YELLIX: See your friend’s Facebook photo and last status update when they call you

YELLIX is a pretty awesome idea, in theory. The application, which works with Android, RIM BlackBerry, Symbian or Windows Mobile, goes online when someone calls you, pairs the phone number of the person calling you to the phone number your friend has in their Facebook profile, and then displays their photo and last status update. I like it, but no one calls me, everyone uses SMS. I’d rather have an application that I install, turn on, give my Facebook credentials to, and then have it populate my address book. That would be awesome … if I still had a Facebook account. Anyway, check it out, I’m sure there are several of you who will find this useful.

    Since I stopped syncing with Outlook, I’ve been longing for an app similar to what you described, that would dial in to my Facebook account, match up the names/emails/numbers that I have stored in my phone already, and sync their photos.
