Q: Sense UI vs. Outlook photo (WM) - General Questions and Answers

I have a few contacts in my phone that have had a photo associated with them, well before I got my TP2 with SenseUI.
Now with SenseUI it pulls the current FB photo for those contacts associated with FB accounts.
I love this feature.
What is strange is, my wife for example.
Her photo all throughout the phone (contacts pages, etc) is her current FB photo. That changes once I am in a call with her. Then the call screen shows her old Outlook photo from a while ago.
How do I update this?

How can I retreive MSN/Live display picture as phonebook contact picture?

I could screen capture all the people display pictures in my PC, crop them and paste them into Outlook one by one.
But I've got about 30-50 contacts so there must be some smarter way to do it?
I just tried the new Live Messenger in WM6 which adds contacts into the phonebook, a total mess with duplicates that I already have.
Any guides that I can manage Outlook (Office 2003), WM6 Contacts and Live Messenger better?
Thanks in advance!

Some contact birthdays & anniversaries not showing up in calendar after GB update

Since I got the OTA update, I have noticed that some of my contacts birthdays and anniversaries no longer show up in the calendar. They still show up in the contact list on my phone, and they show up in Google Contacts and well as Google Calendar, but some aren't making it to the phone calendar.
I have forced refreshes and have done things like slightly change small pieces of information (such as part of the person's name) but nothing works and I can't figure out any reason why it is only affecting a few people but not everyone; everyone else in my contacts shows up in the calendar as they're supposed to.
Anyone else notice this? Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Contact pictures and BMW bluetooth kit

I have a sensation and an BMW series 5 f10. It Works just great with the sensation. Office functions only include contacts and SMS. Nothing more...
It even gets contact pictures for the contacts that include a picture. The picture needs to be in the contact (e.g. Outlook contact) and cannot be a picture from a Facebook linked contact.
The only strange thing is that I get the contact pictures for the majority of my contacts except for 5 or 6 (out of 200 contacts with pictures) that I used the most. Any idea why?
What makes that it transfers the contacts pictures for all other contacts except this few ones?
Any idea on how can I debug what is going on?

The contact pictures are blurry as hell

I used syncmypix and the **** still doesn't fix the blurry facebook photos that I have. Wtf do I have to do to fix this problem that's plagued all of android?
It's pretty much been a known issue since Android came into existence. Those crappy blurry pictures aren't because of your Android, but Google. You set up your Google account and it's set to sync your contacts. For whatever reason, Google has decided to rescale your pictures.
No matter what apps you use to sync your pictures e.g. syncmypix etc, when comes to your phone syncing with Google, it's gonna pull down those blurry pictures again.
In short: Go to Settings>Accounts & Sync>Google and uncheck Contacts. Then you can set any picture manually/use your pic syncing app.
Sync your contacts with "Facebook For HTC Sense" not "Facebook"
FB for HTC Sense is also blurry, was fixed with the Desire but it's broken again
Apparently pics are blurry using exchange too, if you add the images to the contacts in outlook.
The solution with that is to add the images to the contact on the phone, it then saves it with the contact in outlook so should you move phones it still uses the unmodified image.
Wondering if that info's of any use.

Syncing facebook using HTC sense

Is it possible so sync facebook pictures to my contacts directly so that it is saved on the contact instead of only displaying the facebook photo within sense?
So for example, if I saw my contact inside of gmail on my computer, it would have the facebook photo.
