Facebook - a good by-product
I've been using Facebook for a while now and I've just noticed an interesting by-product of using Facebook that can benefit Windows Mobile 6 users.
That is that it's a really easy way of collecting pictures for your contacts in your phone!
I simply save the profile picture my friends and contacts have to my PC and then I associate the picture with the contact in Outlook.
This also means that when I get an SMS/Text Message or an Email the contacts picture is shown on the email or text.

Well, I couldnt resist - all written and working:) Few issues thought - firstly facebook limits the number of calls you can make to about 15 a minute... this means it takes quite a while if you have alot of friends - going to try and get this increased though. Secondly I have had to run the app as an administrator - but it does work! - ill tidy it up and once I have the time increased Ill let the people who have emailed me test it! Cheers RossAnonymous

Fantastic idea! Only downside i see is most of my friends use ridiculous pictures as their profile pictures...guess i'll have to nag them to use something more sensible :-)Anonymous
