Facebook will Import your Phone Memory, Contacts, and Address Book if you Upload their Facebook App to your Smart Phone. When I loaded the Facebook App into my Blackberry, my 600+ Contacts including Telephone Numbers were Imported by Facebook.

@LynnMonroeTV Hi, Lynn. Whenever you need something from Facebook (or Twitter or YouTube or Google+ etc.) They Take it Away! This Week, YouTube did away with "Friends" :(

Fred, I had an update of fb on my bb yesterday and the agreement says if I click agree it will import my contacts to fb. There is no way to get the fb app on your bb unless you agree to this. So, I am thinking of agreeing and then going to remove them as you state in your youtube video, however, when I look at my fb page there is no "edit friends" under the account setting. Fb must have changed this. So, how does one do this at this point? Thanks.

@christine3881 How to Edit Friends on Facebook. Hi, Christine. I am just now seeing your question in my inbox... Last week, Facebook put all of the friends onto lists. I am trying to find a simple answer, but for now I suggest the you click the Help Button at the bottom right of Facebook Page. Type "Edit Friends" into the Box, or Type "Remove Friends" into the Box. Look for solution there. *** When I get a clear answer, I will reply to you again. Thanks, Fred.

Hi Fred,

Thanks for your reply. What you said did not work here. I cannot even find a phone number listing for the imports.

I did, however, discover that one can set the options on the BB to not allow fb to synch.
