    Not sure whether you're aware, but m.facebook.com is hanging around for a while, where while == a year at least, probably more than that. :) It definitely was before iphone.facebook.com.

    That, and it works just fine with the built-in browser. Been using it for quite a while.

    The built-in browser displays (renders) the site even a bit better.

    Gotta agree with the others here that is really old news, actually I am pretty sure it was a part of my service providers custom software job when I got the e71 just a month after the Danish launch of the phone.

    thx for the tip guys, I guess old habits die hard, I thought "past tence" that Opera Mini's mobile facebook version rocks in terms of essential facebook info, speed and little amount of data used. I gave the iphone.facebook site a try and it definitely renders better. Would you guys recommend the mobile version of facebook on Opera mini or the Iphone version for someone like me with a limited dataplan?

    Mobile version on Opera mini if you are trying to save data costs, without question,

    I remember using m.facebook.com on my e61; at first it was exclusive to people on the cingular (before it was At&t) def old news...

    Update: I'd say the latest version of Skyfire browser offers more appealing facebook experience using the site iphone.facebook.com than the built in browser and opera mini.

    So if I'd rank the browsers visiting the facebook:
    1) Opera mini (fastest access, essential information, simple mobile version, low datacosts, less appealing experience)
    2) Skyfire version 1.10 (fast access, more appealing facebook experience, similar datacosts as the built in)
    3) Built on (takes a little more time to access page, mobile version works good, iphone.facebook.com not as appealing as Skyfire's. The built in S60 browser uses almost the same data amount as Skyfire.

    So for me winner in keeping low datacosts, fast facebook access, simple interface (mobile version) then go for Opera Mini
    Best, or most "appealing" facebook experience on the E71 when using a browser to access FB I'd gp for Skyfire logging in via iphone.facebook.com
