FLO TV: More Baggage, Less Function

Imagine this- a company that has decided that its not enough for you to carry your mobile phone, GPS, Kindle and PMP device, but that you should add one more to the mix. And at $250 with an $8 monthly fee, FLO TV is acting like they don't remember that we're trying to dig ourselves out of an economic recession, not create a new one.

Android Trick: Remove Facebook Contact Photos

So, you've got your shiny new android phone and now you've linked all your Facebook contacts to your device.

At that pint you'll notice that your originally selected photo (not the one from Facebook) is showing. Tap the picture and then you'll have the option to use that photo, delete it or chose a different one from your gallery.
