A question an associating pics with contacts?

So my question is when you associate a picture with a contact in your gallery, will this picture still count against the limit of 20?

i just got this phone and i'm trying to understand limitations.

i am also hoping to buy a data cable soon. any recommendations?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

yes they do and that is what sucks about the phone, u cant store that many pictures on it.

its weird, I have certain pictures set to certain contacts. and when they call me i see the picture i assigned for that contact. but when i call them the picture i assigned is not shown, instead another random picture is there. What's up with that?
