Help Calendar Sync with Facebook

Hello,

Just got the Droid RAZR, so far so good :)

One thing I'm not having a problem with, is the calendar is NOT syncing with my facebook events (birthdays etc.) My previous phone (HTC Incredible) did this automatically after syncing my facebook account to my phone. When I go under "Settings" and click "Accounts", the "Facebook" category only has a sync option for "Contacts" but not for my calendar.

It's not of up-most importance, but rather annoying. The facebook app doesn't tell me when someone's birthday is for whatever reason.

Other than that, the phone seems to be great, pretty fast :thumbup: It's also my first 4G LTE phone, and haven't had a chance to use the 4G yet. No 4G at my house, but there is where I work ;)
 
Alright, I found that I export facebook calendars and birthdays via URL while playing around on facebook. One question: does this need to be done again and again everytime there are new events?

Edit: also regarding Facebook, my contacts doesnt seem to sync to Facebook. I can get Facebook friends to go into my contacts, but back on my HTC Incredible, it would link right to their profile pictures which was nice.
 
This is a little bit longer process on the razr than the incredible. I don't know why, just that in order to do it you have to import your Facebook contacts then manually link them to your regular contacts. You do this by editing the Facebook contact for the party, hit the menu button and click, "join" then select the regular contact from the list that you want to link with. It sucks Motorola hasn't gotten it together enough to catch up with HTC's software.
