Here are the datails, I’m just c&p:

Email this link to yourself on your blackberry to download Facebook 1.5 for Blackberry OTA (over the air). http://bit.ly/ji3dg

More details:

Version 1.5 of Facebook for BlackBerry contains several much anticipated enhancements, including integration with the BlackBerry Message, Contacts, and Calendar applications.

Version 1.5 includes several new features:

* BlackBerry Message application integration – Now, you can view Facebook messages from your Inbox. Before, you had to launch the Facebook application itself

* BlackBerry Calendar application integration – Now, all events you RSVP to and all friends’ birthdays are automatically added to a calendar called “Facebook.”

* BlackBerry Contacts application integration – Now, you can sync Facebook profile photos, phone numbers, and work details to your Contacts for any friends you choose.

* Commenting on status updates – Very popular in other mobile versions, status update commenting is coming with version 1.5.

1. Facebook messages will make it to your main blackberry inbox, noted with a facebook icon.
2. Fulls sync between your blackberry contacts and your Facebook contacts. From your blackberry address book, you can send your BB contact a FB message, write on their wall, or poke them. From your FB address book you can call the person … which is a nice way to use FB as your address book. Nicely done by Facebook in moving in this direction.
3. You can now comment on status messages from the Facebook app.

Of all the features I’ve explored thus far, the “friends” list on the Facebook BB app is a game changer — similar to how people use Facebook on iphone as their address book.
