Facebook Profile Pic To Contacts?
 
Does anybody know if there is an app out there to allow you to associate quickdial contacts with a Facebook profile so it would pull down current profile pics daily? Just thought it would be easier than getting a new picture for each of my contacts to override the grainy default outlook pic.

OutSync is a free Windows application that syncs photos of your Facebook friends with matching contacts in Microsoft Outlook. It allows you to select which contacts are updated. So you can update all contacts at once or just a few at a time.

The main benefit of OutSync is for Windows Mobile users. Updated contacts are automatically synced with Windows Mobile devices by Exchange server or ActiveSync. Thus new and fun photos appear during calls and other places where contacts are used.

OutSync is compatible with Windows XP, Vista and Server 2003. It requires Outlook 2003 or 2007.

Try Vringo

Dont know if this link will work.... http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref...15392534&ref=s

I tried it in the past and it works pretty good. Only issue I had was if the peeps pic was funny shaped then it looked weird on the phone.

Also, I wrote this in the Touch Pro section because I was specifically looking for something that would get higher resolution than the default Outlook pics when using tf3d. Sorry if I wasn't specific. I figured I should specify now since the thread was moved.

I've been wanting to do this as well. The problem is that outsync only syncs to your "outlook" mail profile and not windows live.

You will only get resolution as high as what facebook allows for a profile pic.

Facebook resolution is sufficient. Outlook resolution is not.
