Sweet, if it works like it sounds like it works, should be pretty cool. And there's room to expand on that idea. ~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~

just signed up and hooked up most my phone book looks to be very cool ill update later see how it works next couple of days

Update*
well just tried it out its a cool idea but it opens a separate box shows the picture then the screen changes to normal so i think it would be better if it added the picture to the phone book like normal

Seems a little buggy...I'm having trouble syncing my phone numbers with my fb friends...I keep getting an error message. I just had a friend call me, and the picture didn't open up until after I answered. The app seems like a cool idea though.

This app isn't that bad. I don't really like the big black imposing background that comes with it. I personally think it'd be a lot better if it was just the image and a better general size of the image. However, a cool app and it worked like butter for me. Not to mention that I signed up in the afternoon and got the invite in the evening.

Have you tried to stop the app and restart it? it sounds like its looping. it obviously should never take that long just to connect. Could also be a wifi issue... can you try with wap?

How come the caller photo screen only comes up for a second then changes to the regular screen?

Right now we are displaying the picture at call time ourselves. Thats why on some blackberrys the native call screen comes up after the picture is displayed.
We are working with RIM to integrate more tightly with the contact list itself.
