So - i figured out the Facebook "sync" issue I was having and just wanted to share in case anyone else was having a similar issue ... basically after you link your contact card to your facebook account, you can go to the people/favorites tab and select view all contacts, then scroll two tabs over from there to the facebook tab which is called Updates and Events, from there you can select to link all contacts and save pix that Facebook matches on your facebook and contacts phonebook. Next thing - edit the data connection from the facebook screen to data always on. Basically, after a few hours/overnight, all my contacts pix (200 matches) were finally linked and their status's and my events now show on that facebook screen. hope this helps someone else
