Wouldn't it be better to just use the hotmail app, with push notifications?

Or if you still want to use the built in app then simply setup the account as a 'Corporate / Exchange' account (ActiveSync) using:

Select MANUAL setup

Server: m.hotmail.com

username: \[email protected]

password: ??????

This way you get to sync your emails, calendar and contacts (you can select which you want). Sadly the Hotmail app doesn't allow the editing of contacts for some odd reason?
