Hey guys,
I've been bitten considerably by the Facebook bug, and now Twitter too, and I want a way of keeping up to date on my phone.
I'm using a Nokia 3120c right now which I love, but its too basic to handle this stuff.
I've seen recently that quite a few SE's have had Facebook integrated into the main home screen, which is fantastic! But I'm curious if theres a phone, smartphone I'm guessing, that will let me have Facebook and Twitter functionality, such as seeing status updates, posting pictures, seeing other peoples pictures etc, but quickly, simply and easily.
A phone that integrates it into the phones normal usage, i.e. not an app you have to open each time you want to see updates. Ideally, I'd like a phone that will display updates on the home screen as they happen, so I don't have to keep checking them.
Any suggestions?

Funny that, I thought BlackBerry to myself last night, can't believe I forgot it lol. Thing is do either the BlackBerry's or the INQ 1 support Twitter too? Cause if not I may as well go for an SE with built in Facebook.

I think so, but where I live doesn't have many Wi-Fi hotspots !
Nanu and other BB experts are better to ask !

I'm seriously considering the 8900 Curve now, as I loved my old Blackberry when I used to have it, but I'm curious, is the processor and RAM increased considerably compared to the Curve 8300/8310? Because when mine had too many messages it used to lock up or slow right down and then freeze?

Agreed - at the moment the iPhone has great apps for Facebook and Twitter, the only real snag is they don't update automatically on the homescreen when they're not running. But with iPhone OS 3 supporting push notifications, that's only going to be a matter of weeks away.

NOKIA N97 it has Facebook in the Homescreen and updates automaticaly, theres also the S60 Twitter app called Gravity, it also updates automaticaly, has all your pics in your phone sitting in a little bar ready to be uploaded etc.... You will have to boot up the app in the beginning but after that you can be on both Facebook and Twitter without having to close the apps.
EDIT: Just found out the NOKIA N86 8MP also has Facebook in Stand by just like N97, and obviously Gravity as well all in a nice Multimedia imaging Smartphone, iPhone and BB are most definetly NOT the only ones. With the S60s you also have MSN, and others with Nokia Messaging and System7, run all of them in the background with no problem, im pretty sure EVERY S60v3 and V5 including N82, N95-8gb, N81 etc. . .will have Facebook app soon, since they already have Twitter.
