Not having had an iphone I don't know what the features it provides.  I use this facebook app but predominantly use use Tweetdeck for Android.

What does the Facebook app I listed miss that the iphone one provides?  I didn't know I was missing anything ;-)

It's fairly limited compared to the iPhone version. I personally haven't found one that is of the same standard as the iPhone app.

use the web-browser on the phone to browse their mobile website, that is better than the facebook android app.

Yeah just use the main facebook app. I don't like Tweetdeck as it doesn't have useful widgets.

What's wrong with the offical Android Facebook app? it got an update recently and now supports a lot more features including chat.

Worst thing about the latest Android FB app is that in chat, going offline doesn't actually work. Pretty lame when all I want to is check the news feed without being hassled by friends wanting to chat.
