I use T-Mobile Web n Walk Pro and if you load a web page with a JPEG file
in, it gives you a web page with a Javascript thing added that shows a lower
quality version of the image and gives you the option to load the proper
version by pressing a key combination (forgotten what it is). Therefore
HTML requests must go via some proxy server that mangles the graphics.
