We had heard rumblings of Facebook 1.6 for BlackBerry not long ago, and tonight it will be available. The biggest changes will be profile and wall viewing right from the app (no more fuddling around the mobile site), commenting on your friend feed right from the home screen, and a new slideshow format photo-viewing option.  Language support for Thai, Indonesian and European Portugese are also a go, if you happen to be in those neighbourhoods. Hit up blackberry.com/facebook for your update around 6 PM EST.

Simon Sage’s education largely surrounded writing, technology and online community, leading him to begin his blogging career at www.BlackBerryCool.com and to quickly discover a vibrant and active community surrounding BlackBerry and mobile technology. In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them. Recently Simon’s been covering RIM’s gradual move into an already-crowded consumer market, and the impact of burgeoning challengers, such as the iPhone, as well as long-time leaders, like Nokia, on BlackBerry’s advancement. With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer.
