Basically, if you have a Java-enabled phone, you can get a Facebook app now (…and my iPad can’t?). It might be dumbed down a little but you can still easily keep track of your News Feed, Inbox, Photos, Wall and more by just downloading the app from m.facebook.com. Facebook has even partnered up with some carriers around the world to give people free use for 90 days.
It’s pretty smart to get people addicted to Facebook before they even get a smartphone. It means they’ll be addicted to Facebook before anything else on the web. Like a little gateway drug but for more Facebook. Your move, Google+. [Facebook]

Will check this out, hoping for the best!

http://facebook.com/home.php?m2w
link and that loads up the desktop site on my phone. It’s a bit fidgety, but better than touch and m (or the android app)
