The Facebook app for BlackBerry has been updated to version 1.5 on Wednesday, promising a host of new features to keep social networking fans connected with their friends.

The new version, which will be free for download from the new BlackBerry App World area will allow users to access and manage their Facebook contacts list and integrate it with their BlackBerry address book.

Callers from a user's Facebook address book will appear with their profile picture as the caller ID, whilst birthdays and events will also be integrated automatically into user's BlackBerry calendars.

Facebook messages and status updates will also be integrated with your BlackBerry device, with conversations appearing as an IM thread in the application and appearing in your BlackBerry message list.
