Evo and Facebook

[crimepays]

I will be (hopefully) getting my Evo this weekend, and was wondering about the integration of facebook with the Evo. I downloaded the user guide pdf from HTC's website, and saw that the contacts show a green icon that lists the "missed" calls or FB updates.

My questions:
a) Is there a way to erase all of the notifications from one contact at once? (P. 43 of user guide)

b) Does the facebook info only sync with contacts if you use the method of adding a facebook account during the configuration of the phone?
(social networking p. 35 of user guide)

c) Also, does the default options support 'push'? I know it would be harder on battery life, but just curious.


I hope those questions are clear. I looked over a related topic, but it was regarding battery life, and not really these questions.

Thanks

FB app is a bit more responsive and friendly. But it has a few bugs of its own.

Coming from Winmo, the app could definitely be 10x worse, but most of the time, when you click on things in the app it send you to the web anyway. lol.

In the FB app (not friend stream or bloo)
inbox-> menu-> compose

I have become very fond of bloo. It doesn't seem to be detrimental to my battery life, and notifications come through swiftly. The one drawback is that because it is a 3rd party app, you are unable to send messages, you have to use the native FB app for that.
