Vodafone scales images under WAP, not Meteor or O2

Hi,
I have a Nokia 6021 and have been testing software on it using
a Meteor, O2 & Vodafone pre paid WAP accounts.

When I goto the following URL: http://www.howiya.com/picture.jpg
I get a picture back. This is not a webpage but just a Jpeg image.

When using O2 & Meteor it returns the full image 320x240 (12.9k)

When using Vodafone it returns the image scaled down to 128x96 (2.8k)

I tried returning a HTML page with a IMG tag with the width/height set but Vodafone STILL scales it down to 128x96.

I'm guessing my phone is sending my device capabilities and only the Vodafone network using these to scale the images for my phone?

Please how can I stop this happening?
Im starting to think I cannot.
Any advice would be appriciated.

Regards,
Barry

I have tried everything and nothing works.
Even Orange POP in Poland doesn't scale the images.
No other network I have tried automatically scales images except Vodafone.
This is a REAL pain.
If you want to use Internet on your phone avoid Vodafone Prepaid.
Post paid may be different I dont know.

I eventually got through to a smart guy in support and Vodafone cannot stop the image resizing. It's the gateway.

If you put a Java-based web browser on your phone (e.g. Opera mini) it might work! But people have been having mixed results with Opera mini on Vodafone Live. It works with some phones but not with others.
