Recommended Image Size for Contact Pictures?

Hi All,

I want to edit up some family members to attach thier images to my iPhone contacts... Does anyone know what the preferred resolution size is for the iPhone for optimal appearance?

I've tried to do this with outlook before, and I hate the way it dithers the images to a low quality.... I'm hoping that the iPhone doesn't do this and so I wanted to experiment with how they would appear...

But instead of making the images just any random size, I wanted to crop them to the preferred image/pixel size so that my photoshopped images look like what I expect them to show up like...

If you could advise with the documented or known pixel resolution size used by the iPhone it would be appreciated!

HP M8120N, Windows Vista

Thanks, but I don't believe that the contacts come up full screen do they?

Usually there is a optimal image size for certain things like contact photos and I am just trying to help ensure that all my photos are the same size and don't vary...

I might be a little carried away with how I am formatting them, but just hoping someone already knows this answer!

If you add the photos in the iPhone they will actually show up on the entire screen, if you add the in your address book on your PC they will show up as a small square when they call or when you call so depends where you add the photo
If it's on your PC just make it really small because like I said it will be showing up small anyway

I understand that, but Outlook kills a good contact picture... If you have something in a photo software, no matter how good it looks, my edition of outlook 2007 dithers the image so bad it becomes blocky and very poor... I'm not happy with how outlook is doing this and I thought the iPhone might be able to do better...

Has anyone else noticed this?
