Can't add synced FB contacts to phone contacts

[Love Divine]

Palm Pre broke, got an Evo, and will be trying out Android for a while. Here's my issue.

I just synced my Facebook contacts with my EVO. I then added them to the phone contacts list by going to menu on the people list, and checking "Facebook" under "View". My FB contacts now appear in the "People" app. However, my trouble lies in the messaging app.

I had gotten a txt from friend, and went to sync his number with his fb account. I tapped on his number. When I tried to "save to an existing contact", it won't give me the FB contact as an option. In fact, none of the FB contacts are listed when I try to do this. I had to manually make a new contact, then link that one with the existing FB contact. Why is it doing this? There's got to be some way to link the number straight with the FB contact...

Any help would be appreciated.

Pull up your contacts, press menu and go to view and you will have to select facebook contacts. That should fix your issue. I had the same issue.

Go to contacts, edit, and link to, select facebook and find friend on your fb list.
