Powerpixel has been kind enough to share some info on phone screen sizes. It may help those of you interested in formatting your images for many screen sizes.

300x300 - for square screens (i.e. Nokia 3100 (128x128), Nokia 8800 (208x208))
320x240 - for 4:3 screen ratio (Nokia E61, N95)
240x320 - for 3:4 narrow screens
176x144 - Nokia Series60 (models like 6600, 6630, 7610, N70, NGage,...)
176x220 - Wide range of SonyEricsson models (K700, W810, Z1010,), Motorola (RAZR, ROKR, Pebl, V600, many other models)
320x480 - Apple iPhone screen size

Just to let you know we will be adding an advanced feature in the next few weeks. It will allow sellers to upload multiple screen resolutions - so start getting those images ready !

Hi

so would you recommend uploading each image for each screen size or still upload images 640x480px?

And I assume mobile phone screen resolution is also 72dpi?

Hi onnoknuvers,
Good question. We're actually just developing new functionality that will allow you to specify certain resolutions for specific phones. We hope to have this release out within the next couple of weeks.

So I'd suggest holding off on uploading different resolutions until this new feature is added.

As for the dpi 72 will be fine for mobile phones. However, image quality tends to be quite a personal preference. You could try purchasing some of your own content to see what it looks like and that might help you determine what dpi you want to use. Still, your images look great on my Sony Ericsson K800!

I'll let you know in our seller newsletter as soon as we've got our new changes in place.

Cheers

Further to what bell said,

the multiple resolution uploads per image is for those who really want to have more control on the image which is delivered to the device.

voeveo auto-sizes images prior to delivery to devices (if they are larger than phone screen resolution), and will continue to do so for those who simply want to upload large high quality images which are then sized for the phones automatically. So in this case high quality 640x480 should be fine. Also, feel free to upload at an even larger size if you want. If it is really big it will just get rejected, but it would have to be quite massive.

cheers
