    Hey,

    I've had my Z10 since its launch in Canada and I love it to death - excellent phone (came from a Bold 9900). Anyways theres one thing I haven't been able to figure out yet... How do I get my contact list to have its pictures populated with their corresponding facebook pictures? I have my FB linked to my phone, and every contact on my phone that I also have on FB is "linked" under their contact profile, but it continues to just show the default silhouette.

    Is there a stupid step I'm missing, or option I've overlooked?

    Any help is appreciated - I'd rather not manually go through and add pictures.

    Thanks,

    PS. I love my dock my buddy who works for RIM hooked me up with

    I'm jealous. I want that dock now.

    Anyways, facebook pics...in the contact app, under settings (pull down top menu), near the bottom there's a check box to update with internet data. I think that's what you want.

    That box has been checked off since I've had my phone... no dice

    -Edit: checked off as in, turned on.

    Not sure. It seemed to do it by default for me.
    I know you can manually change it by tapping on the picture when you are in the contact's profile, but I'm not sure how to force it to do it.
    I thought you had a contact at BlackBerry. He can't help you with it?

    Yeah, I know I can manually change it, but that would take FAR too much effort to do for ~300 contacts.

    I already asked my friend, but he didn't seem sure lol.

    Just tried it, no dice... however I just rebooted the phone so maybe that will fix it. I also want to note that when I did that and went into my "Facebook" tab it said "no contacts" and when looking at any contacts under "All" there was no longer a facebook "link" to anyone.

    Strange but some contacts populated fine but others didn't. One of my regular BBM contacts is a silhouette even though his contact has his FB photo right there. But the other BBM contacts are fine.

    Once they update the OS to support it, it will be release for retail sale from what I gather. It works right now, but it won't rotate your screen if rotation lock is on and a few other minor bugs. I'd say it will be released to coincide with the next OS update.

    Oh, and as an update, after deleting my fb and re attaching it to my phone, i let it sit overnight with both Facebook and contact apps open, a few contacts had their pictures updated, but not many... I'd guess around 10% maybe... anyone else have suggestions?

    He works late nights so I rarely get to talk to him in depth much, but when I mentioned it he suggested pretty much the same things people have mentioned above, I'll ask him again next time I see him, but I figured I'd ask on here as well to see if anyone else had the same issue/found a fix.
