Or would I end up with two progam icons that look identical. Probably best to move the current one to a temp folder. Then I wouldn't know if it would have done it right though. What a dilema.

The older Facebook was installed in ROM on my HTC Imagio too. It didn't prompt me for a newer version on Marketplace, so I just went to the file and chose 'Install'. It was smart enough to do just what you said above. It removed the old icon (which I had moved into a sub-folder) and it put the new icon in the default location. So there's only a single icon and it starts the newer version.

Well I was almost that succesful. In the first place the system didn't think I needed a new copy of MarketPlace, maybe because that too was in ROM. That resulted in my not getting the SD card option. It did install 'a new' version from the MP, removed the existing icon, which was in a Apps folder (which is where it was out of the box) and created a nice new icon in the root of the Apps panel (Start). I was not fortunate enough to get 1.2 though. My fresh copy is v1.1.0.17. Better than I had but not the latest as advertised in MP.

It's what I have always loved about PocketPC, Windows Moble, etc, the consistancy of experience. Hopefully WinPhone 7 Series will correct some of the uneccesary adventure.

Seems like Marketplace's new version is rolling out rather slowly - my Touch Pro 2 still has the old non-SD version, and thus my facebook is still ROM stock. Hopefully the new version of FB will fix some annoying sync problems the old one had, namely infinite loops of updating, and huge gaps between Today's sync and the last successful sync (e.g., 1 hour ago -> 12 days ago).

Jon.

There was some discussion of this on another forum. In fact, it seems to be the new version, but with the wrong version number in the About box. When I read that, I looked at mine and, sure enough, I have the 'Like' feature now even though it shows the same version number as yours.

Marketplace is such a big pile of FAIL in so many respects.

For me, it appeared on Marketplace, but because it was installed, it said "Installed" instead of "Download". So I had to uninstall it (I couldn't remember if it came with the phone or I downloaded it myself). When I installed it, it posted that I installed "Facebook for Windows Mobile" on my wall.

Anyway, addresses a few of my major issues with the original. I can access comments now. I still wish it had a setting for "update on start" and "update on feed source change" or even a "live" setting. But 1.2 is a big improvement. Still don't know if it'll actually upload the videos though.

Oh, and it still doesn't allow you to delete wall posts or comments you decide you wish you hadn't posted (as far as I can tell).

I had something from the marketplace - not sure if it was 1.007 or 1.1 or whatever, but yeah, MP only looks at apps it installed, not what is on your device.
