Exact wallpaper and caller ID picture sizes for Sanyo 6400
I have spent a good bit of time experimenting with sample images (with per-pixel rulers on them) to find out exactly what the optimum image sizes are for the Sanyo 6400, so I figured I should share with anyone else that might be wanting to put some custom pictures onto their trusty "Mr. Skinny for Vision."
BASIC IMAGE CONSTRUCTION
