Default HTC HD@ Blurry outlook pics?! A Fix Available?

ive had to flash my phone and it resync'd with outlook and all my contact pictures on htc hd2 (ALMOST 100 of them have pictures) are blurry..

is there a easy fix for this? or do i have to manually fix them all by searching my caller id pics on storage card?

Thanks for any help

I thought this happened with just using gmail sync with outlook but it appears from your posts that it's an outlook issue. I tried shooting contact pics from the phone, setting the pics online, and same thing each time.

So I switched to syncing my contacts with MyPhone and they are nice and clear. No more blur

outlook defaults to 128x128 and I have yet you find a fix as I expect exchange servers will maintain there size also. to get your hi-res pics back you need to link them though sense again either manually or by facebook.

it might be worth a forum search to see if anyonI has found a fix

No fix to it.
Instead I just backup my contacts with pim backup, it's very easy and fast.
I do not update my contacts too much so I'm happy with that. It's worth it.

Smile Finally fixed!!

I also had this problem, but now I finally found a way to fix this.
Install outlook 2010. Outlook 2010 has the automatic option to attach High Res contact pictures.

So what you need to do is:

- Install Outlook 2010
- Add your contact pictures again, and Outlook will put the High res version into your contact.

Good luck!!
