1. Does these apps cause severe battery drain, can this be fixed.

2. If i Download them, I do not want it to sync(add or change) my contacts, is there a way to keep this out of my phone except for notifications..

3. If I want to delete these apps will pics and things still be on phone. THANKS

I am a new DX user, coming over from a BB Bold 9650, and I was really shocked that all of my Twitter and FB contacts were dumped into my address book. What I did was delete my FB and Twitter accounts on the phone, under "Accounts" and, installed Tweetcaster.

Tweetcaster allows status updates to FB too. I don't know if you are looking for a great FB app, because I don't think that there is one out there.

I did lose the contact pictures from FB and Twitter, but that is not important to me.

Dunno if that helps, but that is what I am doing now.

I have noticed that all my contacts from Facebook and Twitter were dropped into my phone book and I wasn't to happy about that. I just change it so I don't see them in my address book. So I am a happy camper for now.

Using FB through the browser works for me. I like that better than the Blur app or the FB app. I keep the Blur Social Networking app running but I still manage most Facebook stuff through the browser.

How do you change it so you do not see them?
