What is the best way at access facebook on an android phone?

Scherzo · Mar 13, 2011

Hi,

Currently, on my phone, I have 4 options. I can use the stock facebook app, go to touch.facebook.com, go to m.facebook.com or go to the full site, facebook.com.

There are pros and cons for using each of these.
Which do you use and why?

I think the best one is on Friend Stream, but that is exclusive to HTC users (as far as I know), and it does lack some features, so I also use the Facebook app.

On my previous Android handset, I always used the Facebook app as it worked better than any of the mobile websites. Plus it has Facebook chat which cannot be access on Facebook mobile or touch

Facebook app is nice, but for quick updates I like the friends/facebook widget that Launcher Pro has. I imagine it's very similar to the friends stream on phones with the sense UI.

Launcher Pro Plus has similar widgets to Friendstream, plus a dedicated Facebook one. That's what I use for most things, and for the one or two things you can't do with it I use the mobile site. The app is terrible, and the notifications from it are always delayed, so I don't use it anymore, and instead I have Facebook set to mail my notifications to my gMail account, and thanks to gMail's push notifications I get them almost instantly.

I almost always use the browser on the full site. The Facebook app is just too limited (no videos, etc.), and it doesn't show me everything from my feed that I see on the full site, for some reason.
