Facebook application

I would like to know how to get the Facebook application for my C510 phone. This application allows you to take a photo and upload it directly to Facebook. It is advertised here.

I updated my phone's software using the latest PC companion software but it said it was already up-to-date.

Thanks

Using your phone's browser, go to Getjar.com and see if you can download this, or a similar application from there.

I have installed a Facebook app from GetJar but I think it is a 3rd party app and so doesn't integrate with the firmware on my phone and so doesn't give the option of uploading a photo directly to Facebook. For this functionality I think I need the firmware update.

I think the problem may be that I have the Vodafone version of the firmware. Perhaps I need to debrand the phone and install the generic firmware. Having never done this I'm worried about bricking it.

You should be OK as long as you follow the instructions. Here's a couple of options for debranding:
