How to import your Facebook's Phonebook to your cellphone ?
Have you ever wanted to import your Facebook's phonebook to your cellphone? Facebook's API doesn't allow any application to do it, but we figured out an easy way to import your phonebook to your cellphone with safety while respecting Facebook's Terms of Service.
Download and install the latest version of Opera Mini.
Open Opera Mini and go to http://m.facebook.com/friends.php
Login and click on Phonebook.
You can see the list of your friends and their numbers. Save as many pages as you have in your phonebook through Menu > Tools > Save Page. It doesn't matter where you save your pages; Opera Mini will always find a way to open it.
When you want to call a friend, just open the saved pages by starting Opera Mini, scroll down to the bottom and click on pages from the "Saved Pages" section. Also, as you've saved the pages, you won't have to pay for data usage! 
To call a friend, search for his/her name through Menu > Tools > Find in Page and click on his/her phone number to call him/her.
I hope some of you find this helpful! If you have any suggestions to improve this process, please share them below.

Opera Mini is not the fastest application to launch. Imagine having to open it everytime I want to call someone. No way!
Chances are big that if you navigate throught facebook mobile with the default browser of your phone it will offer an option to save the numbers (one by one) on your phone contacts.
