Useful hack of the day:

If you are a Verizon Wireless customer and have ever tried to get pictures off your phone using their vzwpix site, you probably hate this company more than anyone else on the planet until you finally give up or decide to go buy that micro SSD card reader… This is because they give you this ludicrously small jpeg thumbnail to look at and no obvious way to get at the full size, original file that you have already paid to upload via airtime charges! There is a solution to the problem.

http://picture.vzw.com/mi/1234567890_0.jpeg?limitsize=580,480&outquality=56&ext=.jpg&border=0,0,0,0

Right-click the image they show you in the ‘view larger image’ link and copy it. It will look like the above link.

Paste it into your address bar. Look at the query string values ‘limitsize’ and ‘outquality’. Change limitsize to the full native resolution you uploaded your picture at and outquality to 100 and hit enter. Enjoy your original photo upload.
