however, do not automatically update your Facebook account on the web

done automatically using the credentials you entered in Contacts.
I want to access the contacts, calendar events, and tasks in my current desktop app, and then use the Synergy feature to access the same data on my phone
If you want to continue using a desktop app to store your contacts, calendar
events, and tasks—iCal and Address Book on the Mac, or desktop Outlook®
or Palm® Desktop by ACCESS on Windows—consider adopting this
solution.
Download and install a third-party application (sold separately) that can
sync your desktop app to Google. Your desktop app syncs with your Google
account, and then Synergy feature takes over to sync your Google account
with your phone.
