In "How to make a new call with Face Time", you say to "select the FaceTime icon from the contact's phonebook entry". My friend have an iPhone 4 too, but in my phonebook entry he (friend) doesn't have an icon called FaceTime. Could you tell me how to get this icon. Thank you for your attention. Jayharr
