well i tryed, i clicked on 'get app' & entered my number! The same number that will be in the w995 but is in a different phone.

Facebook sent me a text saying i will get facebook mobile here:-

which just redirects me back to the facebook mobile page!

Anyone!!

I think it redirects you because you are using a PC, not the phone you are supposed to use.

What are trying to achieve by using a different phone?

a friend told me that the facebook mobile page would take me to getjar, so i was just trying!

i'm puzzled as to how entering a phone number into facebook, they will know that my phone is java as i think that page is for any phones wanting facebook mobile/

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 !

These apps may have been pre-loaded on the Phone and no longer available anywhere for download.

SonyErricson do have a history of pulling everything they released for a phone after they discontinue it, and so if it's something they wrote then you may be out of luck.

i think getjar is made by developers & the facebook app on the facebook site, i guess is written by facebook!

Also, in the current facebook help section, it states that non android smartphones should go to getjar! Also there is the facebook for anyphone as said here:-

Surely you just need to follow the instructions in the link you posted from Facebook, which you will only be able to do when you actually get the phone.

but i been told by other website that the facebook link don't support java no more & i'm wondering if others like getjar are safe!

But the link explicitly states:

Please note: this app only works on Java handsets.

If you really are that worried about whether a download is 'safe' or not, then I would suggest not attempting to use an app, but just bookmark Facebook in your browser.
