maybe a stupid question but, how do you log in to facebook, so that it grabs your contacts on an n900.

i have tried through the "availability" button in the top menu, but that is for facebook chat and asks for a user name that cannot work (as my name has a space) and the email address cannot work either (as it is looking for xxxxxxx@facebook-chat.com).

so where am i going wrong?

cheers

have u added a new account in the voip and im accounts section in settings? if u add a jabber account, which I believe you can get your user name from facebook settings, (cant say exactly where as Im at work now) but then add that something like
blahblah@chat.facebook.com

Edit: I think account (top right) then account setting and I believe the user name...

so

username@chat.facebook.com?

You don't need to use jabber if your N900 has been updated to PR1.2. It has Facebook chat built in.

Sorry but facebook is a constant malfunction after malfunction after malfunction on the N900. I would have started a new thread but there is no "new topic" or "new thread" link on this page. Why is that? Such a simple thing that should be obvious and it is missing from this website. I don't have time to fish through your menus just to start a new topic. It should be obvious, simple and easy to activate.
Everytime I post on Facebok it is a race against time and me crossing my fingers that a malfunction will not occur while at the same time dealing with the constant wrong characters, missing spaces, delaying of what I just typed, zoom in and it acts as though I did not cuz I try to move the screen and I go off to some link that was there before I zoomed in. I mean every possible annoyance occurs that could possibly occur that can piss you off when using facebook on this N900.
If I post a pic and caption from my N900 on my lunch break I have to make sure it is a short sentence. Too many times I spend 8 minutes of my break time typing sh** and some sort of malfunction will occur erasing the last 8 minutes and sending me off to another page and I have not even touched the screen.
N900 and facebook barely works.

My facebook works.

And are you referring to facebrick or the website?

There's a new thread button. You are just to angry to find it.

You could get help if you calmed down too

I'm confused.
What facebook applet?

I'll just repeat what I said.
-Create username on facebook website
-Log out of facebook
-sign in with newly created username on facebook website
-sign into facebook chat on n900

That is what I did
