Yes you should be able to.  From any home screen, press the Menu button (left physical button) and then select Settings > Account & sync and press the "Add account" button at the bottom.  Scroll down to the "More accounts" section and press on "Windows Live"  Type in your hotmail user name, then select the down arrow in the "Select service" field and choose hotmail.com. Check "Remember my password" and then sign in.  You should then be able to select sync settings that will import and sync your hotmail contacts.

Hmmm... on further investigation I think I spoke too quickly.  I see in the "Add an account" window that there are "Integrated contact accounts" - Facebook, Twitter and MySpace - and "More accounts".  The clear implication is that not all accounts you can set up under Accounts & sync will allow you to sync contacts with the phone.

 

However, you may be able to work around this using the "Buddies Now" widget.

 

Sorry for any confusion.  I am still learning too!

Setup your Hotmail account as an exchange account? Then you can choose email, contacts or calendar to sync to the phone.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.
