Best facebook App for my phone, advice please!

gazmix

Hi

I have a Sony w995 phone & am wondering which is the best way to connect to facebook.
I know i can access via the browser & add it to my bookmarks, but a friend of mine had this phone & had 2 ways of connecting. 1, via browser & 2, a quick link app!
Can someone tell me which is the best, maybe https://www.getjar.com or here:-

Surely the way via facebook is the way to go?

Thanks

Rusty!

You would assume that following Facebook's advice would be sensible.

i'm just unsure on how to go about it, do i go to Account settings>Mobile>Add Phone on my laptop, but i think that just sets my phone up for text notifications?!!

Does doing what the video says actually install the original App on my phone?

I've seen some poor versions of Facebook on phones & want the best one.

Or this:-

or is this just for Android phones?

will it install an app in my apps on my phone?

Where does it say anything about a laptop (or a PC)?

You'll never know until you try.

Well, try different apps, then chose the best if you do have what to chose from.

I just want the right one as i know downloading stuff from websites onto a phone can corrupt software if bogus!

I honestly don't know why you are pursuing using this phone like a smartphone when it quite clearly isn't.
It was a very good phone it's it day for photos and for Walkman (remember them...) features but it's a pretty much dead operating system and I think you'll be very lucky to find anything new being developed for it.
You might be lucky to find a developer community, but for a phone that was sold in 2009, I think you will need to be extremely lucky.
Take my advice, use the phone for the features it was developed for, but if you want smartphone features, get yourself a cheap Android. It'll give you everything you want and more, without any of the hassle.

I don't want loads of apps like a smartphone, just a facebook one! Someone i knew had 2 versions of facebook on her w995, 1 via browser & 1 that was on the apps page!
The phone has youtube, SatNavigation & Google maps !

I have just bought the phone & i don't like touchscreens.

I don't want smartphone features & the phone does have an App, i just want the safe one!

I think you are going to have to take a chance and download one. Either that or just use a bookmark in your browser on the phone.

yes, in my friends phone, when she took a picture & then pressed send, it said to facebook or as message or email, this was the app & not a bookmark!

When i click 'download' on the facebook app on getjar website, it gives me a code & to go to m.getjar.com & then go to 'quick download' at the bottom of the page! I can't see that link to 'quick download' can anyone see it or am i missing something!?

thanks

This is in facebook/help, so it must be still available:-

https://www.facebook.com/help/216254771745412

It then takes me here:-

http://facebook-mobile.en.softonic.com/java

which then, after clicking download, takes me to here:-

http://www.facebook.com/mobile?refsrc=http%3A%2F%2Ffacebook-mobile.en.softonic.com%2Fjava%2Fdownload&_rdr

which i thought was just an android app download! Apparently not!!
