FroYo FaceBook Sync?

yea it's there..but when you select it, it gives you the contacts that you already have. i'm guessing that you have to actually sync all the facebook friends to your contacts, then go back in and join the contacts to you want to sync..seems like a lot of trouble considering if you have a lot of friends it'll clog up your contact/people app..currently i have 352 contacts..don't need that to sky rocket to 2000+ ya feel meh????

Most of mine Sync'd automatically. Those that didn't I "Joined." The trick is this. If you want them to auto sync, your contact name needs to be the same as their Facebook name. For example, if you have a contact name "Mom" and your mom is on FB, unless you join the contacts, it will not sync. So if you "Mom" contact isn't "Mom" on FB, you must join them. However, if your "Mom" is called Sue on Facebook, then change your contact to Sue WhateverLastname, and it should auto sync.

Froyo and facebook is a $hitty combination.
what makes you say that?
Is any of this possible on 1.6? Would love to have all the pics connected.
you should have no problems with 1.6 although you may be using the "people" app instead of a "contacts" app

also..this is froyo 2.2..not 1.6
