Are you syncing your facebook contact information with your iPhone contacts?  It might be very helpful; in addition to adding pictures to each of your contacts, it will sync their birthdays and their facebook URL's to their contact information.  Additional email addresses and phone numbers will also be added to your iPhone contacts.

Here's how you do it!

In the facebook app, tap the menu-button in the upper left hand corner of the screen, just above the "status" button.
A menu should slide out, allowing you to select "Friends".
Once your friends-list opens up, choose the action-button in the upper right-hand corner.
Choose "Sync Contacts" and you'll be taken to a screen with a couple of different options...

Turn on "Syncing," and if you want to replace the photos you have for your existing iPhone contacts, also turn on "Replace Photos".
You'll be asked to confirm that you want to add facebook information to existing contacts.
Voila!  You're done!  Your information will sync, and from here on, facebook will help keep your contacts up-to-date.
