I have suggested this before on another thread and i'm not sure if you can do it on your phone but here it goes.

Root it and use titanium backup to force uninstall, it's how I removed all the junk.

If you go to Settings >> Accounts & Sync, can you at least uncheck "Sync Contacts" for Facebook?

Or just remove your Facebook login credentials entirely, thus rendering the app unable to do anything? (I don't have that exact model but I think this should work, no?)

I have the Facebook app forced on my Nexus One (thanks, Google!) but I never logged in and it didn't touch my contacts as hoped.

I rooted my HTC Evo just so I could "freeze" the facebook and sprint apps. I got a good amount of extra battery life by doing so.
