially don't like seeing it when it is a community leader.
As for the issue at hand, I don't believe that the Facebook app on Windows Phone is as big of a deal for us as it would be on other OSes, since we have basic functionality built in. That means, however, that the app authors need to focus on those functions that the baked-in features can't or don't cover. At this point, I don't think they are.
someone who says that WP is a crappy and frustrating experience is definitely an anti-WP in my eyes, seems like he got a device just to intentionally look for bad things about it even though they aren't actually bad. So I think that se1f was well within his right to say that especially considering that this is a WP centric site.
If we cant help you you can try Home - Microsoft Answers or here Microsoft Support
If you have any Complaints’ OR Suggestion you would like to share with MICROSOFT you can try here: Customer Feedback for Windows Phone
There is also the chance - however small - that, while Facebook may still huge now, it's popularity may take a nose-dive at some point in the future (anyone remember Myspace?)
If MS go to great lengths to build large parts of the OS around FB, it risks turning into a "Facebook phone". If something happened that meant people used FB less and less then you could end up with a fair amount of the phone's functionality becoming useless.
the baked in functionality does everything I need it to do, so not incomplete at all.

In the end, we know this OS will only be around...5-6 years and get very bland. Look at iOS, people are looking for something new out of it besides just features, wanting a look over haul at the least. (Get a lot of hooo-huumm reviews with the last couple OS updates) In 4-5 years if FB is going down hill, the OS would be in the need of an overhaul anyway.
Guys, not sure if you are all aware of it or not, but the baked in Functionality DOES NOT INCLUDE YOUR WHOLE FRIENDS LIST. Since WP7 is considered a 3rd party 'app', it is very easy for friends to not allow their info to be shared on it. I have a good friend that I cannot ever see his status changes or if he posts on my check-ins. If I open up the app on my phone, all his info comes through also.
This is most commonly noticed with pictures as many FB members will have stricter settings on their photos.
The OS will never become bland or dated, this is Microsoft were talking about here,especially with the ecosystem that's being built.

Swipe right -> click "friends."
That's one.
I think the biggest thing WP has going for it is the fact that it's a new OS and entirely different from the other OS's. I don't know whats planned for wp8, but a lack of features, customization and official apps will surely become bland and outdated, if not undesirable over time. But the upside to that is the phones run flawlessly, so who knows.
yeah im not sure what the whole WP blend thing is all about.
aside from very easy feature to implements (witch will probably be in WP8 ) what is missing?
Don't know where you've been but the people hub now allows full access to Facebook posts and pics. It's being discussed in the people hub thread.
