I’m going to tell Mark why is not good to use Facebook’s contact list as the main contact app.

My Facebook account got unilaterally disabled by Facebook main office by mistake. I lost all my contacts to whom I didn’t have backup. I had to set up a new account and start from zero. I learnt with this that you can trust only what you own and control 100%.

So please never use Facebook as your main contact list and do backup every single contact into your iPhone’s, Itouch’s or main computer’s contact app.

Thanks for Reading this. Xavier

FriendSync will download and set your Contact’s images from Facebook, so when your friends call their images show up on your iPhone.

Tenían un poco de ventaja con su aplicación en red del año pasado, la cual fue en su momento el mejor ejemplo de un sitio web específico de iPhone. La aplicación del nuevo iPhone fue creada por el mismo individuo Joe Hewitt e incluye una integración más profunda con el teléfono. Presione el nombre de un amigo y llámelo. O utilice la aplicación de chat de Facebook incluida y omita dichos mensajes de texto. Un gran problema con Facebook en el iPhone – es que toma mucho tiempo en cargarse y la aplicación funciona lentamente, igual que la versión en red. [...]

Quick update – FB released a new version of their app, which has a number of improvements. Chief among the improvements… the wall!

I leave you to celebrate.

Yeah, the Facebook iPhone app totally ruins the contacts list. I prefer to use it more as it is but a fact more convenient and interactive. To those who haven’t had this app until this time, get it now. Don’t be stagnant on using the contact list. There’s more that’s worthwhile!

Great app. Not got Facebook chat to work yet. While it is better in a lot of ways to the iPhone Facebook web app, why take out the wall? It is still the most common method people use to contact each other on Facebook. Another thing is the applications. In a way I am glad these have been omitted, because most are just annoying and ruin the whole experience, but I wish I was given the choice to have the applications available that I use a lot. Obviously that would require work from both Facebook and the developers of the applications.

Twitter should watch out though. Facebook mobile is becoming a lot more popular. 100% of my friends don’t use Twitter and use status updates. Everyone is using Facebook Mobile now. Twitter seems to be a lot bigger in the US, elsewhere in the world Facebook, MySpace and Bebo are still light years ahead in the amount of users. Why have Flickr for photos, YouTube for videos, Twitter for mini-blogs, Yahoo for email, MSN for chat when Facebook can do it all? Competition is good though.

It’s a very interesting idea and I think Mr Hendrickson could be quite right. The only issue is that they are many bugs with Facebook right. Once the application is corrected and tweaked, it could become a substitutable product.

It’s an interesting concept to use FB as a primary contacts list, but not nearly enough of my friends or clients have their numbers on there to use like that. For that matter, only one of my clients is even on FB at all. Add to this that I keep my contacts list loaded with additional information that isn’t on FB and has no place being put on there, and it’s just unacceptable for such a purpose.

Returning to FB being used for what FB was intended, what is an official FB app doing out there without any way of posting to someone’s wall? It could be argued that the wall was, and remains, their most core and important feature. Taking the wall out of an FB app is somewhat akin to taking the gas out of a car… now all it does is sit there.

I’ve been having problems with the Facebook App on my 3G iPhone.

It resets my iPhone if I try starting app more than once after turning it on. I have to turn off the phone, turn it back on and I can restart the app safely.
