Facebook has turned into a social networking phenomenon and now you can stay in touch with all of your Facebook buddies right on your iPhone 3G and a whole lot more.

Here’s a list of what you can do with Facebook on your iPhone 3G:

1. Start a conversation.

2. Upload your pics or look at your friend’s pics.

3. Find a phone number.

4. Write on your friend’s wall.

5. See full profiles.

6. Hold your finger on a photo and a photo tag will appear.

The Facebook interface is broken down into 5 buttons you can click on:

Home
Profile
Friends
Chat
Inbox

The Home tab lets you see your friend’s updates and your own. The Profile button lets you see your profile along with your Wall, Mini-Feed, Photos and personal information. The Friends button lets you see a list of friends with their pics. You can click a friend’s name to see their profile.

The Chat tab lets you see the friends that you might want to have a conversation with. Some will be available and others might appear idle depending on what they are doing. The Inbox button lets you easily access your Facebook messages.

Using Facebook on the iPhone 3G is easy and painless. For Facebook junkies this app is heaven sent!
