I am wondering where the images of our contacts are saved.
I guess everyone notices that WP uses the images of our friends on Facebook or other account as the figures of the contacts. Now I have a contact who is not listed in my other accounts but only in my phonebook (Outlook). I am trying to find a way to add an image for him so that I can see his head when he calls. I didn't find the option in Outlook. But I find that there is an option in WP that can add an image. The image has to be able to be located in the photo library. So I save one of his photos on my Skydrive and use it as the contact image. I choose "Outlook" when it asks me which account I want to upload the photo to. After that, I am able to see his image on my phone.
Later, when I checked the contact in Outlook, the contact is still shown as no image. I wonder if the image is only available on my phone. Also, the image is still there even after I delete his photo from my Skydrive. Does this mean that only a copy of my friend's image is saved locally but not synced to Outlook/Hotmail? Does that mean that I will lose all the contact photos that I manually add if I need to reset the phone?
