Images will only be of a poorer quality due to compression if the
network implements some kind of optimisation, it's not an inherent
issue/"feature" of GPRS. When I was on Orange this depended on the APN
used - when using the internet APN, JPEG images were compressed, but
not when loading the same page via the WAP APN.
