Facebook may have slipped off the zeitgeist a little with that upstart Twitter nicking all the headlines, but it is still as vibrant a social community as ever it was. Naturally, there are loads of ways to interact with Facebook using your Nokia N97, from the official client to simple ways of updating your status line. Lets take a look at four of the best..

With it’s 3.5-inch touchscreen and full QWERTY keyboard, the Nokia N97 has to be one of the best social networking devices around. Facebook is all the rage, so make life easier by hooking it up to these latest apps from the Nokia Ovi Store.

If you have a recent-ish Nokia N97 you probably have this one already. The official Facebok app gives you access to your full profile, pictures, contacts and more. The N97 version also comes with a handy homescreen widget for displaying your friend’s updates and giving one-touch acess to the app.

One thing we didn’t mention in our review of voice-command app Vlingo [link] is that as well as dialling contacts and launching apps you can also update your Facebook status. Just hold down the “Hold and Speak” button and say “Facebook status is updating this with voice alone” and your status line will change to “[your name] is updating this with voice alone”. Pretty flash, no?

Location-aware social networking app Mobnotes lets you tag a map with ‘pushpin’ notes for you and your friends to refer to. The mobile version also lets you update your Facebook wall with comments and links to Mobnotes content.
