[Q] Question about the best image quality for Contacts

---

So, I just bought the Epic.. Coming from HTC Pro 2... Syncing with my contacts from my Exchange 2007 server and Outlook 2007.

So, I have loaded up most of my contacts with photos using Outlook.. The issue is, they degrade the image to 72x72.. Looks horrible.. At one time or another, I used Photo Contacts Pro for Windows Mobile, and it made the image quality 300x300 which was much better,

So, now on the Epic, I want to start replacing some of the contact pictures I have.. What is the best way of going around that? If I use Oulook (which is the fastest method), it will degrade the picture to a blury/jaggy mess... If I use the contact settings on the Epic, I see I can load them from my Picassa... But what resolution/dpi will that be at?

Is there a better method?

Bonus question: Is there a way to backup all the links I make with my contacts (ie: linking each to Facebook), so when I put a new custom ROM on, I woun't lose all that work?

Thanks in advance for any help!

I would say the problem is def the limitations of outlook. I have noticed this happen to me before when syncing my contacts from outlook to any device I used iphone the biggest problem. Now using android I have google manage all my contacts because its effortless. Just type in your email and they are there. I will note though that you can set the images of your contacts from gmail contact page but they still do not seem to be quite as high quality as when I set them via the phone. But once they are set threw the phone the quality will remain high on the next device I sync them to.
