Picture caller ID

I took a picture with the phone and set it for one of my contacts. When the phone rings the picture ID fills the entire screen (which is really nice) but it is distorted and stretched vertically (because the picture was taken in landscape mode which is the only way with this phone).

Anybody experience this and know of a workaround?

Thanks

I had the same problem when initially trying picture ID. I have figured out a quick workaround that keeps the picture full screen and not stretched. Follow these steps:

1. Take a picture with the phone held vertically. (Hold the phone like you would hold when using the menus, ignore the "turn the phone sideways" to take the picture)
2. After taking the picture, press "review" and then press "My Pics"
3. Find the picture you just took and press "View" (It should look sideways)
4. Press "options" and scroll down to rotate.
5. You should rotate 90 degrees clockwise (so it is vertical like when you took it) and the image will resave.
6. Set the new picture file as your picture ID

Works like a charm
