The only time I use facebook: For some reason my Nexus One comes pre-installed with Facebook and it can't be uninstalled without rooting (which for laziness sake I don't want to do). I don't have a Facebook account. The Facebook app periodically tries to authenticate and obviously can't. Instead of gracefully giving up (or allowing me to uninstall) it brings a Facebook login page to the foreground. So every day, two to three times a day, I have to exit out of Facebook which has given itself focus. To me this defines the Facebook experience and their focus on quality software. I dislike Facebook not for all their privacy concerns (which are annoying), but because I was always genuinely frustrated using the site.

Is that documented somewhere? I was completely unaware of that "feature" of the Nexus One (granted I use an iPhone anyway)

  This was most certainly not the case on the Nexus One that I'm using. Did gp get it from Google, or elsewhere? The Facebook for Android app was barely even out for most of the time the N1 was on the market, from what I remember...

    At least on the t-mobile nexus one, the latest pushed OS comes with FB pre-installed

I rooted mine just to get rid of two things: Facebook app Amazon MP3 Store app Was worth it.

It sounds like the app has some credentials set up in it that are just not correct. You could try checking your account manager (under Settings) to see if you have a Facebook account listed there, which you can then delete. I have the Nexus One, with the Facebook app, and can confirm that this is not supposed to happen.

  Well that did it =). I HAD a facebook account. Once I got rid of it I started getting this issue and couldn't uninstall. Thanks
