The word is that now Nokia E71 and Nokia E72 handset owners can now enjoy Facebook and the long awaiting Facebook client for the Nokia E71 and Nokia E72 is now available for download reports an article over on Nokia mobile blog.

Nokia smartphones with touch screens have been able to enjoy Facebook via their own application for quite some time, however third edition mobile phones were relegated to using the rather pointless Facebook mobile website.

But they say the new Facebook client for the Nokia E71 and Nokia E72 is quite cool and gives the user the ability to read statistics, update your status, send messages, add friends, upload and browse images, and all the usual stuff associated with Facebook.

So if you are an owner of the Nokia E71 or Nokia E72 mobile handsets go grab the free Facebook application from the Nokia Ovi Store, and have some networking fun.
