Well,

Apparently, the iPhone has a problem with large resolution pictures for contacts. So what I did to test this problem, as described in the previous two blog postings, was to try a large resolution picture for a contact, then I replaced it with a lower resolution picture that I took with the iPhone itself and assigned it to that contact. I tried this 5 times with 5 different large resolution pictures and 5 different lower resolution pictures. The end result was that the iPhone doesn’t handle a large resolution picture well. What is that maximum or minimum? I don’t know yet, as most of the pictures in my iPhoto collection are of the same resolution. It does has me wondering though. The trick seems to be that for a contact, the best practice would be to use a low resolution picture to start with, or to take a picture of your contact with your iPhone and attach it to the contact.
