facebook sync not working

i installed the facebook app and it has my login info. when i go into settings to add the facebook sync it does not do anything. when i am in accounts and sync, i select add account, select facebook, and it takes me back one page. i've tried restarting the device after the initial install and that did not work. i hate not having contact pics, so it is really bugging me.

reintalling the app did not help either.

The facebook app on this phone does not sync with your contacts. It's strictly to view and post on facebook.

that is odd...it worked on a hacked together android os running from the memory card on top of winmo, but not on a device that uses it as the native os. brilliant. thanks cowhead.

I use syncmypix which is free and pretty useful... haven't really tried others though.
