I have the HTC 8X windows mobile phone. ~20% of contacts that I modify on my phone do not sync with outlook13 and my hotmail.com email. Calendar syncs fine.

I have Office365 in my laptop and and a @hotmail.com email account.
Occasionally, I receive a 80048888 error code (a communication type of error with the dub-m.hotmail.com server).
Can someone suggest a solution other than re-installing my account in my phone?
