These are the settings for Hotmail as exchange on my Galaxy Nexus. They might be different on your phone.

Domain\Username: \youremail@hotmail.com
Password: **********
Server: m.hotmail.com
Use secure connection (SSL) is YES
This exchange setting also offers Automatic (Push) notification of emails.
