Is there anyway to sync facebook's profile and picture to my contacts? HTC and Nexus One both have these features, I thought it is from Android platform itself, but I can't find it anywhere in Fascinate. Anyone?

Ah ha, found it. Once added facebook account to the phone, go Contacts -> menu button -> Get friends, there you can import all or selected facebook accounts to contacts.

@vexedgeneration :
don't use the facebook application, just add your facebook account from the phone book and then sync it and chose add friends (contacts -> menu -> add friends -> facebook)

@shell :
after syncing with facebook and chosing get friends, you can chose the friends you want to import into your phone book, you don't have to import everyone Happy

@all :

and after you get those friends you can simply merge FB contacts with gmail contacts and your original phone contacts into single profiles using (link contacts)

Amazing phone book!! this is my favorite feature by the way Happy

I can't seem to be able to merge facebook contacts with phone contacts. This means I got a whole bunch of duplicates in my phone book. Why can't i edit for example my FB contacts so that they also can contain phone numbers?

I too had that same problem but after unlinking my Facebook and re-adding it about 3 or 4 times, it finally worked.

Under settings>Accounts & sync>manage accounts I clicked on the FB account and removed it. Then I added it back and did the same steps a few times.

I was able to link facebook contacts with my phone contacts, but in some cases it kept the facebook profile name as the default name. How do I make the phone contact name the one that displays on my phone? For instance, I don't want to search for my dad by his actual name, I want to search for "Dad Cell". It worked fine for my mom when I linked her account. It seems rather arbitrary..

I figured out how to change the name from the facebook name to the actual contact name after you sunc with facebook. After you link your facebook people with your contacts you'll see that only the facebook names is what you can see, well if you go into the contact and click on menu (bottom left) you'll get a menu that comes up, click on the "mark as default" then another screen will come up and you pick which one you want to be displayed and then save. Done.
