Problem with Facebook status blocking phone numbers in contact list

Unlike a lot of users, I don't mind that my Facebook contacts merge with my other contacts.  However, I am having a problem with viewing all the information in some of the individual profiles.  It seems that whenever someone updates their FB status, the status posts where the phone number usually is.  The only way to view the phone info for these contacts is to "edit" the entry, then you can see the phone info.  Does anyone know if there is any way to eliminate the status update from the contact information?

If your goal is to view the info this won't help, but if you touch the picture a menu comes with a way to call the contact?

Hi my name is Leslie vzw employee. There is not a way to block updates on device but can block from facebook. If you don't want to see their status at all, even in your news feed on facebook, then you can block them on the facebook website. You stay friends and can still interact with them but you will no longer see status updates. IF you want to still see that stuff on FB, then you are going to see it in your contacts.

I don't mind seeing their updates, I don't even mind seeing the update on the individual contacts page.   I mind not being able to see the phone number field in my contacts list.  I have a friend that has the original Droid and he stated that the update is at the bottom of the screen, not the top covering the phone number.  Why is it that on a phone with so much "ability" that it has to put the Facebook status field over the phone number?
