Adding my hotmail account to my iPhone 4S?

I am attempting to add my hotmail account to my new iPhone. I am following the instructions to go to "Settings", then , "Mail, Contacts, Calendars", then I am tapping "Add account" and adding Windows Live Hotmail. Then they are asking me for my already existing hotmail address and password, which I fill in. When it attempts to verify it, it comes back "unable to verify account information". Any suggestions what I am missing or doing wrong? Thanks.

Update:

Edit: To the first poster, this is an option already in the iPhone. They offer about 6 email support sites, including Yahoo, GMail, Microsoft Exchange. This is not something I am typing in. The option is already in the phone to select one of these as an email account, and Hotmail is one of them. I am not looking for a smartaleck; I am looking for someone who knows and has this phone and who can maybe help me. You don't have this on your iPhone 4S? Maybe I am seeing things....not. Take another look at the settings on your phone and apologize.
