I got my Black Desire and it's time to mess around

Hi Guys...I got my Desire at long last last night. I'm at work and it's fully charged and I should have a little time to tinker with it.

When i turned the phone on for the first time this morning, it got me to setup my facebook and google account. All went well and it sync properly.

Now when i go to my Phonebook....i still everyone on my facebook and I can't remove them....:thinking:

I would like to maintain my contacts in a nicer way as my fb account has tons of people I do not know due to me adding random people for games :p

Is there a way I can select which contact to sync over or if this is not possible to turn it off completely but still have Friendstream working?

Thanks in advance guys...;)
 
Go to the phonebook>menu>view>uncheck facebook

this will get rid of all your facebook contacts in your phonebook, but if you still want to check their info etc, you can always go to phonebook>online directories (world looking thing)>facebook

Thanks...will give this a try once i get out of training :).

Any one knows if there is a touch screen alternative to move back a screen instead of pressing the back button?

Hmm...doesn't work when I go to my phone book > menu all i see are people, call history, speed dial, phone settings and tips.

I get that option under People though but that doesn't clear my phonebook :S

*edit*
Basically, I can customize People to show only the contacts from which Groups I want, IE Sim, Phone and so on

But I want to do this on the Phonebook, which doesn't seem to have the View Option :(
