you are.

the Microsoft Outlook data on, including Outlook contacts’ pictures, on your
computer.
NOTE: Microsoft Outlook XP or Microsoft Outlook 2003 is required for synchronization
of Outlook contacts' pictures.

Synchronizing information with your computer

ActiveSync supports the following connection options between your device and your
computer:
•USB connection – using the USB sync cable. This connection is established
when you created your device’s ActiveSync partnership with your computer.
IMPORTANT: Using an external USB hub when establishing an ActiveSync
connection may result to have some connection instabilities such as drops in the
connection, or an unresponsive computer. For more information about this issue, see
article 817900, "USB port may stop working after removing or inserting USB device" in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base at http://support.microsoft.com.
•Infrared connection – This connection is only applicable if your computer has an
infrared port. This method is ideal for quickly switching between multiple devices
since there are no cables or adapters to change.
•Bluetooth connection – This connection is only applicable if your computer is
equipped with a Bluetooth adapter or access point.
