Re: Facebook getting updated? Where is the WP8 love?
And we're discussing $600 phones here. Of course it's a first world problem. Aren't all problems discussed on WPCentral first world problems?
you're essentially using two apps to do the same thing. It's like using one app to read emails, and another to reply to those emails.

Re: Facebook getting updated? Where is the WP8 love?
MSFT not supporting! I think you have no clue about what you are talking.
MSFT is paying Nokia 250 million USD quarterly for their support to WP and most probably this amount going to be increased.
More over if you had read the news today that Nokia has some concern about if MSFT start producing WP and this won't happen unless MSFT seeing not enough work from the OEM in supporting WP, the same they did with OEM for PC when they start doing their own hardware "Surface"

This deal isn't free. It works both ways. MSFT is paying that money and in return also enjoying Nokia large patent portfolio, Nokia's location and maps services along with Nokia's exclusivity to platform and developer support.

Facebook+ Pro | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)
I just use this. It works pretty well, has a good interface, etc.

Been toying around with how to get the FB app more in line with iPhone & Android versions and at the same time stick to the horizontal scroll style of WP. This is what I've got so far...

Re: Facebook getting updated? Where is the WP8 love?
IIRC, Microsoft outsourced the development of the Facebook app. Personally, I'd like Microsoft to take the reigns and develop the app since it's such a major platform, but I'm sure they're focusing on merging codebases between Windows 8, RT, and Windows Phone 8 to allow for easier cross platform development, among other things. The Facebook app isn't perfect, none are on any platform, but I'd much rather them focus on bigger things than the most recent Facebook update.

Facebook's stated policy is native for iOS and Android, HTML5 for what they call the long tail (everyone else).

Re: Facebook getting updated? Where is the WP8 love?
I still don't understand this either. People talk like developing a 764kb app for a smartphone is on par with making the next Star Wars movie in terms of cost and effort. Just make the damned app and be done with it.

Is that app out, or something you are working on?

You also have to realise that Android got that native version just recently. So it took a really long time for Facebook to take android as a notable platform...

I think it's just something he is working on. Would be sick to that has an app!

Re: Facebook getting updated? Where is the WP8 love?
Microsoft have neglected the current Facebook app, and have made no announcement o tell their customers what is actually going on with the app. The other non-official apps have no notifications so they are useless to me, I just want an app, whether designed by Microsoft or Facebook that works, with all the features available in ios/android version and where I get instant notifications, its annoying when chatting to someone and you don't get a notification that a message has been sent to you.
Everyone tweet @joebelfiore on Twitter asking what is happening, as he's ignored mine.

Re: Facebook getting updated? Where is the WP8 love?
This is good, but it isn't really a solid answer, it just seems like a brush off.
I think Microsoft believes people will eventually just give up if they stay shut but it really isn't helping.
