you need a jail broken iphone... these are the steps:
1. use Cycorder to record your video
2. use Finder to move your video out of the Media Folder
3. use Finder and attach the *.mov to an email.
4. send it to video@facebook.com

Video Upload iPhone -> FB working


    

      Hello,

to upload video on Facebook it is even easier, than I thought. You just send an email from your cell phone with video file attached to YOUR PERSONALIZED UPLOAD facebook email address. Here are the full instructions:


A: Get Personalized Facebook Upload Email Address  (you do this only once)

    

  1. On your PC login to your facebook account
    2. 

  2. Visit http://www.facebook.com/mobile/
    3. 

  3. On the left side you see "Upload Photos via Email" and your personalized email XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX@m.facebook.com
    4. 

  4. On your iPhone go to Contacts, Add new contact (by clicking the "+" symbol on right). Name it "Upload Facebook" and set its email to "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX@m.facebook.com" - your personalized facebook upload email address.
    5. 



B: How to upload video (once you have set your Personalized Upload Address)

    

  1. Record your video (e.g. by Cycorder)
    2. 

  2. Locate the video file on your iPhone (for example by iFile)
    3. 

  3. Attach this video file to an email (in iFile by clicking "edit" on top right, selecting video file and clicking the envelope button at the bottom"). >> iPHONE 3GS users: Instead of steps 2-3 you just locate the video in Camera roll and choose "email video"
    4. 

  4. As Sender choose "Upload Facebook" contact, you have already created.
    5. 

  5. Set email subject (will be used as the caption of your photo or video).
    6. 

  6. Send.
    7. 



Enjoy ;-)

video upload from iphone 3G no longer possible


    

      looks like this is no longer possible  when uploading videos you receive an email saying:
Sorry, we cannot support uploads sent via email. Upload photos from your iPhone with our free application, Facebook for iPhone:
