windows-mobile-65-facebook-1Windows Mobile 6.5 may only be available to arm chair hackers looking to flash their precious smartphones with unofficial WinMo 6.5 ROMs, but xda-developers forum member “jau6gernaut” has extracted WM6.5′s integrated Facebook application for use on any WinMo handset. The new Facebook application includes UI tweaks that jive with the new Windows Mobile 6.5′s finger-friendly design, and offers Windows Mobile users of all sizes and colors (touchscreen, non-touchscreen, 5.0, 6.0, 6.1) a chance to play with their Facebook accounts through a native Windows Mobile application.

The Facebook application allows you to manage all your Facebook contacts and even look through users’ galleries on a whim. The aim with this new application seems to be to bring the desktop Facebook experience to the mobile, albeit a more streamlined version.

So, if you want to inject your older Windows Mobile smartphone with some of WinMo 6.5 goodness, head on over to xda-developers and download the “Facebook.cab” file to your handset. You’ll need to install the application to “Internal Memory.” Be warned, the Windows Mobile 6.5 Facebook application doesn’t play too nicely with non-English ROM’s (WWE), and first-launch start-up time will take longer than usual as the application fills its cache.

If you’re using a Windows Mobile smarpthone of any kind, and you have a Facebook account, you might want to give this new Facebook app a spin!
