Steve over at AllAboutSymbian was the first one to catch the release. Apparently its a Web Runtime widget, so its a tiny bit sluggish, but its official, has a ton of features, and its free, so its definitely worth checking out.

    What an awesome free application for the Nokia 5800XM. Definitely the best Facebook application I've seen to date. Very impressive, and not sluggish in any way.

    Good post CJ.
