My apologies....Facebook App on Droid Eris?

I cringe to even as this......I have the Facebook app from the Android App Store. Is there no way to view or compose Facebook 'emails'?

I feel like this app isn't as good as the BB Tour Facebook app but not complaining.

Just didn't know what obvious thing I am overlooking. Just trying to view/compose Facebook 'emails'.

Thanks!!!

Yeah, that's one of the features Android Facebook has been missing for a long time. You can't chat, send messages, or view anything else.

Wow that stinks. Well at least I wasn't overlooking something easy!

Now to concur Open Home wallpaper substitutes.......

Thanks for the information. Enjoy your Droid.

Yeah the application for Facebook is lacking in many ways. If you look it up, you'll see that there's a kind of grudge before Facebook and Google. Facebook didn't even develop the app for Android phones, they just lent a few developers to Google to help make it. It's not a full-pledge Facebook made app.

I find the touch website for Facebook (http://www.touch.facebook.com) to be much better than the app. And as for chat, there is actually a way to chat on your phone with no additional apps. Just go to *http://facebook.com/presence/popout.php* (the *'s are just there because without them, it automatically changed the link to "Login | Facebook" so just ignore the *'s) in your browser and boom, you have chat. Still not as convenient as having a legit app for Facebook but it definitely gets the job done if you want to chat!

Hope that helps!
