Ronen Halevy wrote on berryreview that One of his secret agents just let him know that RIM is scheduled to launch Facebook 1.6 this Thursday. The exact launch is set for May 28th at 5pm EST from what he is hearing but RIM has been known to push these dates back. On the other hand this is the official date that they have already announced to their partners…

New features include:

• Feed support – view and comment on friends status updates and highlights
• Profile and wall viewing – view and comment on friends’ profiles and wall updates
• Improved photo viewing – view and comment on pictures
• Additional language support – (vague…)
