    Almost perfect

    I think the concept and execution of this application is top notch, but there is one problem that bothers me greatly. On Windows Mobile at least.
    The pictures downloaded from facebook are saved into \Application Data\Vringo Facebook\Pictures
    This is on the root of the device, and my phone like most other phones, has a very limited amount of internal memory, all my other programs are installed to, and save application data into my storage card. I would like to see this option. All the hacks on Windows Mobile have to be stored on the device root, so space is very limited.

    I cant even get a pin, and my contacts wont appear in the Vringo screen....
    Needs a lot of work..

    The concept is awesome and I was pretty excited when I read about it. But, sadly after installing it I can see that it still needed some work.

    On my 8330 the pictures were way too small. They were almost impossible to see unless the contact took an up close headshot. No options either to change the behavior.

    But the biggest problem is the lag it causes. Incoming calls would sometimes pull up the loading symbol and show a Vringo screen for 2-3 seconds with the small picture you couldn't see, then go to your normal screen.

    After uninstalling it, I noticed a huge speed increase again. If I had to say one good thing, atleast when you uninstall it it keeps the pictures for your contacts (even though they are still horribly small and hard to see).

    For blackberrry Pearl it still downloads version 0.9 and not version 1.0, which doesnt have native contact list support.

    The app won't load for me on facebook. I've tried it on my computer and several others with different browsers.

    Kiley-
    Yes, you can easily uninstall the application just like you can uninstall any other programs installed on your phone.

    In order for the Vringo application to sync with your Facebook account it must be connected to the internet and therefore you may incur some costs there.
