So is there any advantage to having the Messenger app anymore? If it's baked in, I guess not... anything I'll be missing?
Well the same public sank billions into FB before fully checking it's financials
BS. Are you kidding me? What a joke. What's the point in having a MOBILE app when you cant download photos to a MOBILE device! Mo' Fo's!!!!!!
Just hold your finger on the photo like a web page image, you can save that way as normal.
Yeah, you can. Just click on the photo and then hold it down again, the button comes up as save photo. Right there, it saves the photo into the camera roll.
Finally it is usable in some fashion.
Hopefully it will prove to also be more stable and less buggy in general.
While the performance certainly was terrible, what usually made me want to throw my phone was running into all the bugs and crashes.
Now that they have performance fixed (and hopefully stability/bugs) maybe future releases will add better controls (privacy, accounts settings, timeline pics, etc...)

whole different ball game. API utilization > HTML5 > stone age engineering > Flash
We shouldn't skirt the importance of advertising money in this release. Facebook has been having trouble generating substantial advertising revenue on the mobile platform, making a redesign more urgent. I'm curious as to how they've changed their application in order to help garner more income for the company and stockholders. 
It appears you can press and hold on the photo to bring up that option. I actually like this because it is consistent if you were to do that within mobile Safari.
Am not sure if he was joking but i can confirm that i can download photos on my updated facebook.
Somehow the ability to "Share" has STILL been overlooked.
They just can't seem to get there all the way to the field goal! What's up with that?

You can still do this. Just open the photo and press and hold down your finger on the photo.
