With a new download and install, Facebook v1.5 is available now for the BlackBerry today.

On my Storm, I’m getting version 1.50.31, a pretty hefty 994 KB download (723KB on the 8900). RIM says this update is good for any BlackBerry running OS 4.2 and greater (none with a trackwheel). I’ve been using 1.5 on my 8900 for a few weeks.

I like having the Facebook calendar integrate with my onboard BlackBerry calendar, as well as integrate with my device Address Book.

Download the Facebook 1.5 from here on your PC by sending an email link to your BlackBerry. You can install via the PC at the same link with your BlackBerry connected via USB. On your BlackBerry browser, visit this link.
