How to Get Linkedin Contacts to Sync?

When I set up my Linkedin account, all my contacts ended up in my BlackBerry contacts. It worked well. I allowed BlackBerry to link them to my existing contacts, and the links it performed were logical.

Today, I added a few dozen Linkedin associations. However, these new contacts are not showing up in my Contacts app (in All Contacts, or even in specific Linkedin Contacts). They are showing as 1st person connections in Linkedin app and online.

Any idea how often BlackBerry will sync up with my Linkedin account and/or is there a way to make it sync (other than removing and reading Linkedin account, which would be a nightmare)?

You can force all syncs refresh by turning airplane mode on and the off.

Thanks. Turned off the device for the night, and when I turned it on this morning, all my LinkedIn contacts were there. So do LinkedIn contacts only sync when turning connections on then off?

How often is it programmed to sync otherwise?

I said turning the connections off forces the sync, nowhere was it implied the sync only happens in that situation.

OK so how often do they sync automatically?

Nobody knows the number, hence us coming up with a way to force it.

Maybe it's only daily, because I waited 8 hours, and they didn't sync.

Thank you for the workaround though!
