I am a iPhone lover but an AT&T hater. I recently went to Verizon to get better service and ended up getting the Droid… I do miss my iPhone but the Droid is a great subsitute. The apps are simililar but like most individuals have already stated.. Facebook for iPhone has had more time to improve. The Droid app will catch up.

I ditched the droid FB app and use the browser to access it instead. I’ve read seemingly unbiased web sites that say iphone’s fb app is much bettr than droid’s so… your overall perceptions are on the right track. BTW, f i could’ve waited, i woulda waited for the nexus w/ CDMA (verizon). The droid’s physical keybd is useless & compromises form factor, dolphin browser is nice but would like to have multitouch everywhere, and I hope the MP3 forward/rewind is improved — hard to get fine granularity like f can w/ iphone.

I would appreciate some info on how to delete the Facebook App from my Droid.

I would also like to delete facebook from my droid. Its clutter. and its retarded. I love my new phone, but hate how it assumes i’m a social network ***** like “everyone else”. I would really like to delete apps that I WILL NEVER USE.

I too had a Droid and iphone until about a week ago. The iphone app is much better but I’m glad people here pointed out that it has been out much longer. The major differnces I can tell are as follows. On the iphone you can see friends’ info, including a clickable link for email. It will also show all of that users friends if that person permits. Facebook on iphone allows uploading multiple photos to the same album, as well as video. The Droid can do one photo at a time but no video. It is also true there is no inbox within the app on the Droid, and most links and content take you to the mobile site. The fastest refresh interval for the droid is 30 mins whereas the iphone updates instantly. I’m wondering how the Droids facebook app will even get updated since it came with the phone. Did google’s developers make it? If so, I doubt it would be an appstore update. We might have to wait for the official app from facebook if there even is one in development.

What is this facebook inbox problem?

The Android facebook app does not have it. The Blackberry facebook app also does not have it. Third party facebook apps on Android (bloo) make it very clear that they cant incorporate it into their apps.

Something else must be the problem. One redeeming feature with the regular android facebook app (on my G1) is that you can shake it to get inbox notifications. You are then taken to the the mobile facebook site.

By the way N900 widget has inbox notifications. However the widget takes you straight to the mobile site too. Of course on the N900 the browsing experience is on par with a computer so a full fledged app is hardly needed.

@ Shelby + boltzmann21

That doesn't delete the app, just the shortcut.

Go to settings, manage applications, select facebook then click uninstall.

@boltzmann Try holding ur finger on the icon until it picks up then drag it down to the grey tab about the bottom of ur screen. Tab should turn red and a trashcan will appear…
