MIDlet icon sizes

In Symbian, it is recommended to use SVG icons for best quality icons and best scaling results.

Since Symbian^3, bitmap icon scaling has been improved. Good looking icons can be created by providing large icons (100x100, 150x150 or even 200x200 pixels).

The following tables describe the size of MIDlet icons in Series 40 and Symbian devices with different display resolutions:
