Outlook 2007 Contact Sync Question

[psklenar]

Thanks for the research you folks have done on the syncing question! If I may, I have one other Outlook/Sync related question that I'd like to ask and this seems like it might be a better place to ask than to start a new thread ...

Contact pictures. Does Outlook reduce them to a specific size? I had created 240x320 images back when I was running a Samsung SCH-i760 and those images look ... errr ... less than crisp & clear on my new TP2 with it's 400x800 display. I tried creating a larger contact image and loading it into Outlook and re-syncing and I don't beleive I see any difference on the TP2. Should I?

Thanks!

Actually, I did it the other way around. Using Windows Mobile Device Center, I determined that the TP2 uses a 272x272 pixel image, at 72 dpi, for its contact photos. I went through my photos on my desktop, and cropped and created jpeg files at that resolution for use on the TP2.

Using WMDC again, I copied those files into the appropriate folder on the TP2 (I think it was My Documents...My Pictures... or something like that). I then assigned them to the appropriate contacts on the TP2, and they look fine.

After reading your posts, I realized that those contact pictures were transferred to Outlook when I synced the TP2 - didn't expect that, but it makes sense. They look decent there as well.

Also found it convenient on the TP2 to use a Facebook link to add photos for those of my contacts who are on my Facebook friends list.

Most excellent! Thank you for that info! I can't wait until tomorrow when I should have some time to "play".

Again, thank you!
