I've tried to link contacts to Facebook but I can't seem to. I was only able to do it once. I click the contact, click the link button, click Facebook contact, click the person I want to link it to and press done, then it loads for a second and takes me back to the first contact page, with the same broken link icon at the top and it's unlinked. Am I missing something very basic, or is my phone totally busted? Please help - it's frustrating to have 35 duplicate contacts.

Thank you.
