The Nokia Lumia 800 is a new smartphone that offers a host of great connectivity options that enable users to take advantage of a number of great internet features. One area of this phone which benefits from the excellent connectivity is social networking. The majority of phone users have at least one social networking account and Facebook is the service that most people will use regularly. A new update is due to be introduced to the Windows Facebook application that will help it to deliver more features and functionality.

Details of the new Facebook update for the Nokia Lumia 800 were posted on the social networking site. Version 2.5 of the software will include a number of new features to help the service to deliver an experience similar to what users expect from using the full Facebook software on a PC or a laptop. A statement released by the Facebook team stated, "the team has been working hard over the past few weeks on building the next version of Facebook for Windows Phone, and as we're getting close to release". Although we have not been given exact details of when the update will be released we do know some of the new features that it will boast. One of the main changes that will be introduced will be threaded messages for group and single contact interaction. This basically means that the software will display both sides of the conversation on screen in chronological order. This is instead of simply viewing the last message that had been sent.

A number of other great features will be available on Facebook for the Nokia Lumia 800 thanks to the new update. Full geo tagging will be enabled which means that any material posted by the user can have a geographical location attached to it so friends can see where the material was posted from. This is perfect if you are enjoying your summer holidays but perhaps not as useful if you are sitting on your sofa at home. In version 2.5 of the software users can choose to "like" comments that other users leave on their posts and pictures. Instead of logging into the full internet site to delete content from your wall users will now be able to use the application to perform this task, a feature that was missing from earlier versions of the software. The other big change that the update will deliver will be the ability to view and add active content to posts. This will mean that video and audio files can easily be accessed form the Lumia 800.

Facebook 2.5 for the Nokia Lumia 800 certainly includes some impressive features that will appeal to the majority of consumers who use the site on a regular basis. The ability to view threaded conversation is a real attraction while the new geo tagging features and active content also add appeal to the software.
