Where's my Facebook app and why do I need App World?

am not happy. Today I turned on my Blackberry Curve and found my Facebook app had mysteriously disappeared. So I went to my browser and got the download link for the Facebook app, and tried to download it.<br><br>However, I ended up on a screen telling me I had to download Blackberry App World. So I did. Then I located Facebook and tried again to download, but ended up in yet another screen. This one said I had to sign up for a Blackberry ID.<br><br>So I tried to do that. It arbitrarily assigned my own name and email as my username and login ... But when I click Sign Up, it keeps telling me that I need a username of three characters or more!<br><br>My name is way more than three characters and I had no choice in its use as my username, anyhow.<br><br>What is this Blackberry App World and why do I suddenly need it to get my FREE download of the Facebook app? And how the hell am I supposed to use App World if it won't let me sign up because it dislikes the username App World itself assigned me?<br><br>I want my Facebook back! And I think this absurdly complicated new system sucks.<br><br>GMA<br>

Sorry for the horrible formatting! I copy/pasted from my email to tech support, hoping to get input here, too. I didn't know it would make such a mess.
