Facebook for Blackberry Now Includes Places, but No Deals or Groups

RIM has released a new version of its Facebook for Blackberry Smartphones app which includes the location feature Places, as well as improved search and friend lists. Users can now check-in to nearby Places, tag friends, and view check-ins by friends, but not add photos to check-ins or view Deals as users of the latest Facebook for iPhone application can. The update gives Blackberry more Facebook functionality than Palm or Windows phones which still don’t have Places, but less than iPhone and Android which have Groups.
