Facebook has proven to be immensely popular on smart phones: it's the most downloaded application of all time on the iPhone and probably holds the record on Android as well. But the user experience for so-called feature phones, which still make up the vast majority of cell phone usage worldwide, hasn't been as rich ?�users generally have relied on Facebook's lightweight m.facebook.com site, which gets the job done, but doesn't really have an 'app' feel. Today, that's changing. Facebook has just announced the launch of a new application for feature phones that was developed in conjunction with Snaptu. According to Facebook's announcement, the app will work across 2,500 device models from the likes of Nokia, Sony Ericsson, and LG. The application will include a home screen that looks similar to the one seen on the iPhone and Android, and Facebook notes that it also includes contact sync support and faster scrolling through status updates and photos.
