            Hi Everyone,

            It was hard to get it for my SE Vivaz Pro Symbian S60V5 based phone (I know... I should have waited and get an android based one...), I went to m.facebook.com and it kept sending me to the mobile version of the website, tried Getjar and the other websites and same result, I was not able to find the right place to get it.

            I went to "d.facebook.com/download" from my phone browser and I finally got it installed, I used to have Snaptu and as all of you are aware it will be the same thing, it works. Don´t try to access from your PC because it won't work, only d.facebook.com/install, no http or anything, only d.facebook.com/install and it will download and intall it for you. No certificate errors or nothing, it went smooth and now is up and running. I hope this is useful for all of you who have been trying.

            Greetings from El Salvador!

                        Maybe because it is for dumb phones as the title says? :D

                                  Snaptu or whatever you guys call it or not, you can't say that this isn't an awesome step up for people with feature phones.
