Maybe its just me but is anyone else getting frustrated with cropping your wallpaper? I crop the image to my liking and its all zoomed in, totally not what I cropped it to be. I wish you didn't have to crop the wallpaper and the whole image would just automatically fit to the screen. I have images that are 480x800 and they still look like crap when cropped? Any suggestions?

Use higher res images...more specifically, more pixels are needed horizontally due to the scrolling action of the home screens.

You need wallpapers sized at 800x960, assuming you have 7 home screens to scroll through.

Almost all of my images are 960w x 800h images. This size works great on the MT4G. I can not see the outside edges, probably because I don't have 7 screens enabled. No big deal because I create my own wallpapers.

The device crops the images, so I'm not sure why you want to crop them yourself, but the 960x800 works great for me... unless you are talking about the lock screen, and even the 960x800 images work for that screen, it just crops more and displays less of the image.
