$1.99 app can fix this issue in a matter of only a few min. This drove me crazy trying to fix on my own the past two days. I broke down and bought the app smartsync and it was fixed in a matter of minutes!!!! I strongly suggest plus it syncs your Facebook birthdays to the calendar!

SmartSync won't work. It only syncs with FB and it does not sync phone # and emails. Basically it's a POS and useless.

This is frustrating me to no end! I synced my contacts from Google (well the Apple guy did when I bought the phone). Added photos from my phone. They come up small. Then I tested what another poster suggested, by adding someone directly to my Iphone contacts and linking them to the exchange contact, then tested it and it still comes up a dinky thumbnail. I am not a happy camper. I am not linked to FB or Twitter contacts - because I don't want the photos to change all the time. Oh and I'm not JB.

There has to be an easier way or am I just SOL?

It's an issue with Google, which compresses contact photos. If you sync your contact with Google, no matter what picture you loaded on your phone for a contact, as soon as a sync occurs, pffft...compressed image. Sucks big time but no way around it as far as I know (other than not syncing with Google).
