What’s the best Facebook mobile app?

Ah, Facebook the ultimate time waster. We can’t get enough of it so many other companies are building Facebook apps for their own platforms. Truthfully though, not all apps are created equal. From a personal level I run Facebook both from my iPod touch and a Blackberry Storm — not mobile web versions of course, but the actual downloadable app. I haven’t run S60’s version yet.
Between the two, I’d like to think the iPod touch version is the best among the rest. This is due to the platform itself, adopting the famous haptic scrolling and huge buttons. But what the iPod / iPhone version severely lacks is the search feature for adding friends. Sure you can search through your friends list, but not outside your network. Bummer.
The Blackberry (Storm) Facebook app seems to have better integration, as it is more complete. The friends list feature is also more collapsed, allowing less data to be sent and thus faster loading times. There’s also a separate tab for adding new friends.
