Do you use Facebook on your phone or PC more?

Since I've had a smartphone I've found that I use Facebook on my phone 90% of the time and only log in on my laptop if I'm already on my laptop at the time.

I find that I use the Facebook App much more now. It's much faster to check and easier. I'm even too lazy sometimes to walk over to my computer so I just quickly grab my iPhone out of my pocket to check it quickly.


Do you still check Facebook on your smartphone or PC more?

Phone...you get everything you can get on your laptop, including the desktop site, on your mobile!

I'm using the Nokia Lumia 800 which runs Windows Phone. This has FaceBook and Twitter for that matter deeply intergrated into the O.S. For example, Text messages also has contacts who are on Facebook chat on usable. And click on a contact, and you can view all their recent tweets and posts, as well as write on their wall. It means I haven't needed to downloads Windows phone's pretty basic Facebook app, or even visit the mobile web site. Also, all Facebook albums are available in your photo galleries.
A really cool smart phone platform.
So to answer, I use my phone a lot more.

The Facebook for Android app is slow and buggy, so i try to avoid using it most of the time.

^ this.

FFA is an appalling app. It finds it difficult to respond to my touches, and the messages and notifications are broke. If i ever use facebook on my phone, i go on the browser version which although has problems as well (like image sizes), it isn't half as bad as FFA.

PC all the way.

When I first got my iphone 4 I registered my phone with Facebook and was quite happy to text them my updates etc. It was only when i got my first bill from Three I realised that Three charge 25p per text to FB Grrrr. So since then I always use the FB app and camera+ for editing and uploading pics!

I noticed a drastic increase in performance when using the FB app on a Galaxy S2 compared to the HTC Desire. I wonder if the app is a bit of a resource hog.

I have a htc desire but now on a custom rom. I do not have the FB app installed at all as it was really unresponsive and I ended tapping on the screen to much and when it finally caught up I ended up "poking" someone!

I like not having the app, as when I leave my phone unattended no jokers are going to put a hilarious status via the app.

More on the PC than the phone, at work in the canteen if there is no one in there i will have a look on the phone, take my reader more these days so read that.

Still prefer a proper keyboard than a touch screen and the screen can be a bit too smal.
