Hi Patrick, it's a known bug in many Nokia phones that they have a maxSize of 255 on all fields, including the PHOTO.
And yes, there is a remoterule option called <ignoredevinfmaxsize> for that. It applies to all fields, however I agree that those constant 255 maxsizes are probably meaningless anyway.
