I personally don't know if there is a short cut in doing what I am about to tell you but hey if it gets the job done it gets done right? I usually go onto my computer to my friends facebook or myspace and browse their pics and save which ones I want as my contacts onto my memory card where all of my pics are. Then I go onto my phone into my photo album and find the picture and set it from there. Ive tested setting it through the edit contact and through the photo album and this was the issue. Setting it through edit contact made some of the pics blurry but when I set the exact same picture from my photo album the photo was "clear as mud" as my English teacher would say. Hope that helps!
Also someone said before about backing up contacts. I usually back up my contacts through my sd card. This way all of my pictures AND ringtones that I have set to the contacts gets saved. No need to set them again. Then when I reflash, flash, reflash, flash, all I have to do is go into my sd. Copy the PIM I just pasted onto my device. Soft reset your device and all of your contacts, pictures to your contacts and ringtones to your contacts are there without having to dig on microsoft my phone or what not to find them. Aslo with the PIM method your favorite peoples will still be there automatically just as they were before when you PIM backed them up. The only downfall to this method is you would have to copy and paste the PIM from my device to your sd card and overwrite the old one EVERY TIME you add a new contact otherwise the previous PIM is going to only have those contacts you had before and no new ones you've added unless you overwrite the old one on your sd card, but who really adds a contact everyday?? Hope that helps.

Thanks a bunch for the advice. I didn't think of that method of adding pics to contacts.
After trying it, when selecting a random pic just using File Explorer, as I save the pic to contact, it requires cropping, so the picture is super small (but clear though!)... and I have a few landscape pictures that show up as upside-down. heheh.. man, this favorites thing has not been "favorable" in my end... =P
Oh, and to answer Winmonewbie... I did flash... I'm sort of a big flasher, and have gotten down the process of getting my phone back up and configured in a small amount of time.
Recently, Sashimi has made that process OH SO EASY
