The centre coordinates given in the example url are for Rome, not
London. London is around (51,0), not (41,12). It's a pity the example
image doesn't match the url!

When I use that url with a size of 240x320, it's tiny. 480x640 is four
times the size (as expected) and covers a quarter of my phone screen,
and since the largest requestable dimension is 640px that's as good as
it gets. My HTC Mozart 7 has a WVGA display at 480x800, so the end
result is smaller than a 1:1 image size. I've no idea why Mobile IE7
does that to images.

My previous smartphone had a VGA display and I'm sure that behaved
"correctly" [it's at home, can't check at the moment], so maybe
mobiles which have a pinch-to-zoom capability will be different. That
is, an image of 640x480 will be displayed full-screen on mobiles which
can't zoom; and those which do zoom can cope too.
