1. Symabook is an application developed to access Facebook.
2. It’s the first (and only) native Symbian application at the moment dedicated to Facebooking. Previously, it’s available for S60 touch only. Now for non-touch.
3. The strength of Symabook is it’s UI. It doesnt follow standard S60 UI at all.
4. The UI is graphically appealing. Where menus and options are presented differently.
5. In this early test version, the developer decided not to put a lot of functions into it. They are rather basic Facebook stuff like Status Update, Friends, and Profile.
6. In terms of usability, currently, it’s not very stable. For example, if you click the menus a few times, Symabook will halt. And brings down the system. I mean, it makes the phone freezes. Have to take the battery out. This happened a few times during my test.
7. Designwise, I kinda like the way Symabook works. It has kinetic scrolling to view long list, photos are rendered clearly, and it’s fast.
8. The UI is one of a kind. Not to say it’s bad or good but it’s different and pretty easy to use once you disassociate it from your normal S60 UI.
9. The information displayed looked like ”floating” on the screen. I dont know how to put it on words but ”floating” is close 
10. Have you tested Symabook yet? What do you think? Is it better than the S60 Facebook Widget?
