Research In Motion, (RIM) makers of the BlackBerry Smartphone, and Facebook are joining forces. A specially modified version of Facebook is now available for Blackberry users. This service, that is only available to T-Mobile subscribers, has been modified to take advantage of the Blackberry’s push-based architecture. In fact, this Facebook version is almost identical to its PC counterpart, which includes a whole slew of options, such as but not limited to image uploading, wall to wall messaging, poking, and more. 

“Facebook and RIM share a vision for enhanced mobile communications and social networking based on open, standards-based platforms and this has allowed us to produce a rich mobile application for Facebook users that leverages the push-based architecture, multimedia features and industry-leading usability of the BlackBerry solution.”
