Review: BlackBerry 9670 Style

Form Basics Extras Video Wrap-Up Comments 2

Menus Calls/Contacts Messaging Social Networking

The Style comes with official Facebook, MySpace and Twitter applications pre-installed. Each works well enough of its own accord to keep users in touch with their circles of friends, family and colleagues. All the social networks report new messages to the notification feature of BB6, which displays the number of unread messages at the top of the home screen. The social networking apps are also integrated into the contact app and messaging functions. Need to call a Facebook friend, but don't have their number in your BlackBerry contacts? The number is available in the Facebook app (if the person has posted it on Facebook).

Alternatives are available in BlackBerry App World if you don't like the way the official apps integrate with BB6.

There is also a Social Feeds application that streams status updates and posts from Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and user-defined RSS feeds. If you'd like to consume all your social networking in one spot, this app lets you do it.
